Your 3 point hitch controls are not working correctly. The control should allow for precise precision position of the height anywhere from fully raised to fully lowered. This may be due to the way your draft control is set, or it could be some other deeper issue.
The 3 point hitch control should consist of two controls, position, and draft. The draft control will have settings ranging from light to heavy. For mowing you should have the draft setting at the lightest, IMHO.
I highly recommend you get an owner's manual for the tractor. It will have instructions on how to operate the hitch, as they are all not the same. There are places online that sell reprints, and you stand a good chance of finding an original on ebay. It is money well spent.
Another issue is the angle of your mower. When you lower it to the ground it must be going nose-low in order to dig in. You can adjust the top link to change that.
