Curious too if the other side was the same way? Or if the cutter was just shifted all the way right for some reason?

Tail wheel = the rear wheel on your rotary cutter
Yes, you are correct, the pin is in the hole for the widest position, but at the end of the arm, where it attaches to the axle of the tractor, there may (or may not) be an optional hole so you can shorten the arm. If you can shorten the arm there, you can utilize the other adjustable stabilizer arm positions and make it easier to get the bush hog off

How big is the cutter? It might have a CAT 2 3 point (wider width at the mount) with CAT 1 pins on it. My XG3025 has at least 6 inches of side to side adjustability (4+ inches of travel on the stabilizers) . I would move the pins on the mower to face inboard.

From the pic, you didn’t take the stabilizer bar pin out.

So that means you figured out how to pull the stabilizer pins on BOTH sides to make the lower links as wide as possible?
Sometimes I use a bar or steel fence post for leverage to help align the implement.
It will get easier with practice.
