I mowed orchard grass/ fescue pastures with a 72inch Land Pride rotary mower on an MX5000 DT. Combination did well even when grass was as high as the bonnet of the tractor.
Labrat, I see you're in Central Ny, grew up in Rochester, now living in Erie, PA. I see an old thread about you installing a CV Joint in the snow blower drive shaft. Can you share more information on part numbers and what was required?
