Why is my Titan 1405 Cutter gearbox overheating?
Your Titan Cutter gearbox might be overheating due to several reasons. It could be low on lubricant, so fill it to the level plug. The wrong type of lubricant could also cause overheating; replace it with the proper lubricant. Also, excessive trash build-up around the gearbox can lead to overheating, so remove any trash.
Why does my Titan Cutter have an uneven cut?
An uneven cut with your Titan Cutter can occur for several reasons. You might be operating at an excessive ground speed, so reduce it. Worn, dull, or bent blades can also cause this, so replace them. Check if the mower is level side-to-side and adjust if necessary. Improper height adjustment can also lead to an uneven cut, so adjust the rotary cutter height. Low tractor tire pressure on one side, turning too fast, tractor tires pushing grass down, or a damaged cutter pan can also be responsible. Adjust tire pressure, reduce ground speed when turning, adjust your tractor wheel spacing, or repair/replace the cutter pan, respectively.
What causes excessive vibration in my Titan 1405?
Excessive vibration in your Titan Cutter can be caused by blades that are not free to swing; check the bushing and blade movement. Another cause could be blades that are out of balance, so inspect them for damage or replace them.
What causes streaking conditions in the swath of my Titan 1405 Cutter?
Streaking in the swath of your Titan Cutter can occur if the blades are dull, so sharpen or replace them. It may also happen if the blades cannot cut the grass pressed down by the tractor tires, in which case you should slow the tractor's ground speed while maintaining 540 RPM PTO speed; cutting lower may also help. Wet conditions can also contribute, so allow the grass to dry before mowing.
Why is my Titan 1405 gearbox leaking?
A leaking gearbox on your Titan Cutter could be due to several reasons. A damaged oil seal could be the culprit, so replace it. A bent shaft can also cause leaks, requiring you to replace the gearbox. If the oil seal isn't properly sealing in the housing, replace the seal or use a sealant on the O.D. of the seal. An oil level that's too high should be drained to the proper level. A damaged gasket should be replaced, and any loose bolts should be tightened.
Why is my Titan Cutter gearbox noisy?
A noisy gearbox in your Titan Cutter could be due to a low lubricant level, so add grease. Rough gears can also cause noise; try to run in or replace the gearbox. A worn bearing could also be the issue, in which case you should replace the gearbox.
Why does the shear pin shear excessively on my Titan 1405 Cutter?
Excessive shearing of the shear pin on your Titan Cutter can be caused by operating the tractor PTO at speeds other than 540 RPM, so maintain the correct speed. Heavy material can also cause this, so reduce ground speed and raise the cutting height. Ensure you are using the proper bolt; replace only with the recommended shear bolt. Engaging the PTO at high engine RPM can also lead to shearing, so engage it at low engine RPM. Cutting in rocky conditions may cause this, so increase the cutting height. High blade carrier RPM can also be a factor, so maintain 540 RPM PTO speed.
What to do if my Titan 1405 Cutter will not cut all the time?
If your Titan Cutter isn't cutting consistently and it uses a slip clutch drive, the slip clutch might be slipping and require adjustment. Alternatively, the clutch facing might be burnt or damaged, requiring rework or replacement.
How to fix windrowing with my Titan 1405?
If you are experiencing windrowing with your Titan Cutter, it could be due to heavy and lush material; raise the front of the rotary cutter relative to the rear. Excessive ground speed can also cause this, so reduce it. Wet conditions can also contribute, so wait for the conditions to dry and reduce ground speed.
Why are the blade bolts working loose on my Titan Cutter?
If the blade bolts on your Titan Cutter are working loose, it could be because they weren't tightened properly, so ensure they are tightened. An elongated or oversized bolt hole can also cause this, requiring you to replace the blade carrier. A broken lockwasher should also be replaced.
