    What to do if my Woods Batwing BW240 Cutter does not cut?
    • C
      Cody WilliamsAug 12, 2025
      If your Woods Cutter is not cutting, there could be several reasons: * The blades may be dull, in which case you should sharpen them. * The blades may be worn or broken, so replace them (always replace in pairs). * The PTO speed may be incorrect, so set it to the rated speed. * The ground speed may be too fast, so reduce it. * The drive may not be functioning, meaning the blades don't turn when the PTO is running, so check the drive shaft connection. * There may be a gearbox malfunction, so check the gearbox. * There may be excessive clutch slippage, so repair the gearbox. * The blade direction may be incorrect, so adjust the clutch.

      Streaks or a ragged cut from your Woods Cutter can occur due to several factors: * Blades may be broken or worn, in which case you should replace or sharpen them. * The attitude may be incorrect, so level the machine. * Ground speed may be too fast, so reduce it. * The cutting height may be excessive, so lower it, ensuring blades don't frequently hit the ground. * There may be excessive lush and tall vegetation, so recut at 90° to the first pass.

      Anna VelezAug 20, 2025
      Vibration in your Woods Cutter can be attributed to: * A broken blade, so replace the blades in pairs. * Bearing failure, so check gearbox shafts for side play. * Incorrect hitch length, so reset the hitch length. * Universal drive, so adjust the pedestal bearing height to be parallel to the ground.

      Terry FoxAug 23, 2025
      Excessive clutch slippage in your Woods Cutter may be due to: * The clutch being out of adjustment, so adjust it. * Worn clutch discs, meaning wear stops are not contacting the opposite plate, so replace the discs. * Blades hitting the ground, so raise the cutting height.

      If your Woods Cutter isn’t cutting level: * If the wing section cuts lower than the center, lengthen the turnbuckle connecting the center yoke to the wing wheel yoke. * If the wing section cuts higher than the center, shorten the turnbuckle connecting the center yoke to the wing wheel yoke.

      Excessive side skid wear on your Woods Cutter is likely caused by running with the skids continuously on the ground. To resolve this, raise the cutting height or adjust the skids.
