Rear Finish Mower Bimek/ Tonutti finish mower

[padolin]

I bought this thing about 7 years ago. Is a 72 inch rear finish mower. At the time i didnt know alot about them, and i still dont. I mow about 8 acres weekly and it has done an ok job. Well, it seems that i have to replace the belts about twice a season. I had to replace the center pully this year also. Its been down so much my yard has looked horrible all year. Then when i do get it fixed, I hit a tree stump that was barely sticking up and the center and left blade assembly are now bent. Im sure it bent the deck, and not the pully itself.

My question is, should i just replace this pos or try to fix it? if i replace it i want a good quality mower. this thing doesnt even have a tension pully! any suggestions??

I think it is time to talk to Ken Sweet. Ken is a regular here on the forum and operates Sweet's Farm Equipment. Everything Attachments also has this same mower for the same price.

I chronicled my purchase on this thread, with lots of pictures.
