Hey folks... hopefully this is the correct forum as it relates to the hydrostatic drives on my zero turn.
The main belt and/or tensioner went out on our zero turn the other day when my son was mowing. As you might expect that happened in a place that's not conducive to making easy repairs. I'd like to use my tractor to slowly tow the zero turn back to my shop for repairs..... Distance might be around 4 chains of level ground.
My general thoughts were as follows:
- Disengage each of the two drive levers for the hydrostatic wheel drives at the rear of the unit
- Chain the rear of the zero turn to my FEL bucket and lift the rear wheels off the ground slightly
- Slowly/carefully tow the mower to the shop.
Thoughts/concerns... am I over thinking this?
