I sent the tractor and mower up to get fixed. The tractor was fixed under warrantee, but they didn't touch the mower. They had said they would remove 4 bolts, replace them with heavy-duty bolts, add lock washers and locktite and it was a pretty easy fix.

They do not normally carry this mower, but ordered it and delivered it with my tractor. I'm sure they mad a profit on it. Then they have already fixed it once (under warrantee). That time I had to maneuver the tractor back to the edge of the pickup and carefully lower it into the truck. When they fixed it and put it back in the truck for me, it was not in the same position and it took me ½ a day to get it out at home and hooked back up.

I may have to go through that same process tomorrow to take it up where it was today. This mower attachment is like 800 pounds or more and you don’t just lift it and shove it in the truck. When I removed it last time, I used the loader bucket and a chain to lift it out.

I just can’t get a brake. I was hoping to get these weeds cut beginning today. This is another setback and it may be another week for them to get to this thing.

I left them a voicemail message. Perhaps they will feel badly enough that they will stop by and fix it. I don’t think so, but wouldn’t it be a nice gesture?
