My basic question is addressed to operators out there who may using 7 ft mowers with tractors in the 30 hp range. Do you have any words of wisdom or warning I should consider?
As I've been investigating my mowing needs I have come to realize the used Woods rotary mower I got _may_ be a bit opversized for my tractor.
( 7' mower connected to 35pto HP tractor)
According to those who have more experience than I in this area, I may be burdening the tractor in thick grass or heavy brush.
I am planning to give it a try this weekend and see how it behaves. Another thing I've learned is that I need about 20% of the total tractor/mower weight at the front wheels for proper/safe operation. I do have a fel mounted so I think I'll be OK there, and my pasture is flat.
Thanks for your input..!
