Brush Hog Set Up

1, Using the middle hole for the top link, about how long should the top link be?

2, The draft lever, under the right side of the seat which position should I set that at horizontal or vertical?

3, The rear wheel on the hog, how should that be set up? Am I looking for a certain angle for the rear tire or the overall deck?..I once heard something about setting the angle to reduce scalping, but don't remember it all.

...and thanks to Dell..." an ORC for a safer day".

Thanks

I use height limiter chains to set the front of the hog, its eazier on the hydraulics and when I come to an obstical, I can raise the hog and the chains collaspe. Then I can drop the hog back to the height that the chains are set without worrying about where I set the hydraulic lift control. Limiter chains, buy them $30-40, or make 'em.

I am pleased to learn that you have ORC'd..... .Dell, the self-appointed ORC safety preacher

Would like to try your concept of using "height limiter chains". Any help as to where to attach on 9N tractor would be greatly appreciated.

NOTE: the drawing shows using the top hole in the top link rocker - you should ALWAYS use the lowest hole. ONLY exception I can think of is, when in draft mode and using a cultivator you may wany to use the top hole for finer/quicker response to the drag of the cultivator. That will keep from digging in TOO deep and possibably ripping out the crop you are cultivating.

"Set your hogs tailwheel a little taller, so that the front of the hog is only mowing the grass once"

so the front of the hog by the 3 pt hitch is a bit lower (3"-4")than the tail/wheel right?

Thanks.
