mower

These are killer rubbers https://www.amazon.com/MARASTAR-20808-Traction-20x8-00-8-Riding/dp/B08MKW95N1 Usually around $55 each. Sort of an R14 for mowers, combination Turf and Ag tread. Eliminated my need for chains entirely for anything I do on slopes and wet grass and soft turf. Put...

Does anyone have any experience with the Mahindra 1100 series? I'm seeing what I think are a few descent prices on left over 2024 models around $19k without the snow blower. BUT.... I'm starting to see some people having belly mower issues on other forums.

I have a 2017 ls mt 125 with loader back hoe and belly mower. All implements work great except...the belly mower. It will spool up and mow a few passes then strat to slow down and eventually stop spinning. If it sits for a while and cools down it will start again but again only a few passes or...

I'm thinking of getting a short sickle bar mower for my SS to mow under rail fences etc. Anybody have an experience with these? The good and bad? My Bob Cat 773.

When I bought my Exmark mower I went with the standard non adjustable spring loaded seat. After using for a season I thought the spring loaded seat would be better so I bought one and installed it. My question now is, since I weigh 172 lbs. what setting on the adjustable scale should I use? A...

I have this Kohler Courage 26hp (SV735) twin engine and noticing oily residue up around the aircleaner box by the carb, the front of the carb, under the carb at solenoid and directly below it. Stupid question but: What would cause this? Engine is NOT overfilled with oil. Valves are set...

Just saw a pop up ad for an Altoz mower. If the tracks limit the sliding associated with a ZTR, this company may be onto something? I have a lot of slopes on my property that will take your breath away. I have thought about trying those lugged tires like Dixie Chopper used on my Scag.

The BCRL-155 flail mower I ordered has been shipped, so I am trying to get ready. The manual says the mower ships dry. I don't know if that means they don't even include a jug of fluid on the pallet or what, so I sent an email. Even if they send something along, I am concerned it will be used...

Has anyone seen one of these things? A guy on Marketplace is selling one for $800. Seems like a pretty good deal!! He has a video of it cutting small tree branches overhanging his road and it looks like it will do some work. Any idea what sort of GPM it would need? DOes not look like it is...

Is there any way to make this mower spread the clippings more evenly rather than windrowing? Cutting height and height of grass makes no difference. Getting to the point that I'm considering selling and buying something more efficient. There again, if I decide to sell, can you make some...

I have a KK FM-60. I’m in the process of rebuilding my spindles. My original spindles have a wave spring washer on each bearing, but one is broken. I’m assuming it was over tightened, which probably led to it failing. All of the bearing kits I see don’t come with the wave spring washer. I’m...

I hope someone here recognizes this mower, because I've internet searched for an hour now and I'm coming up blank. If anyone knows, that will be amazing, but any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Here's some pics:

I am wondering if I need to add front weights to a JD 5050E (2wd, no loader) to pull anything. I understand that the max weight on the 3pt hitch is 3200lbs, but what is the weight at which the front wheels might start to lift? I’m interested in mowing hay with an R200 disc mower (1000lbs.). Is...

I've got a Kioti CK2610 that I use to cut and make hay on about 5 acres. Been making hay for 3 years now using an 80 year old sickle bar, a side delivery rake, and a NH 67 baler. My tractor is only 25 HP but actually does pretty good with this equipment. Lately my sickle bar has been more and...

Tractor is a CX2510 cab. About eight acres to mow 50% St Augustine mixed with 50% weeds now. Nothing that a finish mower can't handle. I want it to ultimately have the "estate look". I have a 60" flail mower, but I'm not satisfied with the cut. I've mowed it with a MMM on my previous JD 4110...

DR brush mower 14.5 hp. Was using it, had a stick hit the throttle cable and it reved up, so I shut it down. Went to turn it on and I saw the hot ( red) battery terminal smoking and would only intermittently crank. I have 2 mowers and figured it was the starter solenoid, so I swapped them. Same...

I have a David Bradley Walk behind and the wobble bearing is completely gone and was wondering if anybody knows where I could get a replacement bearing

I just got a Craftsman riding mower with the snowblower attachment on it. Got it running today and the augers are “on” or engaged even with the manual type PTO disengaged. I am obviously missing something - wonder if anyone can shed light on what that is. Thanks in advance. Thinking a return...

Hello Guys, Looking to add a ditch bank flail mower to the line up. I have a CK2620. My questions , how heavy of a mower is acceptable and what is the best range HP. I see some site go by the tractor HP and some go by the PTO hp. Any help would be appreciated Thank you

Two weeks ago I picked up a 20 year old pre-emission tractor to use to mow my fields. I still need to save more pennies to buy a 8’ finish mower to pull behind it … It's a 2005 Kubota L5030 HSTC. I think paint should be shiny, and I used to simonize/clean cars when I was a teenager … so, I...

Has anybody had any experience with a hex end on the roller needing replaced? My hex end on one side is round. I see that there is a Alamo parted called a weldment roller end. My mower is a 1996 SHD88

I’m looking to purchase a diesel tractor to mow and pull a trailer around for personal use. Possibly one day add a front mounted snowblower. I do not want a zero turn, don’t need 4wd, no need for a loader, and don’t really need a 3 point hitch. There’s only so many options to pick from. Kubota...

I absolutely LOVE this thing!!! I bought it new in March of 2024. It was a leftover model and I got a great deal on it. I’m a homeowner and do not cut grass commercially. The engine is a 24 hp Kawasaki FR730V. The single fuel tank holds 5.1 gallons of gas. It has the Commercial 10 gauge...

DISCLAIMER: I am not a mechanic, so if you listen to me, you may die or ruin your mower. I recently bought a Kubota ZD326 diesel mower with 229 hours on the meter. When I arrived to look at it, of course, the meter was frozen, but the mower looks like it has under 1,000 hours on it, so I bought...

Is there a way on the 1025r to lock belly mower lift mechanical in the up position when the mower is removed? Thanks

I will be getting a free to me Ford 1210. It has 16 HP with 13.5 at the PTO. We have some property that we curtently mow 2x a year with a Gravely 2-wheel tractor and. 30 inch brush mower. I would like to get a flail mower that I can use on the Ford, but I know I have very limited choices because...

hi, story had this mower for over 10 years, last year the plastic can gear lost teeth, I replaced the camshaft with the all steel shaft/gear, oil pump gear the governor looked OK put it back together and worked fine, last couple weeks the motor will change RPM for no reason, idle will speed up...

I have a 2014 Max28XL with the 60” deck. I messed up the driveshaft on the mower mowing too high grass. I was told by the Mahindra dealer it would be $1000. to replace! I took it to a drive line rebuilder and they didn’t want to mess with it. Said they couldn’t get parts. I could fix it myself...

The deck clutch has been failing to engage intermittently. It failed yesterday and I couldn't get it function properly again. I have tested yellow switch at the connector to the clutch. With a meter on ohms, the open circuit will change to 0 ohms when the switch in pulled up (energizing the...

Purchased my first flail mower this year. Does a great job cutting but it does not do a very good job of dispersing the cuttings, they tend to be in clumps. Have I not set up the mower properly or does one expect clumps with a flail mower?

I've got this 15' flexwing that is powered by hydraulics which are powered by the 540 shaft and a pump. Has three hydraulic motors, one for each blade. The right side rotates clockwise, the center and left side, both rotate counter clockwise. They are considered (I believe) a geared motor...

Just about to buy my first tractor, so be gentle with my ignorance. I have a 6 acre property in the Sierra Foothills in Northern California that we've tried to keep as fire safe as possible for a few years. We don't live there yet, but have amazing neighbors and feel a responsibility to keep...

I bought this at an auction, but having trouble. ANyone have a pointer for where to seek help? Sdlool SL800 Remote Control Mower

I can't get the height control knob to the top position so it wont lower the mower. It used to work fine when I got it but now forget it. Had to use the land plane with the mower down. Wondering if others are having this issue. Dave

Had an idler pulley start smoking, luckily noticed before it torched the belt along with it from what I can tell, the bearings don't look serviceable - no snap ring or anything top or bottom - am I missing something? Guessing you'd have to undo the eight big rivets ... I just ordered...

Is this finish mower manufactured by Kioti or is it rebranded? Any comments (good or bad) about the mower? Thinking about getting one for a CX2510, but it seems expensive (msrp is $5000) compared to mowers from other manufacturers like Land Pride or Woods.

Hi..new to the forum and have upgraded my GC 2300 to a MF 1526 with a Woods 72” finish mower. I’m second guessing myself as the terrain I mow in certain areas is quite uneven and with Woods set as high as possible I am still hitting a scuffing the ground. How high are the blades of a Mid mount...

Like the title said, I'm in the market for a new rider mower. Currently have an old Ariens that my father bought back in the mid 90s and I kind of inherited a few years ago. It still runs, but it's got issues...steering is really sloppy, I've had to re-weld one of the mower deck hangers a...

My Fred Cain 6 foot suburban finish mower ate its belt and I can not find what size it needs. Searches are saying 123 inch or 84 inch and I measure 120 inchs at max tension. Anyone have a belt size for it. Also do you have to detach the gear box from the top to get the belt in? Thanks for any help!

I have been looking at the 28" single spindle Bellon over at Earth Tools. Lawn Mowers - Earth Tools I got the little BCS walking tractor used with a nice 26" Del Morino bush hog and a tiller last year. Love it. Thinking about adding that little mower for 3-4 hills I can't get my zero turn or...

I have been considering getting an offset flail mower to cut grass and "bush hog" my food plot/trail/shooting lane. I do not need golf course quality results. I will also use it to mulch up brush piles and leaves Mechmaxx has this model I am looking at...

I need to grease the PTO driveshaft on my 54-inch mower deck. Is there an easier way to do that without having to remove the deck?

Bearing assembly replacement, the dealer wants $300.00, are there any alternatives?

I recently finished adapting a gasoline-powered push mower to my 7yo mini-X. Video here:

My friend is looking at getting one. Anyone have any feedback on them? Thanks

Kubota RCK72R-F36 rear discharge mower deck in excellent condition. Fits Kubota F series front mowers including F2880, F3080, F3680, F2680, F2690, F3990, F3710 and more. I'm the original owner and this was serviced regularly. Approximately 300 mowing hours. Comes with owner's manual and rear...

I was looking for information about the size of these belts. One older post said they were 43 inches, which is the internal circumference. The pulleys on my flail mower have an internal circumference of 41 inches measured from the base of the grooves. For this size a 42 inch internal...

Hello, own a X730 and having lots of problems keeping the Mower Deck wheels spinning freely, plenty of clearance when the deck is down so not in constant contact (as they should be), they just keep locking-up then dig-in to the lawn. I do keep them lubed with the JD synthetic grease, perhaps...

Will a flail mower work to grind up brush piles with a maximum of 2” diameter sticks?

I've got this 430. Essentially, runs like a top. Old battery so needs jumped every now & then if it's been sitting. Cut yard say, 2-ish weeks ago and all is well. Drove it to it's parking space and turned off. Other day, jumped on to cut lawn. Nothing. No problem, it's got a weak battery...

Symptom: On my JD 425, the electric clutch to the PTO that drives the lawn deck is not engaging fully. I have the parking brake off. When I pull the PTO switch up, the lights on the dashboard for front & rear PTO light up. But, I do NOT hear the normal screech (I assume the screech is the...

The machine randomly just stops like someone turned the key off. Sometimes it restarts ok, but other times it just cranks and cranks. I have removed and tested the fuel shutoff selenoid. It seems ok when I use a jumper to it from the battery. I suspect it is a wiring problem, but the wires...

Good afternoon, I have a Woods RM550 finish mower that has started mowing poorly (see attached pictures). I know the grass is pretty long in the pictures, but I used to be able to mow this height of grass at a pretty fast speed and it wouldn't miss a blade. All the wheels are set at the...

My Neighbor has a appx 10yr woods mower that needs a gear box and Coleman in Bonner Springs quoted one for little over 2K new. The two internal gears are about 1200 for both and the rest is seals and bearings etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a gear box from a salvage mower ?

Hi I need to change my mower blades and the dealer seem to only sell gold plated blades. Anyone know some jobbers blade to replace PN AUB164210 or AUB162122. Both are listed to fit on my Case MWX60R mower (same as NH 914A ). I cant find any interchange for them. Who build the mower for CNH...

My Tractor is a Kubota L5030 and shredder is a Land Pride RCF 2060. My problem is with the lifting straps on the shredder (I guess that's what you call them-they are two steel straps that extend from the area of the top link to the frame on either side of the shredder gearbox. My problem is...

Hi folks! I picked up this old 6ft Ford flail mower cheap this winter from a local dealer, It was a trade-in and I guess the dealer didn't want anything this old and crusty looking near their shiny new Kubotas. Definitely has some welds and dents on it. Has a few plates and stencils that...

When you replace the blades on a mower deck (if there are several, 3 in my case), I thought you should align them all in a parallel manner and then tighten. However, I just recently came upon a picture of a brand new 3 bladed mower deck and the middle blade was mount perpendicular to the to...

Just bought a Buhler Farm King 72 finish mower in great shape except for one bad tire although all four should be replaced. When inspecting the rims on each tire I noticed some of the rims had no valve stem or zerk. A couple had both a zerk and valve stem. Is this common or should each wheel...

My John Deere 318 has the mid mount mower deck, but has anyone ever seen or heard of a hydraulically (or belt) driven, front mounted field or brush type mower for a 318? Something along the lines of those walk behind DR field mowers, that could be attached to the front mounting points, and be...

So I wanted to remove a front rubber wheel to untangle some string that got wrapped around the axle bolt head. Got the nut off and as hard as I banged on the bolt it did not budge. Won't unscrew either....wazzup?!

Recently purchased a used 3 pt Kioti KRM03-60 finish mower. No manual. Internet says it's very similar to or the same as a WAC, 1st Choice, Simca and a couple others. Made in Italy. Going over the mower, I found the gearbox full to the top. I pulled the screw in dipstick and noticed it has 2...

I have a John Deere D140 with a bagger that I use for the first few mows of the season to prevent all the dandelion seed distribution. I know it's not ideal to mow wet grass, but sometimes that isn't an option, and the grass has to get done (even though it means stopping every few laps and...

I thought I'd share this. I bought some ceramic coating after talking to a young fellow at work. I cleaned my mower deck and applied it underneath. I was amazed the first time mowing! NO stuck grass!!! Absolutely none!!! I've mowed 4 times now and only have a tiny bit the size of a pinky finger...

The drive pulley on my 955 has come loose. Looks as if the taper inside the pulley has worn down over time so the contact area between the gear box shaft and the pulley is non existent. The part number on the pulley is M77201 but I cannot find one to save my life and from the diagrams I have...

Ford 1220 4x4. I used this tractor last week to move some dirt. Works, but just not big enough for what I need. I'm hoping to sell it so that i can buy a bigger tractor or skidsteer. I'll consider trades. Loader has a dent and crack in the arm, but the crack doesn't open up even with a load...

I have a problem when I disconnect my mower. the lift arm has worn a groove in the lift bracket on the mower which causes it to hang up on the lift arm and makes it frustrating to remove the mower for cleaning. I seem to remember my dealer showing me a repair kit that was a smooth bracket...

Post in repairs: Kubota Mower Bevel Gear Case setup if anyone can help!

Happens to be RCK54-15BX, looks just like my RCK54-22BX. So, planning my marking and shimming process after new bearings. Parts book and WSM for similar unit shows shims: 2 sets, 1 each end of input shaft, and a single set 'holding up' vertical output shaft. My limited knowledge would...

My departed GR2120 ( bought a new one) had developed the leaking gearbox seal on the mower deck. In looking at it I noted the breather valve had a 5 stamped on it. Removing the valve I noted that is was spring loaded and would require X amount of pressure to open (5lbs?). That coupled with the...

Mowing season is here and we're in the new place with 15~ acres of grass. I'm using my Yanmar with a woods RD990 for most of it, but there are areas that are too tight, and the the sides of the long driveway that has somewhat of a ditch. There are also some sloped areas and a lot of pond bank...

Looking for ideas I welded autobody for over thirty years, as the years progressed the metal became thinner. I can weld a soda can but it will distort the can badly. For some reason someone cut section out of my hood, I have another hood that is beat to hell but this area is fine. I’ll need to...

I'm looking for a mower deck for my TZ25DA, and a possible parts tractor. Any help would be appreciated.

Good evening. I have a 20 year old Bushhog RDTH72 Finish Mower and am working to rebuild the spindles. I've never done this before and I watched several YouTube videos but none were really like my spindles I have. I have several questions. 1. After I remove the snap rings on the spindles how...

Right front guide wheel is bent slightly backwards on my mower(Discharge side). On the other side, in the front is a stiffener bolted to the bottom of the deck. Looked at the parts diagrams, and it looks like there is only the one stiffener, but it looks like there should be two. Anybody have...

Well I rounded a wet sloping spot and hung my rear caster wheel on the mid mount. Effectively it bent in toward the tractor/deck. Now it has a crack and is not structurally sound. Has anyone ever had luck welding these and having it last or am I just hosed? Will definitely need to be bent...

Hello. Just purchased a Bolens H1502 Iseki diesel tractor with a belly mower that wasn’t attached. Tractor has front pto and shafts. Would like to see some pictures or diagrams of how the deck attaches to the tractor and how the cables for lifting are attached if anyone can help me out. Thanks...

I have a question. Does anybody know where I can get the drawbar and idler pulley brackets for a Mott Model 9 flail mower to go on a Farmall Super A? This is what I have to work with. It should have everything else.

I bought a used Land Pride FM2160 flail mower and it's time for new blades. It uses a scooped "duckfoot" blade when I'd prefer something like a Mott/Maletti style rock blade (two Y knives hanging from a swinging D-ring) but the dealer says there's only that one option available. Has anybody...

My belly mower belt broke. I have the new belt, but how to route it has been a mystery so far. Can anyone post a photo of the correct belt routing, please? I have seen posts about Woods mowers on these little tractors. Mine is Kubota. Not Woods, unless maybe Woods made all the decks for...

I bit the bullet and ordered a 2-spool rear remote kit for my Kubota L3710. This should give me the ability to run a flail mower with hydraulics. I guess this will be an old question no one wants to hear again, but how much mower can I run? I have a 30-HP PTO. It runs a 6-foot King Kutter...

I have a Z545R that is a little over a year old. I mostly love the machine, how it operates and the ease of most maintenance. However, I am scratching my head over how to clean the top side of the mower deck. I'm talking after a routine day of mowing with grass clippings and dust all over...

Got a PYT900 from Sears not too long before they shut down around this area. Has been fine over the years with a few problems. Briggs 24HP VTwin Vanguard. Latest issue is charging. Battery has to be on float charger for it to start at all. If it dies or has to be shut off for any reason...

I have a Kubota L3400HST with a factory front end loader and am thinking about getting an offset flail mower with tilt for cutting around the edge of my fields, creekbanks and some other places too steep for a bushhog. Eventually I will add rear remotes but, in the meantime, can I run the side...

I blew a bearing on 155 K-Series flail mower. It looks the bearing collar (is that what it is called?) for the drive side bearing is stuck on the shaft but I don't know what I am looking at. The bearing was fragmented and I have got the replacement bearing. I have measured the bearing and...

Hello again to the group. What are folks using to successfully replace the original tires on these mower decks? I have tried replacing one with new chinese tire and tube, and it failed after a few hours use. Photo attached of an (I believe) original tire. Size is 2.80/2.50-4. Outer diameter...

Hi all - new here, but not to tractors in general. In my current situation, I have about 3 acres (1.5 lawn/1.5 woods or pond) and own a Exmark Radius S for maintaining the lawn, but would love to have a tractor / all-in-one tool to do some more general maintenance items as well. I know a ZTR...

I sold my small ranch a few years ago and now an in the market for a subcompact utility tractor. My question is finish mower vs belly mower for 1 acre or so. I am very familiar with rotary cutters or shredders. Since this will be for some lawn mowing, what are users experience with both. I...

Hi, I'm pretty sure I have a failing bearing on the transmission shaft near pulley. I've removed the pulley and have the shaft off the mulcher. I did speak with the company today briefly and from my understanding to get the offending bearing out, needs to be done from working from the...

I need a ditch bank flail mower for my LS MT242HC and I am debating between the Maschio Giraffa S160 or the Ironcraft FRF-165. Does anyone have experience with either of these flail mowers? Also I am confused at the difference between the Maschio Giraffi S series and the Maschio Weekend Warrior...

Hello from Greece, I currently own a 1970 year model IH B276 manufactured in Doncaster, England. I would like to find out if it will be possible to buy and operate a 1,55m long and 350Kg mower like the one pictured. Supplier states that it will have no issues. Can you please let me know if this...

Quick question, I have an 8n Ford, all restored. I’m looking for a finish mower and found a Woods RM 90. Iis it possible for my tractor to run it? Thanks

I have been using the whisper quiet 40 volt mower for three seasons and I really liked it for several reasons over the gas jobs. They had a recent recall which had me disable the one I owned. Then they had me pickup a replacement at Home Depot last week. Most got the replacement shipped to...

Does anyone know some blades that will work on the M60 besides the OEM's?

I have a DR Brushmower that runs at a slow idle when fully choked, dies when I move to run. It’s a 15hp Kawasaki engine. If I fiddle with the throttle at the carb, I can get it to run at speed. There seems to be some feedback that is shutting down the engine. Does anyone have a shop manual with...

Can someone explain the lift mechanism for the belly mower on a John Deere 855? I just traded my problematic classic convertible for (what appears to be) a well maintained but long dormant 855 and see no possible way the mower deck could be raised via the 3 point mechanism in back. There is...

I’m not sure if there is a flail mower specific thread on this site but I picked this mower up this weekend and I’m wondering if anyone could help identify it. The previous owner didn’t know the make/model and I’ve yet to find anything helpful on it. It looks like it had some stickers at some...

I just bought a 2023 emax 20s with loader, backhoe and third function option. I want to add the 54 inch MMM. I saw a thread that said the MMM would not work with the backhoe? I have seen other emax 20s with loader, backhoe and MMM for sale so I think that is wrong and I can configure a new 20s...

So, I'm looking at a 25 hp, cab tractor for the lawn and light snow removal. Looking for pros and cons of a belly mower vs a 3 ph. I see the belly mower being more maneuverable but more of a pain to take on and off. I expect the mower to be on and the loader to be off in the summer, then mower...

G’day Tractor Forum, I've recently picked up a Toro Z287L with a seized FH680V engine and a bad deck. I've cleaned up the engine, honed the cylinders, and soaked the heads in ATF. I reckon it'll run fine with new gaskets and oil. The deck is a non-original 52-inch replacement, but it’s beyond...

I have two that I have owned since new and I no longer have the mowers they work with. One was used with my John Deere GT235 48" deck (chute model 179), the other with a John DeereX300 42" deck (chute model 577). I do not know the Palmor Products model #'s unfortunately. Normal wear and tear...

Recently inherited my Dad's M8540 tractor. I requested quotes from JD and Kubota for a 'ditch bank' flail mower: JD - Frontier FL1272S at $11,175. Kubota - Land Pride OFM2678 $18K The reason I'm considering an ditch bank mower is we have a pond with a pretty high damn as well as the front of...

I bought this with my 2019 MT122 as a backup for my 60" zero turn. Used it for about an hour to test it (works great) and then set it where it sits now. Essentially new condition. Dealers want about $1K more than I'm asking. I live 20 miles north of Milwaukee. Prefer cash and local...

A local guy on craigslist sells "Miva" brand 58" sickle mowers intended for 1-2 ton mini excavators for $450. I couldn't resist. I bought one. I had leftover parts from my post hole digger conversion project that worked out nice to make a pivot mount for this on a ssqa plate. the storage...

Winter project. Bought mower used and knew rear roller had some bad rust issues from sitting. Mower has the large rear wheels option so rear roller only touches ground on high points. Rust and perforation weakening the roller. Repair before totally ruined. New roller $2,000 so no go. Took a...

Craftsman 42" rider, bought in '10, Briggs 24Hp, Vtwin. First off, it has a starter solenoid problem, clicks multiple times before catching to run the starter. So, I guess I need to find one of those. Once running, it'll be OK for a while (time varies), but will begin to lose power, stumble...

Does anyone know of an aftermarket gearbox that might fit on a Woods rd8400 machine? Buying a woods replacement gearbox will force me to mortgage farm........

I was just wondering if old school PTO driven sickle bar mowers cut in the folded up position. Found a good looking one for $400 and I was thinking if they cut in the up position it would be a good way to keep the sides of my overgrown woods road cleared.

does anyone have a manual for this in pdf format or even jpg? i have some exploded parts view but the whole pto unit is missing in the diagram - it has the main unit parts listed and not the shaft info included. - my unit is and has been frozen for a few years now due to many surgeries. and it...

Hello, I have a steep, uneven and rocky food plot planted with white clover. It needs mowing once or twice a year. I believe a finish mower may get damaged and a brush hog may not do the job. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I am in the process of finding either a pull-behind rotary cutter or a flail mower for my ATV but I have zero experience with either. I have used a rotary cutter behind tractors to maintain hunt property trails and food plots for years but an ATV cutter or mower which off-sets to one side would...

What’s the largest TYM OR Brandon tractor that will take a belly mower? Something with a loader and 3 point hitch too.

I recently picked up a Aktiv TH sickle bar mower, and the gentleman I picked this up from had a manual that was in decent condition. Since the manual (which I'm guessing is circa ~1960) doesn't have any copyright marks, I scanned this in and am posting it to this net since TractorByNet has been...

Good Morning from NH, cold, damp and rainy this morning. Did my last cut (one can only hope) this past weekend then my wife hands me this part this morning. Apparently in our gravel driveway outside the garage door where I keep the '21 JOHN DEERE X73O 2WD. Anyone have an idea, I'll be scanning...

I recently purchased this mower used, and I found some side play in the spindles, which may indicate they need to be rebuilt with new bearings. Has anyone on here ever rebuilt spindles on this model mower? They have a 4 bolt square pattern housing. A thin 25 mm slotted self locking nut is on...

Hello all. New tractor owner here. I purchased a used 2011 2320 hst with 670 hours. It came with the 62D mower. Today was my first mow with it. The deck adjustment is all messed up, which I guess is quite common. I’ve read through a ton of threads about this but my situation seems a little...

Does anyone know where I can find blades for my 4ft finish mower blades that won't break the bank? And that has them is stock.

Last year I had my riding mower break down while mowing in Somerville Texas. I had to finish before traveling back to Waller Texas, so I went to Burleson county Tractor Supply and bought this Troy-Bilt pony 42. The only one I could afford. I have only used it 2 or 3 times and now have my...

Has anyone replaced the seals in one of these gearboxes? It's on a BX2350D. It's not the owners manual gearbox. It's a split aluminum case. Horizontal spline runs via drive shaft. Vertical shaft has blade. I have to replace the lower bearing (very bad, greased but too much play)and seals...

I just got a Del Morino Flipper flail mover. FLI 214 MMSS. What would one set the belt tension to or how would you figure it out? The manual basically says adjust it correctly. It is a 3 belt drive.

I am looking at replacing a John Deere 855 with a 380 frame mounted plow. Does anyone have the Kubota B2601 with the 4 point hitch (B3410 for B01) and the 60" HD front blade (BX2812A)? I would appreciate to hear your thoughts and if you have any pics. I have not been able to find any on...

I would rather not have to turn a valve to let my carb run out of fuel after the season is over. Does anyone know of a inexpensive 12V solenoid valve that can be placed inline with a separate fuel electric switch?

Looking for “Old Style” Input shaft and gear #700492 for gearbox Mott/Alamo dealers look up part # and it crosses over to 702673 gearbox assy I just need the shaft/gear assy New or used

I bought a New 2022 Betstco Flail mower EF155 and within the 1st 1.5 acres the gearbox went kaput. I greased everything and peeked at the oil level before starting it up. Then I noticed it was blowing oil out of the breather holes on the filler plug. I stopped for a moment to try to assess...

I have a 2024, 1126 with a mid mount mower. If I operate the loader when mowing with the mid mount mower, the mower stops working. As soon as I stop using the loader the mower starts mowing. Is this normal for this tractor? It does not happen on my 2023 Kioti 2220.

Have a 1989 Curtis Grooming mower, in great shape, however the gearbox got damaged with a bad barring and now need to repair vereticle shaft and barrings. John Deere sold them. They now no longer make the gearbox and shaft. Any ideas on where to go to repair the gear box? Unit is three point...

Hello all Bought a used lenar 69 inch flail mower. I sharpened the Y blades on it. Still doesnt seem to do that great of a job. Often gets tangled up with long green weeds. I noticed lots of flail mowers the blades are hanging from a C chain link. On mine the 2 blades are bolted together on the...

Long time reader and commentator, first post. Background: I have a 6 foot Bush Hog BH16 I bought new over a decade ago. Used it on my JD 2240 and now my JD 5075E for the first time. Hadn't had enough rain in last few years to justify getting it out. Its been banged up a lot in the Texas Hill...

I’m looking at ordering a Massey 72” mid-mount mower (Model 1705) run from a Massey 1835M. I have about 3 acres of native grasses. Has anyone used this particular mower, and able to comment on its performance? How it performs in taller grass etc…. ? Thanks, Wineguy

Well my old rider tractor finally gave up. It is on it's third transmission, and I don't feel like crawling under it to remove it and try to fix it. SO, I have been looking at battery powered lawn mowers. I don't want a Z-turn and I have to have a mower that will fit in my storage shed. The...

So I have come into possession of a Yazoo YHRLD211 commercial front cut rider mower with a 6' deck, powered by a Kubota D722 diesel. The machine itself is really not in bad shape, but the electrical system is all hacked up. Im trying to figure out a few things in order to just fabricate my own...

I need to replace the belt on my 60 inch finish mower. Does the hydraulic motor have to be removed to get the belt around the center pulley? It looks the motor and coupler have to be removed to get the belt off and on or is there some trick to it? Thanks, Bill

My yard is right at 10 acres and it takes me and my wife about 2 hours to mow it with both of us on mowers. I have been thinking about getting a big finish mower to speed up the job and came across this listing this morning. Do any of you know anything about them? I have never heard of Buhler...

Yeah, this topic has been done to death here, but I have a question for those who have used both: I went to the dealer this week to get replacement knives for my flail. The guy behind the counter said I should switch to hammers because they last longer and cut just as well. Has anyone found...

I'm in need of the hydrostatic relief valve location and linkage

I have seen some other posts on here some of you guys are experts on these mowers, hoping to get a little more info! Picked this up at the end of a farmers driveway last night for 800$. Might of got ahead of myself, i was looking for something to cut brush with.

I purchased a woods s105 ditch bank mower that had been completely disassembled and is missing some parts. Can someone get me the measurements for the lift arm the hydraulic cylinder mounts to? I can come up with it roughly but would be nice to know the exact center to center of all 3 holes.

This deck is a RCK60B23BX model ser. 67407 Bought this tractor with 218 hrs on it from a dealer in PA. Was traded in on larger machine. As perfect a condition as I have seen a used Kubota. The dealer had serviced it just before my purchase. I greased the deck at start of this season. It cuts...

A bcs 732cx11 has popped up on marketplace place near me. (Only six hour drive away) . Has sickle bar mower but no other implements. Trying to read up on this machine and it sounds like it’s not the best for mowing. Anyone have some info. Thanks

this is the first time mounting the rough cut mower on my Toolcat, the guy cutting hay in my field will not cut where we have Canada thistle so have to cut it down. first off this rough cut mower is not a brand name, has the bar where the blades mount instead of the disc, the mower spins fine...

My 727A starts on the first crank when cool. However, if it has been run for an hour or so and is shut off, it will not start until it cools off for a few minutes. I have gone through the complete fuel system and it has new plugs and ignition coils. Any suggestions?

I built a mini brush hog mounted on the fel of my Kubota. It is a Toro 36 inch 2 blade deck, driven by a Kawasaki FC420v engine. It works great except sometimes it "squeals like a stuck pig" when the blades are engaged. All moving parts are fine on the mower. I spun the spindles up with a...

Almost new mower for Yanmar SA series tractor. Only used about one hour. Came with the 424 I just bought but I have no use for a mower.

My tractor is 42 HP at the PTO with one set of rear remotes. I have established trails and will need to do yearly cutting to keep the brush from encroaching on the trails and fence lines. Any recommendations for a flail mower that has the most offset to the right possible via hydraulics? I’m...

I bought a shredder from the dealer here in Finland. Before I fired it up, I double-checked the mower deck and found that they had not installed one of the zerk fittings for the flail axle. I am disappointed that the dealership will take your money but not do their diligence in delivering a...

I need some help. I have a cub 7193.545-422D100 model. It was running fine, I parked it in the barn and I went to restart after installing the belly mower. Turned the key all the lights came on, turned the key to start and nothing. Allowed the key to go back to on position and not even the...

So I forgot to connect my mid-mount mower deck PTO shaft. I backed up and it bent under the deck, tweaking one ear on the male splined shaft for the U-joint bearings (I think I can bend this back), but it broke the endcaps for the u-joint and I lost some needles. If I could source a new u-joint...

I received the BCRM175 a few days ago, it took me the better part of a day to put it together because the directions are not very good. The directions need better step-by-step instructions and explanations. Between looking at videos and their online pics, I was able to get it together. I...

Does anyone know where I can find a gearbox for a Farmtrac GMR 7A grooming mower?

Yep, I've dropped the mower and forgot to disconnect the PTO shaft 3 times. Today was the worst as I'd just pulled it apart and cleaned/lubed both tubes only to drag the end in the dirt. Wiped it off on my shirt and moved on. I blame the 100 F temperature.

So I’m struggling to choose between a boom mower, or an offset flail. My tractor has 2 rear remotes and I’ve got a Yanmar yt359C. Yanmar specs say 52hp pto some other sources say 46… Yesterday I spent 3 hours weed-eating where either of these could have made it maybe 30 min or so.. a lot of...

I've narrowed my search for a new finish mower to either a Woods TKP72.40 or a LandPride FDR1672. The Woods is ~$1000 more, weighs ~ 70 lbs more, and has slightly wider gauge wheels (4" vs 3.25"). Otherwise, they appear pretty much the same, the LandPride seems to be the no-brainer choice, is...

Why can’t USA get this mulcher? As far a an I can tell it’s only available Kubota Australia. Does anyone know where you can get this exact mulcher in the USA or how to get this one delivered to the USA? Landpride or Kubota USA doesn’t offer it. I dont know how to add a YouTube link but here is a...

hey all, I have a ford 1210 tractor. It is 16 hp, 15 hp at the pto. when i bought the tractor at auction, it came with a Ford 916A belly mower, however, none of the stuff to actually mount the mower deck to the tractor. A little background: over the years, i have welded up some things to mount...

Recently acquired this mower, but the badge that’s on it isn’t the mower, but the gearbox. It’s not a form factor that I’m even familiar with. It’s got two different styles of blade and some sort of lever controlled chute. Any ideas?

Hi All. I scored a deal on a 2005 GX255 this past weekend and have been figuring it out the past couple of days. I searched this sub-forum (John Deere Lawn & Garden) for this model number and only came up with four results so it doesn't seem a common model. This model was only sold in 2004 and...

2020 John Deere x580, great condition, stored inside a shed with a cover year round when not in use. 54" deck with built-in mulcher and pull behind garden cart. Recently serviced (June 2024) with brand new blades installed. The mower has approximately 50 hours on it. Asking $7500.

Looking for recommendations for a finish mower. So far I've looked at the Bush Hog HDTH6, Woods TPK72, and LandPride FDR1672. I'm open to other brands as long as they have a good parts network and are quickhitch compatible.

I have just finished restoring a 1948 Farmall Super A. An IH sicklebar mower (I don't know the model, and don't know how to tell what it is) came with it needing a lot of repair. I have it all together and it goes back and forth like it should, however it immediately plugs up when trying to...

I live in Ohio and thanks to Louis Bromfield introducing multi flora bushes ( very prolific and thorny bushes, almost impossible to eradicate) to our area, the edges of my fields are covered with them. They have to be kept cut or they extend into the fields very easily. The problem with...

Ok, I have been using a zero-turn for 17 years. I am happy with my current one as well because of the nice seat and the speed it cuts. However, I still sometimes like the idea of a nice, big, comfortable, riding mower to cut grass with. It seems the consensus on here is that zero-turns are the...

I am able to get regular rock guards for my MF 31 mower, but I need the one for the left end of the bar. It is narrower than the others and my MF dealer could not find it in their parts database... not even a part number. Can anyone out there help out?

I have a 2023 Mahindra 5155 with FEL, Grapple, Bucket and box blade. Now I am shopping for a bush hog / pto style mower, for brush and other areas around my property that my Gravely ZT HD can't handle. Needs to be fairly robust, but no need for a forestry mower. What would you all suggest me...

ANy body have any experience with this company of it's flail mowers? I'm about to buy this 86" mode https://etractorimplements.com/product/emhd-86-heavy-duty-embankment-flail-mower/ Its quite a bit less expensive than others Thanks

Anybody knows what, where, how to add the external hydraulic line connectors on an Iseki TX1510? Would it be powerfull enough to activate a hydraulic rotor of a small (80cm) mower blade? I'm considering to add to my tractor this feature below, which is a fence pole mower. But I wonder is my...

Do you happen to know if this is correct? Are these Maschios made in China? I'm considering the Frontier FL1163S, which comes to about $5500 with the equine discount or a Nova Tractor BCRM175 fro $3300. My notes:

Looking for the belt part # for the 1505 mid mount deck

Replacing the belt on a 918L Flail mower and in need of advice or manual instruction for correct belt tension. Bought it used with no manual. Thanks!!

I will be going an auction where there is a NH 918H 8ft flail mower. I have no experience with flail mowers so I would like to know what to check for? From my investigation, it looks like the most expensive thing to go wrong is the bearings. How can I check those at an auction ? Are there any...

I am looking at buying a battery powered push mower for a small section of my yard that too big to just use a weed eater and really tight and awkward for my zero turn. Just wondering what brands people have had good or bad experiences with.

Does anyone make a decent quality flail mower that will work on a tractor with 18 HP at the PTO? A friend is looking, but I know very little about flail mowers.

Good evening friends! I recently purchased an older 7ft flail mower from an older lady who cold not remember what brand it was. I can not find any markings. Now the cutter shaft bearings need replaced and I can not find the corrent ones please help if you can

I have an LS MT225S tractor with a belly mower attachment. One of the springs broke that holds the back left side of the mower deck in place. There’s some kind of cotter pin that holds the plate in place for the spring to push against. How does that pin get removed and what size spring do I need?

I have a non drive side bearing that came apart from getting wire bound up in it. I am having issues getting the center shaft of the bearing off the post. Any suggestions on how to remove? There does not seem to be any set screws in the set screw places and it will not budge.

And if so where can I get a new pitman arm? Will a New Idea PA work? Mine is 35.5" long. I know, I should go find some hornbeam and make my own. Maybe someday but not yet. Thanks

I am trying to find replacement blades for my new to me 930A. I have the blades with me, unfortunately the mower is 30 miles away. I thought this would be a pretty easy exercise but.... The blades I took off, when observing them from the bottom would cut in a counter clockwise rotation. The...

I'm looking at one on an auction site and am thinking about bidding on it but don't know anything about this model and really very little about flail mowers, does anyone have any experience with a John Deere 390 flail? it's centered not offset. Thanks.

Leaving a section of grass uncut in the middle of swath. Any suggestions?

Picked up a used FL-165 flail mower at an auction (no brand identification on it). Got it home to find out I have a bent rotor. It looks like it could be an Ironcraft (same look and color) but there is only the serial number sticker on the machine. The Ironcraft have 24 weldments on the rotor...

Recently bought a JD345 newer model mower that had not been used in ten years, like GX345 and transmission works fine in forward but does not move in reverse. Looked at maintenance manual and indicated stuck ball valve in transmission. Is there any way I can move the valve without...

Hi everyone, Have you seen a project anywhere for modifying a sickle mower into a corn reaper binder ? Would it be possible ?

We attached tye deck mower for the season. My height adjustment, not the detail knob, to the right of tge seat wont raise or lower the deck. There is a knob under the seat that sets the under body that will not turn at all either. Any suggestions.

After talking with Dave at Earth Tools, I'm going to try preparing soil for cover crop seeding (using my 10 year old Earthway 2570 hand crank seed spreader) using my 1995 BCS 850 and 2020 30" Berta Flail Mower set to low and equipped with new scarifier blades ($98). I can't afford the Rinaldi R2...

My new Woods TK60 finish mower is leaving windrows in its wake. Any suggestions?

I am looking for a copy of Kioti KRM03-60S finish mower manual. I am also wondering is anyone know what size socket to remove the blades. I went thur every thing I own and I don't have anything to fit.

I just inherited an old Mott flail mower, I think it's model 72, and it has the fine cut rotor. I replaced all the flails and took it for a spin today and it was vibrating like crazy, and as I revved it up, it started vibrating harder and the flails were hitting the surround and sparking. The...

I need tools to clean up where the tractor-mounted rotary mower can't fit. Often the weeds are knee-high or more before I get to it. Trimming is done only a few times per year, more to keep fire danger down than for aesthetics. So I need something heavier than just lawn equipment. It looks like...

My 2006 Husqvarna is getting tired (1800 hours), transmission will not reverse well. I could buy a new ZT Toro 50 inch for about 6k. My brother reminded me I still shpuld be able to buy a mid mount mower for my GC2410. I also need the three bin bagger setup-cant do without that now. Has...

Hi folks, I’m new to tractors and flail mowers. Last year I purchased the Victory Flail Mower (model: FMHDX-94 Extra Wide Heavy Duty Flail Mower). I continue to have issues breaking PTO shear bolts. As soon as I engage the PTO - the shear bolt snaps. I have a CAT II tractor (Allis Chalmers 7010...

I just got a used 7ft finish mower is a rhino, made italy??. Manual say oil should be AGIP-ENI BLASIA 150 Any idea what this means and what equivalent would be? Ty

Hi all. Does anyone running a drum mower for hay use a slip clutch coupler or an overrunning clutch for PTO/tractor protection? I'm a bit leery using nothing, no hole for a shear pin. I am worried about PTO brake as I understand it takes a drum mower a while to spin down. Any thoughts or...

I have a BX2660 and no longer need the mower which is a 54" fine cut deck and also no longer need the loader which is a LA243 I believe. I have no idea how to price these things for sale. I only need my tractor now to tow my log splitter around in my yard. Both the mower and loader are in...

That yellow is a little bright for me, but the local Cub dealer was happy as heck to take my money; meanwhile, the Deere dealer, not so much. I'm looking forward to seeing how she does; my last Cub mowed like a champ. My oldest already bummed around the property, had some fun, and then learned...
