- Thanks to a couple of comments on my other videos, I was inspired to install my own "stay chains" on the 2N. The tractor does not have accurate position control, and I needed the deck height just a few inches off the ground for mowing my thick fields. This mod did the trick. I also have room to adjust the brush hog lower for a tighter pass.
Thanks again for those who made this suggestion. And, maybe this video will help somebody else out there with the same issue.
On my 8N, I had a couple of flat plates that fit on either side of the top link-they each had a "keyhole" cut in them-you would pull the chain through the upper part of the keyhole, and when you got the right length, you turned the chain sideways and dropped a link into the lower slot of the keyhole, locking it in place-worked real well for setting whatever height you wanted.
My Fergie would leak down the cutter, so I mounted a couple of chain hooks on it, put chains on the front of the cutter, set it and chained the cutter to the tractor. It worked quite well. I was surprised at the mowing power of the old tractor.
The old girl needs sway bars to stabilize motion from side to side,but did a good job. I own a 39 9N.
To make attaching implements easier, you should install a set of PATS quick change hooks. Then all you have to worry about is your top link.
Thank you, it helped and I purchased my stay chains. I have 8 acres to tame and I can now do it. Thanks for showing your setup. I believe that one will work for me. Oh ya I am on a Ford 600. :D its nice and I can work on it :D No computers needed lol
Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching!
What lengths haft you running on there?
Extend the top link to regulate the front height of the bush hog. No need for chains.
Scary to me. I have 100's of hours bush-hogging with the Ford 8N. The most important factors were the sway-bars (which you don't have installed) and the over-running clutch on the PTO shaft (which it appears you don't have). Level can be controlled with the height of the rear wheel and adjustment of the 3-point attaching bar. The over-running clutch will save your life. I'd advise checking Tractor Supply real soon.
Good advice. Thank you.
Hope you have a overriding clutch on pro
Can’t spell should be pro
Phone needs to learn how to spell PTO
Yes, some folks swear by those but I have not had any problems at all. I guess I'll look into it and consider. Thanks.
On that type of tractor with a brush hog, please don’t use that type of top link. It is dangerous. If you hit something with the mower, it can violently kick upwards from the back and shove the top link through the casting and into the driver. Can cause a very serious injury. Simply use a chain for a top link.
