I think this is covered by others here, and I have zero experience with a drum mower but have used other mowers for decades.....

But, they would have some sort of linkage to lift, and float, as the three point goes up and down? Often a very small adjustment of this linkage makes a very big difference. Changing tractors means you have to change that adjustment? This float to carry the far end often has a spring involved, and some angle strut. Anything loose, sloppy, or mis adjusted will cause problems, only a few threads of a bolt can be a big difference.....

Your tractor needs the 3pt arms level, at least the right one will have a crank on it to level it with the left one - often the left side also has adjustments. Again a few cranks makes a very small actual adjustment, but can be a big swing of a difference to an implement 8 feet wide.

The manual for the mower probably covers this, we often don't have the manuals we should, and if we have them we forget to look at them....
