farm king mower build up

[laurencen]

Hi, can anyone advise whats happening, I have a farm king 5 foot finishing mower behind a CK20, after cutting grass the mower is building up crud to the point if I stop the mower, leave it sit a wile the PTO will not dru the mower its plugged up, couple of thaughts, the grass is quite thin and the soil is sandy clay so lots of dust, the mower is set quite high due to the land, Buhler who makes the mower has low lift blades available for this mower, any recomendations what to try and by the way, water will not remove the crud it needs a scraper or let dry it will peel off

So, last couple days spent scraping the underside, the new blades have arrived, got some spray and if this rain stops will try it out, this dried crud is like concrete,
