  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.

  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.

Why is the manual disc rotation stiff on my Vicon KM 4000 Farm Equipment?
- A
  Amy NolanSep 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.

- A

  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 KM 4000?
- W
  Walter BellSep 8, 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.
