What is the correct throttle setting for a cutter bar? Lastly, I was running at pretty low throttle setting, afraid of wearing out the cutter needlessly.
Note: it has two zerk fittings, but I am talking about lubing the sliding parts, not the oscillating mechanism.

It may have been the same basic idea as the first one.ĭoes anyone have a link to a user's manual for this thing? I think I found a service manual online, but it is almost entirely just diagrams.Īlso, what do you use for lubrication? I think I saw somewhere online one guy used chainsaw bar lube. How do you do the second adjustment? I think he told me, but I forgot. Maybe I didn't hit it hard enough? Not the right angle? Maybe the procedure is wrong? I did try this, and it didn't seem to increase the tension. He suggested using a punch to avoid damage. He said that the first adjustment (keeping cutting blades pushed against each other) is done by hitting the tension arms with a hammer at a particular angle (loosening is done by hitting them right in the middle).
Second, the guy I bought it from (seems quite knowledgeable) said that there are two adjustments, one to keep the moving blades pushed against the lower blades, and one to keep the bar (behind the moving blades) pushed forward. Can I sharpen them with a file anyway? Do you take the blade assembly off to sharpen it? How often do you sharpen? In the densest tallest grass areas with the driest, stiffest grass it did pretty well.įirst, the blades are serrated. Also, a lot of grass got trapped between the moving blades and the stationary blades. What I saw was that not all grass was cut. The results were only so-so, so I wanted some advice.
I ran it for a while today on my BCS tractor. I recently bought a used sickle/cutter bar mower.
