You will want at least 35 hp. I have a compact Bobcat CT 235 for my 3 acres. I have the wide GP tires on it. I used it for haying, running a full size Heston inline baler and other hay equipment. Yep it was marginal on power, but got the job done. Its hydro-static. I started out using it for...

@lazaroo I have a Bobcat CT235 (35 hp) and run this unit Maschio Giraffetta 160SE Flail Mower (this is an offsetting ditch bank mower) It has been a good match. Zero issues over the years I have had it. Somewhere here I have a thread of what I went through to choose it. Leon was a grate help...

I just went through this exhausting search. I have a Craftsman 54" deck POS the does not cut well and it started to act up (Kohler engine) Its a repainted Huskavarna. I first went to the Big Box stores and checked out the zero turns. Non of the seat felt comfortable. So I steeped up and looked...

Its been a while so I thought I would update. I switched form the sickle mower to a PZ170 drum mower. Cuts better in the wind and does some conditioning. It does take longer as it is not as wide. I also now have a Kabota rotary rake - what an upgrade from the side roller. However I am now done...

Leon is very correct in his tips. I learned form him years ago when I first got my Maschio Giraffetta 160SE Flail Mower (this is an offsetting ditch bank mower) It does max out my tractor in full offset bank mode. Its best cutting position is offset just outside the tire - cutting like you do...

I found a metric bolt in my spares. Head was marked 10.6 fine thread and it worked. So folks know there is a capture nut welded to the back side of the plate the peddle is attached to.

I lot a bolt out of the go peddle so it no workee - just flops front to back. I am pretty sure it is metric. Its bolt #4 in the attachment. Dealer has one, but I am sure I have one in my bolt collection. Just trying to save time. Thanks Title: HST Control 2 Group Model Number: CT235 Serial...

I just noticed a bunch of crud or something inside the bearing in your photo. Might take a good look to see what is it.

Have your tried State Farm - they do loans on about everything.

Quality, dependable, American-made equipment. - Rowse Rakes These folks are great if you have an IH sickle mower. On my 1300 unit the head works where the PTO attaches to the drive pulley was making a lot of noise last year, so I parked it. I knew it was the bearings due to noise location and...

Greetings folks - I hope everyone is healthy and safe. Due to various reasons I have put off installing my BHT-2 monitor on my inline baler. I now have time, so am cleaning it up to get ready for the install. The Instructions say to have one sensor on the cut side which is the bottom of the...

Has anyone got one or know where to get one? My hands are getting iffy sometimes pushing back the big collar to connect or particularly disconnect hydraulic lines. And before folks ask, Yes I have relieved all the pressure Years ago I saw one at a farm show that looked like a set of oversized...

Sharpened my Maschio Giraffetta hammer flails the other day using my hand held grinder. I kept the bottom flat and put a 45 bevel top side. I was very careful not to get them too hot. I also replaced two hammer after I had sharpened the rest. I am not sure but the new knives appeared to have a...
