    Why does my Spearhead Twiga have excessive belt wear?
    • A
      Amanda Coleman MDJul 28, 2025
      Excessive belt wear on your Spearhead Lawn Mower can be due to several reasons. The belt or pulley might be damaged and need replacement. The pulley alignment could be off, so check that. Incorrect belt tension can also cause this, so tension the belts to the specified level. Finally, overloading the implement can lead to excessive wear; try reducing forward speed or increasing the height of cut.

    What to do about P.T.O. wear UJ failure in Spearhead Twiga?
    • C
      Carlos CunninghamAug 22, 2025
      P.T.O. wear and UJ failure in your Spearhead Lawn Mower can be caused by a working angle that is too great; reduce the offset of implements to correct this. Another cause is an incorrect shaft length, potentially bottoming out; resize the PTO shaft as recommended. Finally, a lack of maintenance can lead to failure; grease the PTO shaft as recommended.
