Nice video. I just got one of these a week ago. Had to cut 9 inchs off the pto shaft. Went through set up just like you. Only did a test run worked great!
I just got the 325 and I saw a video of a guy complaint about the PTO noise I also do mine like the manual said which is the same as yours and mine ran smooth as well.
I really like your videos. I am also have a yanmar tractor sa-424 which is a 24hp engine. I need to get a brush hog and dealer told me to use a 4 ft brush hog. He said a 5 ft would be straining the engine? But your 5 ft seems to work
I have about the same mower except the back of mine isn't rounded. The top link on mine is made different. When I turn on the PTO it is at idle and then I bring the throttle up to speed. On mine I had to put the lower pins on and when I did i didn't have the right socket to tighten it. I had one vibrate loose. So i bought a socket and used blue loctite with impact gun. I seen a video where the guy using it that bolt fell off and he then had a issue. I would think that you really don't have enough horsepower at the PTO, since all tractors loose horsepower from what the tractor has.
This may seem like a dumb question but we are learning (just got a new 39hp tractor) we couldn't afford the $3000 towards the tractor brand bush hog but we learned (after wed already made the purchase) that we couldn't put any ole bush hog on it, needs to have a slip clutch. We are looking hard at this bush hog but can't find any info about it, does it come with a slip clutch? Thanks for the video!
I like it, no issues. I don't abuse it but I am HARD on it, I don't baby it. I take out trees with this thing. Check out some of my videos in my "Tractor" playlist.

Good Job! good info.
Keep bucket lowered to help push down plus make sure you do 50hr service on these tractors! I just did mine oil thin and dirty!
Check out my videos on this tractor and my other tractors and equipment.
Thanks for the details and no bs video….picking up a 5ft today, they’re on sale…yay!
Glad to see that it will turn a 5 foot cutter with no problem. I have a 4 footer I’ll be using with my SA325.
I just did 3ft fields with 5' no issues, same tractor
That rotary cutter does an excellent job.
It does a nice job.
I also read my sa425 manual and use the same procedure. I’m new to tractors.

Doesn’t look like that cutter is equipped with a pivot for the top link??
It is equipped with a pivot 👍🏿.

You want a slip clutch or a shear pin/bolt setup. This brush hog uses a shear bolt.
@@97TRAKIN Thank You So Much for your help!! I'll pass that important info along to my Husband. Thanks again!:)
One year later how do you still like it?
I like it, no issues. I don't abuse it but I am HARD on it, I don't baby it. I take out trees with this thing. Check out some of my videos in my "Tractor" playlist.
Is that a 25 hp trackor?
Yes it is a 25hp tractor. It is the Yanmar SA324.
I also run this rotary cutter behind my John Deere LV4010 which has 19hp.
