- International 1066 Full sized JCB Loader/Backhoe and a John Deere 430 to mow with
There is a Schulte 3020 20 foot flexwing mower for sale a couple hours away from me.
It has the shredding kit (double blades), 1000 input shaft.
I don't necessarily need a shredding kit and know little about it. I never knew they might put double blades on a cutter until I saw this one.
1. First question is, would this be too much mower for the 1066?
2. If not, would the shredding blades add more strain to the system over single blades? (since it's having to swing both blades verses one)
3. Would the shredding option / double blades do any better for simple mulching when cutting the (already cut once this year) fields?
4. It's at some dealer who says he took it in on a trade....he said he thought the stump jumper was part of the shredding kit. I was asking if it would make sense to simply replace the blades with a single. He said he wasn't sure but thought the rotating pan on the bottom might be part of the shredding option (??)
5. I asked if one of these blades rotated "inside" the ring and the other one rode "above" ... I've never seen this in person and can't quite gauge from the pictures where the blades are in relation to the rest of the underside. (they LOOK like they're both simply bolted at the same pivot point which, might indeed be the case....) I thought he said one blade was above the pan and the other below with a single bolt. He then admitted he hadn't really looked at it and didn't know, which is fine.
Appreciate any thoughts.
