Gearbox FAQs

We recommend using SAE 80W-90 gear oil for optimal performance. Always check the oil level before use and replace it regularly.​

A noisy gearbox can result from low oil levels, worn-out bearings, or misaligned gears. Check the lubrication and inspect for wear. If the issue persists, consider replacing faulty components.​

Hydraulic Cylinder FAQs

Leaks usually occur due to worn seals, cracked hoses, or over-pressurization. Inspect the cylinder and replace seals if necessary.​

Extend and retract the cylinder slowly several times to remove air while ensuring the hydraulic fluid reservoir is filled to the recommended level.​

Stump Jumper FAQs

A stump jumper helps protect the cutter from obstacles like rocks and stumps by allowing the blades to glide over them without causing damage.​

Inspect the stump jumper for wear, dents, or cracks after every season. Replace it if it shows signs of severe wear or imbalance.​

Driveshaft FAQs

If your driveshaft vibrates excessively, makes unusual noises, or shows signs of excessive wear (e.g., bent tubing or worn U-joints), it’s time for a replacement.​

Apply high-quality grease to the universal joints and telescoping sections every 8-10 hours to prevent wear and tear.​

Rotary Cutter FAQs

The blade height depends on the type of vegetation. Set light grass at 2-4 inches, and adjust it for thicker brush to 6-8 inches.​

Unbalanced blades cause excessive vibration. To balance them:​

  1. Remove and clean the blades.​
  2. Check for uneven wear.​
  3. Use a blade balancer or weigh each blade before reinstalling.​
