Mowing Could this mower be mounted on a YMXXXX?

Continental Belton KTR54

Wasn't sure if I should post this here or in "attatchments". /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Anyone here ever seen a setup such as this? BTW, "drive on drive off feature" does mean that you can supposedly just run over the thing to get it underneath! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I emailed the seller and asked about it. They also said it meant to fit a tractor <35HP.

This mower was made for a long wheelbase tractor. It could probably be made to fit a larger Yanmar but I suspect the rear frame would have to be shortened.

That's kinda what I suspected. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Well, I have the 48" version of this on a Mitsubishi mt180H and it fits fine. I doubt if the YMxxxx are shorter than my little 18HP.
Note the pictures, there a are lot of alternate holes to put the 3pt pins into to set it up for your tractor, probably 6" fore and aft adjustment and 3'4" up and down. . The drive on feature is great, the outer spindle covers are made of heavy steel, about 8-10 guage. So it will support the tractor weight when you back over the deck. Then just hook to the 3 pt, PTO and set height chains on the front and mow! Unhook is just ther reverse. Unhook and drive off.

Well, I ended up buying this thing. I wanted an underbelly mower and it seems as though this is the simplest way to get one on a grey market Yanny. I've seem a Yanmar YQM60 mounted on a YM1510 (which is for all intents and purposes the same as a CB KTR-60), so if a 60" version will work then a 54" should definitely. The idea of being able to run over your mower deck to get it underneath the tractor just puts a wicked nasty grin on my face. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif It appears to be in good shape, but is a bit "cosmetically challenged" at the moment. Ag-Meir (the folks who bought out Continental Belton) still supports these things and they said that parts could be obtained through the local Deere dealership about two miles down the road from me!

It's fixin' to be a good summer. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
