    How to fix irregular stubble with Vicon Farm Equipment?
    • N
      nicoleporterSep 12, 2025
      To correct irregular stubble when using Vicon Farm Equipment, several factors should be checked. Ensure that the blades are not dull or bent by reversing or replacing them. Increase the PTO speed to 540 if it's too low, or slow down if the forward speed is too high. Also, verify that the blades are mounted in the correct rotating direction. If long material is wrapping around the drums, check the PTO rpm. Finally, consider fitting the wide inserts.

    Why does my Vicon KM 2800 Farm Equipment mower make too much noise when switched on?
    • R
      Robert ArmstrongAug 23, 2025
      If your Vicon mower is making excessive noise when switched on, the tractor rpm may not match the mower rpm (540 rpm). Check that the tractor p.t.o rpm matches 540 rpm. Also, the RPM may be too high.

    Why does Vicon KM 2800 machine take too much power?
    • J
      Jodi PrattAug 27, 2025
      If your Vicon Farm Equipment machine is consuming too much power, check the temperature of the boxes and cutter bar, as the oil level may be too high in the cutter bar or gearboxes. Also, check for and remove any rope coiled around the bearing house under the disc, and reduce driving speed if it's too high.

    How to prevent blade breakage in stony areas with Vicon KM 2800?
    • C
      Cassidy WellsAug 28, 2025
      To reduce regular blade breakage and excessive wear in stony areas when using Vicon Farm Equipment, ensure the cutter bar is as level as possible to prevent stones from being thrown into the machine. Try cutting higher using the accessory skids, and consider mounting the heavy-duty blades.

    • B
      Briana McintyreAug 30, 2025
      Waves in the cutting pattern when using Vicon Farm Equipment can be due to excessive speed. Try slowing down. Additionally, the ground pressure may be too low; readjust it to the appropriate level.

    What causes an irregular swath with Vicon KM 2800?
    • A
      Angela TurnerSep 1, 2025
      An irregular swath with Vicon Farm Equipment can result from crop accumulation on the skid; try lowering the PTO speed. If long material becomes wrapped around the drum, increase your driving speed. Also, consider fitting the wide inserts.

    Why is the manual disc rotation stiff on my Vicon KM 2800?
    • A
      Alyssa ScottSep 4, 2025
      If the manual disc rotation runs stiffly on your Vicon Farm Equipment, it could be due to several reasons. The disc guard might be bent upward too steeply, causing the disc to jam; return the disc guard to its correct position. Also, check for and remove any dirt or rope under the discs. Finally, ensure the knife bolt is mounted correctly.

    Why do the blades touch the discs on my Vicon Farm Equipment?
    • D
      Dakota ArmstrongSep 6, 2025
      If the blades are touching the discs on your Vicon Farm Equipment, it may be due to incorrect blade length. Ensure you mount blades of the correct length. Alternatively, the disc timing may be off, so time the discs accordingly.

    Why mowing unit wil not lift in a horizontal way on Vicon Farm Equipment?
    • M
      Maria BakerSep 9, 2025
      If the mowing unit will not lift horizontally on your Vicon Farm Equipment, the ground pressure setting may be unequal on either side. Adjust the springs until the ground pressure is equal. Also, the long coupling shaft may have too high sliding resistance on the LH side of the mowing unit due to dry tubes; grease the tubes of the long coupling shaft.
