Hello fromsunny Florida

Hoochy · Dec 19, 2015

New to the forum and wanted to say hello.
A while back I was considering a bush hog rotary mower for my tractor and while surfing the ole innerweb I ran accross the "Lets talk about flail mowers" thread. Read the whole thing over a couple of venings and I decided to give a flail mower a try. Fastforward 2 months and I now have an Alamo SH74 fine cut and I pull it with my 1963 John Deere 1010RU that I restored and I am absolutely satisfied with it.

I belong to other forums and I am familiar with how much information is shared and I wanted to thank all that contribute to make this a great site.

I will start a thread in a few days with more information on my tractor restoration and my experiences with the new mower.

Thanks,
Hoochy

Thank you for the warm welcome. Here's a sneak peek at the mule and the mower at the deer camp. I will be painting and doing some work on the mower in a few days.

Welcome from Howell, Michigan!! You must be in northern Florida?

Well, 300uguy, not really...LOL I work in Miami, reside in Crystal River (west central FL) and hunt in Putnam county (north east FL):confused2:
Katherine TBN I could not ask for better results from the flail, might even sell the finish mower.:laughing:
This mower was state DOT owned, and although it looks like **** paint wise, the running gear is tight and has been running flawlessly.
This is when I got it....
