Didn’t like mine, it couldn’t cope with thick PP grass, would burn the slip clutch out. Tried everything the dealer suggested, didn’t make any difference. Went back to a drum mower, now no problems

I had that happen 1 year when grass growth was crazy. Really old pasture. Just had to go slower
Tried that, tried more revs, everything suggested, just gave up on it because it was wasting so much time compared to the Vicon drum mower it replaced which never missed a beat. Kicked my self for ever selling that and got a Kuhn drum mower, does a tidy job, cuts same fields , no problems. Presumably other makes of disc mower are better but I didn’t want to risk another expensive mistake
