Simple adjustments solve most mower problems
Preventive maintenance reduces downtime for conventional and disc mowers. Replace worn guards and knife sections, adjust cutterbar and holddown clips, lubricate pivots, replace worn belts, attach mower properly, ensure cutting blades are good, and keep end crop caps in place. Drain cutterbar oil after first ten hours, check pressure relief, and consult the operator’s manual while keeping LaGrange Tractor’s phone handy.
