If the blade bolts on your RHINO Lawn Mower are working loose, it could be because they were not tightened enough initially; tighten them to 300 ft./lbs. If the bolt hole is elongated or oversized, replace the blade carrier. A worn-out locknut can also cause this issue, so replace the locknut if necessary.
Why is my RHINO 160 Lawn Mower cutting unevenly?
An uneven cut from your RHINO Lawn Mower can stem from several factors. It could be due to excessive ground speed, so try reducing it. The blades might be worn, dull, or bent, in which case they should be replaced. Ensure the mower is level from side to side and that the height is properly adjusted. Low tractor tire pressure on one side, turning too fast, tractor tires pushing grass down, or a damaged mower pan can also contribute to an uneven cut. Adjust tire pressure, reduce ground speed when turning, adjust your tractor wheel spacing, or repair/replace the mower pan as needed.
What to do if the shear pin keeps shearing on my RHINO 160?
If the shear pin on your RHINO Lawn Mower keeps shearing, several factors could be the cause. Ensure the tractor PTO is running at 540 RPM and reduce ground speed if you're cutting heavy material. Raising the cutting height may also help. Make sure you are using the recommended shear pin for replacement. Avoid engaging the PTO at high engine RPM; instead, idle the engine. If you are cutting in rocky conditions, increase the cutting height. Also, check the gearbox ratios if the blade carrier RPM is too high. If the blades are not properly heat treated, consult your dealer.
