Maintenance Tips

Regularly Inspect Blades: Check blades for wear, damage, and sharpness. Sharpen or replace blades as needed to maintain optimal cutting performance. Modern recommends inspecting blades every 25 hours of use, or more frequently in harsh conditions.
Grease Moving Parts: Lubricate all grease fittings according to the Modern owner's manual. This includes the gearbox, driveline, and any other moving components. Use a high-quality lithium-based grease. Grease every 8 hours of operation.
Check Gearbox Oil Level: Regularly check the gearbox oil level and top off as needed with the proper SAE 90 gear oil specified by Modern. Change the gearbox oil annually or every 200 hours of operation, whichever comes first.
Inspect Driveline Shielding: Ensure the driveline shielding is in good condition and properly secured. Replace any damaged or missing shields immediately to prevent accidents.
Seasonal Maintenance: Before storing your Modern rotary cutter for the off-season, thoroughly clean it, inspect for any damage, and lubricate all moving parts. Consider using genuine Modern parts for critical components to ensure long-term reliability.
