[QUOTE="thesilentone, post: 7066356, member: 6194"] Nothing you can do I'm afraid. There is no cam on the head-stock to lift the outer end of the mower up any higher. The lower link pins appear to be adjustable for length only, this will be to ensure (dependent on what size of tractor) that you clear the tyre and straddle the cut swath. Setting the mower down on flat concrete, the drums should be flat on the ground, and the flotation slot in the middle, then shorten the top link ONE TURN only. This is NOT to 'toe-in' the drums, but to ensure when operating the drag from the crop takes out all the free-play in the tractor linkage and the mower (bottom saucers) are perfectly flat on the ground. If you want to alter the length of cut, drop the bottom saucers off and add or subtract spacers to do this. If you are still not happy, the only other solution would be to reduce the length of the flotation slot slightly by filling it with a piece of plate/bolt/chewing gum :) [/QUOTE]
