I know I'm reporting to an old post but hopefully someone sees it and it's of some use:Agree that is at least part of his problem but I'd think there would be many others with similar complaints if it was just the lack of crawl speed. He has a tractor that puts out about 10 more HP than mine does and I don't need to "crawl".
After reading this thread since the beginning starting a week ago, I figured I'd do a test. My setup is a Kubota L4600 and a TM1900BSC that I bought used this year. I have replace all crappy flails and a few shackles that were binding. My roller is set to the 2nd lowest setting.
I have lots of pasture type acreage (40 areas of hillside and sort of flat) that I mow usually once a year after the birds are done nesting. I also have about 8 acres that I mow between my walnut trees. By the time I mow the grass and weeds are 5 foot tall.
Today I mowed about an acre with the Caroni on float using 2nd gear low range. With a few stops here and there due to very thick grass sections, it mowed without issue and resulted in a gorgeous bed of mulch.
I am amazed at the difference from using my Woods BX72 (?). Although I could go faster, 3rd gear low range, I had to set it at about 10" and it did a messy job.
Anyway, that's the test. Love the Caroni so far.
