      Scott SantanaAug 17, 2025
      If the belt on your Woods Farm Equipment is breaking, it could be due to high shock loads. Avoid abusive mowing and hitting the ground or large obstructions. It could also be because the belt came off the drive. Check the pulleys for foreign material in the grooves and avoid hitting solid objects or the ground.

    Why is my Woods TURFKEEPER TK60.20 belt squealing?
    • A
      Angel CarsonAug 21, 2025
      If the Woods Farm Equipment mower is overloading due to tall or heavy material, reduce the tractor's ground speed while maintaining full PTO RPM. Alternatively, cut the material twice: first with a high pass, then mow at the desired height, cutting at a 90-degree angle to the first pass. If the belt has oil on it, avoid over-lubricating. Clean any lubricant from the belt and pulleys with a clean rag and replace the oil-soaked belt. If the belt is hung up or rubbing, check its position in the pulleys and idlers, ensuring free travel. Inspect under the mower and around the blade spindle shaft for any obstructions like wire or rags, and clean them away. If there is a bearing failure, check that the spindles turn freely and replace any that do not.

    How to fix streaking conditions in Woods TURFKEEPER TK60.20 swath?
    • W
      William CainAug 25, 2025
      When using Woods Farm Equipment and experiencing streaking conditions in the swath, first ensure the grass is dry before mowing. If the grass is wet, allow it to dry. Reduce the tractor's ground speed while keeping the engine running at full PTO RPM. Lowering the cutting height may also help. If possible, adjust the tractor tire spacing. If the blades are dull, sharpen or replace them. Also, check the blade hardware if the blade is loose.

    What to do if Woods TURFKEEPER TK60.20 Farm Equipment discharges material unevenly?
    • C
      Crystal MckayAug 28, 2025
      If the Woods Farm Equipment is discharging material unevenly, resulting in bunches along the swath, it could be due to the material being too high and too much of it. Reduce ground speed while maintaining 540 RPM at the tractor PTO, or make two passes over the material. For the first pass, raise the mower, and for the second, lower it, cutting at a 90-degree angle to the first pass. Raise the rear of the mower high enough to allow material discharge, but not so high as to cause other issues. Also, if the grass is wet, allow it to dry before mowing and slow down the tractor's ground speed while keeping the engine running at full PTO RPM.

    How to fix Woods TURFKEEPER TK60.20 Farm Equipment cutting higher in center?
    • G
      George BarrettSep 1, 2025
      If your Woods Farm Equipment cuts grass higher in the center of the swath than at the edge, adjust the mower height so that the rear and front are within 1/2 inch of the same height. Also, check the blade hardware if the blade is loose.

    Why does my Woods Farm Equipment have frayed edges on the belt cover?
    • M
      Megan ButlerSep 9, 2025
      If the belt cover on your Woods Farm Equipment has frayed edges, it may be due to a misaligned belt. Re-align the belt, ensuring it does not rub against any other part while running. Alternatively, the pulley might be misaligned. Inspect to ensure the belt runs in the center of the backside idler, and shim the idler as necessary to achieve alignment.
