Overview
A structured pre-season checklist walkthrough covering ten specific tasks before using a rotary cutter: gearbox oil condition, greasing zerks (including commonly missed PTO shaft and shield zerks), blade inspection and un-tucking, torque specs for blade bolts (350-400 ft-lbs), slip clutch burn-in, level and tilt adjustment, and cutting height setup. Goes beyond a surface overview with practical problem-spotting tips like reading grass color for oil leaks and net wrap damage. Best for new brush hog owners.
