Check the following: excessive ground speed (reduce it), worn, dull, or bent blades (replace them), mower not level side to side (adjust it), improper height adjustment (adjust the mower height), low tractor tire pressure on one side (adjust tire pressure), turning too fast (reduce ground speed when turning), tractor tires pushing grass down (adjust your tractor wheel spacing), or a damaged mower pan (repair or replace as necessary).

      If the gearbox on your RHINO Lawn Mower is overheating, the issue might be due to several reasons. First, check if the lubricant level is low and fill to the level plug. If the lubricant is of an improper type, replace it with the proper lubricant. Also, remove any excessive trash build-up around the gearbox. If the problem persists, it could be due to improperly set up bearings or gears.

      Charles StoneAug 26, 2025
      If your RHINO Lawn Mower is leaving uncut material, it could be due to excessive ground speed (reduce ground speed), RPM too low (use full PTO speed), or an improper blade for the direction of cut (install blades so the rotation is correct).

    Why does the shear pin keep shearing on my RHINO Lawn Mower?
    • C
      Craig GonzalesAug 28, 2025
      If the shear pin on your RHINO Lawn Mower keeps shearing, possible causes include: the tractor PTO not being run at 540 RPM (run at 540 RPM), heavy material (reduce ground speed), not using the proper pin (replace only with recommended shear pin), PTO engaged at high engine RPM (idle engine to engage PTO), or cutting in rocky conditions (increase cutting height). It could also be due to blade carrier RPM being too high (check gearbox ratios).

    What to do if my RHINO Lawn Mower is leaving streaks?
    • I
      iochoaSep 4, 2025
      If your RHINO Lawn Mower is leaving streaks, it could be due to conditions being too wet for cutting (allow grass to dry before cutting), slow blades unable to cut that part of ground speed of tractor but keep grass pressed down by path of engine running at full PTO wpm (lowering the cutting height may help), dull blades (sharpen or replace blades), or height of cutter lower at rear or front (see Cutting Height Instructions).
