Simple adjustments solve most mower rake problems
In a three part series, Bob Dinsmore of Sperry New Holland details preventive maintenance for conventional and disc mowers and rakes. Replace worn guards and knife sections, adjust guards full length, lubricate pivots, check drive belts, and attach mower properly to the tractor. For disc mowers ensure blades are in good condition and use end crop dividers. Rakes require minor tuning, replacing bent tines, and monitoring gearbox lubrication. Maintain set ground speed and keep the teeth several inches above ground.
