What is your technique to torque all the cutting teeth? Initially it was a pain in the butt, and I feel like I should check them again after a few hours use.
With the grinder mounted to the tractor, I basically set the flywheel down on a 2x4, and wrenched it over to the side and torqued all the bolts I could reach in that position. Started the tractor, lifted the flywheel, rotated it with my foot, set it down and repeated. I marked each completed bolt with a sharpie (it was new, so now will just clean the debris off to tell which are done) and did that for a few rotations. It seemed harder than it should have.
Is there an easier way?
