Just in case you encounter the problem of the Brush Hog controlling the tractor after you push in the clutch (the tractor will lurch forward and feel unstable) caused by the continued rotation of the brush hog blades which in turn, cause the transmission of the tractor to turn, you can purchase and install an "over run clutch" on the PTO drive line. This clutch is a $65-85 device that allowes the hot to continue to spin without turning the transmission of the tractor. Makes for a lot safer operation. Most dealers will have such a device and they are mostly universal. I got one from 1800700GREY. Good luck!
: First time I tried to used my 5' brush hog with my 8N and I'm havin trouble with the front of the brush hog diggin in the ground. Only one wheel on the brush hog and its on the back ( i think this is normal) .. I tried just setting the height at one level but the lot is not level ... just slightly hilly ...so it didn't work. I end up diggin up part of the yard. any suggestions?
