I own both Woods BB720X and BB840X rotary cutters.
The 720X operates as it should but the 840X does not like the tail wheel lifting the cutter when traveling through depressions, etc.
Indeed, the "break link" (flexible link at the top of the three point designed to slack the support bars connected to the tail wheel assembly) does not "break." Rather, the support bars bend to provide the needed slack between the top of the three point and the tail wheel assembly (much like a chain would slacken). It makes no difference whether the lift is raised or lowered.
When stationary and with the lift lowered, the break link mechanism is free to "flex" as designed and as does the identical assembly on my BB720X.
The mower is set up per the Woods owners manual.
Anyone experience similar symptoms before and know what can be done?
