I have been working to clear my fathers property in VA.... overgrown for a couple years... really putting the bush hog to the test. Last week, the whole 3pt system basically failed...had to order parts from McMaster.
Got to looking at it, I don't think the lift arms and the bush hog attachments were ever setup correctly from the dealer. Moved the arms to the front mount, leveled out the top line and everything seems much happier.
Before and after below. I managed 5 acres last night without issues.
