My YM2000 does a decent job pulling a JD 503 5' rotary mower.
Today I hooked up a JD 261 5' finishing mower I recently purchased. I greased it, replaced the blades ETC and the cut was amazing but it seemed to be putting a heck of a strain on my tractor although my grass is pretty splotchy and sad looking. After 15-20 minutes the temp dummy light came on and I parked my tractor under the pole barn.
Why is a finishing mower putting an incredible strain on my tractor running through splotchy grass but it does a decent job pulling a rotary mower through thick nasty stuff...???
I've been really frustrated with my YM2000 lately and I've started thinking about replacing it with a new Deere or Kubota.
