Why is my IronCraft Farm Equipment causing streaking conditions in the swath?
- D
  Danielle GarrettAug 26, 2025
  Streaking in the swath when using your IronCraft Farm Equipment can occur if the blades are dull, so sharpen or replace them. Also, if the blades can't cut the grass pressed by the tractor tires, slow the tractor's ground speed while maintaining 540 RPM PTO speed; cutting lower may also help.

  Michael FrenchAug 31, 2025
  If the grass is being cut lower in the center of the swath than at the edge with your IronCraft Farm Equipment, adjust the rotary cutter height and attitude so that the rear and front are within 1/2" of the same height.
