The outside swath board is not providing enough of a separation between cut and uncut hay. That will cause the hay to catch and build up on the skid shoe at the main gear box. Adjust your outer swath board to help provide a wider separation between cut and uncut hay. Sometimes in thick hay it is hard to get that separation. I tend to line the gear box skid shoe up as close to the outer edge of the rear tire. This allows me to line the skid up with where the outer swath board ran on the next cut to hel keep the hay from balling up on it. The tire also helps flatten it out some to where the shoe rides over it better.

By the way I have cut hay since I was eleven and raised cattle since I was fourteen. I will be 42 this year.

Hey Jesse, I appreciate the advice. After some seat time with the mower I did figure out that lining up the rear tire with the inside disc and keeping it as far as possible from the already cut helped a lot. But as far as the outer swath board my mower doesn’t have one. It just has the taller disc hub that is supposed to help with that. We’ll be mowing again here shortly:)
