: : HELP!!! I have a 6' sickle bar on my Ford 2000 diesel tractor.The tractor has a 8 speed transmission,4 in high gear and 4 in low gear.My problem is when I cut weeds with my sickle bar it take twice as long as it should because the cut weeds keep jaming up my bar. I have all new guides and blades and I cut at 1700r.p.m. in low gear,approx. .8 M.P.H. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? PLEASE TELL ME!!! : Unless the weeds are very thick and the mower won't take it, I would move alot faster. I usually like to mow as fast as the mower will take it and as can be safely driven. If there is alot of dry trash, weeds allready there it will also jam up the mower. There are numerous reasons that could be causing your problem. A little more info on the nature of the jam ups would help. I would say that it is out of time. Move the blades into or out of the gaps with the machine off of course or else have your brother in law do it.
