    Sorry for not being able to post sooner. It's the busy time of year on the farm. I took a look and I don't have the adjustment shown in the picture. Had a mechanic come over and look at it.

    Bush hog speed .

    No you don't have to run it at 540. I actually try to stay off of 540 if I can. I was able to mow some grass today in high 1st with the motor rpm running in the range of 2000-2200. At 2200 rpm I was running 530 on the PTO.

    3 Pt. Lift arm height

    I have a M6800 and the 3 point lift arms want raise high enough. With most or all the attachments I use they are touching the ground at full lift height. I have adjusted all the length at the bottom of the arms (threaded part). Is there any other adjustments to help with the height?

    Bush hog speed .

    When I bush hog I run a 10ft. offset bush hog. I pull it with a M6800. In tall grass I run it around 2000 rpm in Low 3rd. In shorter grass I run it in low 4th around 1800-2000 rpm. Very seldom do I run the PTO at 540 rpm.
