I've had no problems with the equipment or the hydraulics but I was mowing some small trees down about three weeks ago and I recall backing into a stump on the right side of the bush hog pretty hard. It caught the right side skid on the front of the bush hog. Anyway, no problems until last week when I was almost done moving those trees I'd cut down with the grapple, when the right side of the bush hog started dragging the ground.
Apparently I bent the pin that holds the lower three point hitch on the right side and it broke after I kept using it. After I looked at the broken pin it was apparent that it was made from cast metal. Not really a surprise but you would think that those pins would be made from something more durable.
Anyway, I broke it so on Monday I sent my dealer in North Carolina an email explaining what I had done and he ordered a new pin, mounting plate that I bent and new bolts and washers from the warehouse in Georgia. It arrived via FedEx on Wednesday! Pretty amazing! So when I get home tomorrow I'll swap those parts out. I thought $151.00 was a bit high for the parts but with the Biden economy, I guess that's just how it is. I'm really impressed with this dealer. But from what I hear, the one in Alabama that I'll be using for service is good too.
