Now THAT oughta do 'er. Bahia grass got no chance with that comin' at it.

If you can, Stu, let us know how much fuel it uses per hour of tach. time. I'm finding the MX5000 burns 1.25 to 1.30 GPH when I'm working it....4 hours=5 gallons. Wondering if the larger, slower turning, turbocharged engine does better or worse.

Will do Bob! Should be working it starting Tuesday and will let you know how the fuel burn rate goes.

Very impressive setup.

I couldn't tell for sure in your pics, but if there isn't something on the front of the mower, it will kick up a massive dust cloud when you are mowing over areas that don't have thick grass on them. I cut and bolted an old tire to the front of mine and the difference was like night and day. Before, I was blinded by the dust in those areas, but now it just shoots off to the sides and I'm able to breath again.

Congrats,
Eddie
