Read articles →This is a real-world field video, not a spec review: an owner uses his new Vermeer M5050 disc mower with a Kubota M6060 for the first time cutting hay, then discovers a driveshaft-linkage crossbar was assembled wrong at pickup, nearly causing damage. He walks through diagnosing and correcting the connection rod setup in the shop. Most useful for M6060/M5050 owners wanting a specific setup troubleshooting tip, not a buying overview.
An owner-operator sharing unscripted, hands-on experience from actual hay cutting on his own equipment.
The connection rod's crossbar was installed on the wrong side, so it had no stop and could twist up into the driveshaft when the mower was raised.
The piece on the connection rod needs to go on the left side of the mower and catch under the plate so it cannot twist either way.
Keep it sitting fairly level; on rough ground, pitch it back slightly so the front is a bit higher to save the teeth.
