  If your Woods Farm Equipment is not cutting, several factors could be responsible. The blades may be dull, requiring sharpening, or they might be worn or broken, necessitating replacement (always replace in pairs). Ensure the PTO speed is set correctly and reduce your ground speed. Check the drive shaft connection and the gearbox for any malfunctions. Excessive clutch slippage can also prevent cutting, requiring gearbox repair. Finally, verify that the blade edge is correct for the direction of rotation.
