Mowing Pasture Mowing

[NoTrespassing]

I mow about 15 acres with my L3710 and 6ft. rotary. One piece of advice I would give is this. If the pasture is rough, remove the loader before mowing. I found that with the short wheelbase of my compact tractor combined with a loader and 6ft. deck behind it, the tractor is very rough riding. I was amazed at the difference after removing the loader.

That's about the amount of land I mow. I use a 30HP JD790 with a 5' Bush Hog. Never had the slightest problem with the rig getting the job done. Mowed a couple of acres of it when it was all brush and blackberry thickets higher than the top of the ROPS. It ate it up and spit it out no problem.

Hope this helps.

Steve,

That's a good point you made re: "..dropping the FEL" I can see the pictuire in my mind's eye as I rock my way through the pasture!

As I've said a few times before, all this input from experienced users is invaluable to those of us wiith little or no seat time.....That all may change in the week ahead, though that's another forum.

Thanks,
