Hi All,
I mowed again with my Raptor SD 54 last night. On the first mow last week, even going slow, I clogged the discharge a half dozen times. Last night was more of the same, it stops discharging. I shut it down and pull out a brick of grass right at the base of the chute, where it hangs over the right blade. Fire it up and off we go until it clogs again. On the 3rd clog 1/2 way through the yard I tried something and lifted the chute up just 3-4" or so with a bungee so it is level or slightly up instead of pointing down. no more clogging. I think the grass coming off the partially exposed right blade goes straight up and hits the chute, sticks there, and then becomes a barrier to anything getting past it and out. I need to figure out some sort of operator controlled chute mechanism.
On another topic, Where have loose bolts been found? when putting the machine away I heard some rattling that I will have to chase down.
