Features of the operation of rotary Polish mowers
Polish rotary mowers, as mentioned earlier, do an excellent job with their main job – mowing the grass surface over large areas of the area. But in order for this to last as long as possible and the operation of the mower was stable, it is necessary to follow some rules that can significantly increase the service life of a single unit.
It is clear that the Russian person is not used to relying on pieces of paper, and he himself knows everything and knows how, but this is still not the case where one can treat the matter so naively. After all, not only the quality of the work performed, but also the safety of you and the people around you will depend on whether you correctly assemble the Polish rotary mower.
After the product is assembled and ready for use, you need to study all safety precautions from start to finish. This is no less important stage than the assembly of the unit, because in the design of the Polish rotary mower there are cutting elements, from which almost anyone who is in the immediate vicinity of the operating unit can suffer.
Next, you need to install the assembled unit in the correct position, i.E. So that the discs with cutting elements are parallel to the ground. Then, the main frame of the device is installed strictly perpendicular to the axis of the tractor.
In operation, the Polish rotary mower, the device of which we described earlier, does not present any special difficulties. You just need to follow certain measures and manipulations, including:
Check the cutting system regularly, consisting of knives, for grinding and wear. If necessary, they can either be sharpened on the machine or replaced with new ones.
It is important to monitor the condition of the belts, whether they are punctured or cut, and whether they are properly tensioned. If you are still not familiar with lawn mower belts, please click here.
By observing these simple steps, you can significantly extend the service life of Polish rotary mowers, and also avoid possible breakdowns, which may be completely inappropriate, especially at the height of the summer season.

When mowing, the grass is laid in swaths for the convenience of further processing. The mower is equipped with a protective cover and a cardan shaft.
“Yesterday I mowed a Virax 1.35 with a mower on DF244. Mowed about 1.5 hectares per day. An unfamiliar field, weeds, hogweed under 2 meters high, in some places it was higher than the cabin. I mowed on the 3rd lowered one, on the 4th lowered tractor it was hard, apparently because of the thick heavy grass.
1. I confirm the recommendation to put the knives with the ground side up. So /-\. Less wear on the knife. Only 2 knives per 1 plate, not 4. Move knives from one plate to another. They start working with the other cutting edge.
2. Protection rag interferes. I whipped up a frame, and a cover from the banner on it. Interferes, nifiga is not visible what is happening, and contributes to the stuffing of thick grass between the drums. I understood this only by the black smoke from the chimney. I took off the cover, it’s good that I didn’t buy it.
3. On tall grass and an unfamiliar field, it is convenient to mow the first passes with the frontal. We lower it down, the bucket is as far as possible, we crush the grass, if there are obstacles. Immediately felt. Then we drive in circles along the newly cut lane. 4. Anthills, grass-earthen stumps from prairie dogs came across. Blows away. Bushes, birch shoots 1.5-2 centimeters in diameter. Cuts without noticing.
5. The protection against obstacles (spring) must be tightened by 5 centimeters from the maximum free position. Otherwise it is often read off on small irregularities in the field.
6. I was glad that I took the DF with the cabin. It will be very inconvenient to mow without a cabin, clumps of grass fly from the mower, and a lot of midges rise.
7. It is imperative to accelerate the mower in neutral gear, smoothly, and then start off. "
“I also mowed 1.5 hectares, under the same conditions, but did not notice any difference in wear. But sod and anthills noticed her. The anthills are still somehow not very good, they mostly fly back, but as soon as the knife reaches the ground, the fountains hit above the roof, in fact, on the roof there is the same layer of dirt as on the mower. He even manages to throw up the hood. "
“I hooked on the head and went to test it. I didn’t mow a lot 50 meters there and 50 meters back I wanted to mow even more but the time is 22.30, the impressions are generally positive. Minus, if you drive on a flat road, it seems to be normal, and if on bumps, it’s hard, of course, but I don’t have any cargo ahead, I have not installed them yet. You will have to rearrange the wheel, because you have to drive along the edge of the roll, you wagged a little and you run into the roll. Pluses it works quietly, the tractor does not shake as if from a segmented one, everything is perfectly cleared out by an anthill, not a hindrance, a perennial stubble cuts everything through, a segmented one could not mow an uneven place. I didn’t feel the load on the first pipe, but the drums were spinning a decent load on the internal combustion engine. "

“A segment mower was brought to me by a friend from Poland for 100 at that time 800 UAH, after I went through everything in it completely, she mowed well, but she wants a flat field and standing grass, she is very afraid of getting the ground on the cutter bar, worked it for two seasons and sold it for 350 , after that I bought myself a new rotary mower and forgot about all the problems associated with irregularities, soil from dug up moles, lush grass, etc. If there is an opportunity it is better to collect money and take a rotary one at once, I recommend it.

For about an hour I was washing a tractor with a mower. By the way, it turned out to be a good example of what protection is needed for. ”“ I hooked a bug and went to test it.
