[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1632712, member: 27848"] I agree, especially when it's hot and dry. I raise my lawn mower up to 2 ½ to 3" height range. Which brings me to the design of both cutters. I never had a disc. But I have looked at them and both types of machines "apparently" run with the drums/support beam riding on the ground. The Turkish made drum, my first, has a 1" spacer that gets you up to about 3" of stubble on soft stems whereas the current one only goes up to 1 ½ with the spacer. I don't know about the new one as I don't have a spacer installed but the earlier one was a reliability problem with the spacer installed. I attributed my problem to the mounting design of the stump jumper to the drive shaft and the effect the spacer has on it which caused me to have to buy another cutter as I couldn't fix the thing myself (working alone) due to the weight and awkwardness of having to be 2 places simultaneously.
