    Why Woods BATWING BW15.60 Cutter does not cut?

      Your Woods Cutter might not be cutting due to several reasons. The blades could be dull, in which case you should sharpen them. Alternatively, the blades may be worn or broken, requiring replacement in pairs. Ensure the PTO speed is set correctly. If the ground speed is too fast, reduce it. Also, verify the drive shaft connection and check the gearbox for any malfunctions. Repair the gearbox if there's excessive clutch slippage. Lastly, confirm the blade edge is correct for the direction of rotation.

      If your Woods Cutter is leaving streaks or a ragged cut, it could be due to broken or worn blades, which you should replace or sharpen. Also, make sure to level the machine and reduce ground speed. Lower the cutting height, being careful not to let the blades frequently hit the ground. If you're cutting excessive lush and tall vegetation, recut at a 90° angle to the first pass.

      Jacob FernandezAug 20, 2025
      Excessive clutch slippage in your Woods Cutter can be caused by a clutch that is out of adjustment, which requires adjusting the clutch. It could also be that the clutch discs are worn and need replacement. Another cause may be blades hitting the ground, so raise the cutting height.

    Why Woods BATWING BW15.60 has vibration?

      Jennifer HerreraAug 25, 2025
      Vibration in your Woods Cutter can stem from a broken blade, so replace blades in pairs. It may also be caused by bearing failure, so check gearbox shafts for side play. Reset the hitch length if it's incorrect. If it is a universal drive, adjust the pedestal bearing height to be parallel to the ground.

      If your Woods Cutter is experiencing excessive side skid wear, it's likely because you are running with the skids continuously on the ground. To resolve this, raise the cutting height or adjust.

    Why Woods Cutter unit doesn’t cut level?
    • K
      Kevin SheltonSep 8, 2025
      If your Woods Cutter unit isn’t cutting level, it could be because the wing section cuts lower than the center. Lengthen the turnbuckle connecting the center yoke to the wing wheel yoke. Alternatively, if the wing section cuts higher than the center, shorten the turnbuckle connecting the center yoke to the wing wheel yoke.
