I use a Swisher 60'' finish tow mower in addition to the 60" MMM on my BX2200. To engage/disengage the blades you pull on a rope. I'm constantly replacing the rope because it falls out of my hand and the tow mower blades chew them up before I am able to stop. I want to use a cylinder to engage/disengege the blades. I think hydraulic would be too complicated so I'm looking at pnuematic. What I need is a small 7"(approx.) cylinder but I'm unable to locate one. Does anyone know where to buy one? I checked farm stores like Rural King, they have only large hydraulic cylinders. What might be better than pnuematic, in this case, would be a electric operated cylinder operated from a simple switch on the tractor. Would one of these be strong enough? Where do you get them?
