I was mowing a flat field with a bush hog when the hitch failed. At the end of a pass, I went to lift the mower with the three-point hitch, but when I looked back, I noticed it was tilted. After dismounting to inspect it, I saw that the left side that was holding the lift arm gear to the bar had come off, causing the failure.
You'd think that if this part failed in under a year, it would be under a manufacturer warranty. Right? I'm told not, but I've had a dealer try and wiggle out of it before so I'm just asking.. thoughts?, What to expect for dealer costs?
Since the hitch wouldn’t stay in place, I detached the mower, left it in the field, and used a chain to secure the lift arm for transport. I then carefully drove the tractor back to the barn.
