That is something that I have yet to do. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif I think I'm afraid of having a hard time hooking it back up. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

It would have to make mowing simplier. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think your right.

<font color="blue">It sure would be nice to use 84" on my 3ac yard. </font>

Yes it would. I wish I had a bigger finish mower! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I currently run a 6' rfm with side discharge.
I would really like to upsize to an 84" or 90" rear mower, maybe with rear discharge. Problem is coming up with the $$$ ..

Great pictures!! I love that big mower. Looks like a blast. When my Sears dies I will have a finish mower for the back. That extra weight looked like to me it was no handicap while mowing your yard. So much for that old myth that a heavy tractor is no good for mowing. The extra weight just makes it ride that much better.

RedDog we never mow with the loader in place. It's very easy to take off and reinstall and the TC-40D handles more like a sports car without it when mowing. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Try mowing once without it and I think you'll agree with me......

Soundguy,

It doesn't mow to bad, but definitely could use a good sharpening of the blades. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif


Free was the best part about it!!! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Man I feel sorry for the guys on dial up waiting for that picture to load.

Nice rig I'm a bit jealous that you're a mowing in air conditioned comfort. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oops. That was supposed to be the small picture - I'll change it. No AC for me, that's the low profile cab without AC but all the windows open including the front.

Fuel tank does come as a refreshing change to my IH484 which also has a high tank. Just fitted the stereo /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: Mowing with a \"HEAVY\" tractor!!

I finally took the loader off. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

It was pretty easy to take off, and easier mowing,, which I knew it would be. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think I will be putting it on and off quite a bit now. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Cool that you posted these pics after having said many times that you mow with your DK65. I'm not sure everyone actually believed you do! I was going to comment that you need to sharpen those blades, but I see you posted that you know that. Thanks for the pics.

Boy, I'll say. At almost 2MB, I send my condolences to all you dial-up guys. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Those are some real mowing monsters in this thread. Sure beats the Cub Cadet 2166 I use. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

You mean there are non-believers on here. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I found a used fold up Woods finish mower close by, but $7500 scared me. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
