Fella Mower issues

[rye2006]

Hi All
Recently purchased a Fella 167 to cut a small field put new blades in it and set off today in 540 pto
Initially it seemed to cut although a little rough but then was only flattening grass maybe cutting very top
I've adjusted top link slightly forward which didnt really make much difference
Seemed like pto was right speed when off the deck but when lowered pto seemed slow
Thanks in advance

It sounds like the belts are slipping.

Pull the belt guard off and see what the belts look like. If they look well and are nice and tight, try again with more revs and less forward speed.

Some mowers don’t like cutting certain types of grass. It’s usually weed type grass that’s dead on its feet they would rather chow it or not cut it at all. I’ve seen vicon drum mowers just slip the belts in this type of stuff and basically refuse
