I have a 48" Howse rotary mower that I pull with my MF2300. It works pretty good, except the front corners of the sides sometime dig into the ground. I came across two heavy duty rubber swivel wheels that I must have bought a few years ago for another project - and I got to thinking. Could I mount them under the deck in the two front corners to act as guage wheels? I did the geometry and I should have 9" of clear space before I get to interference with the blades. If I set it up right I would have these two guage wheels in the two front corners, and the large tail wheel in the back. Seems like it would not dig in any more.
Is there anything wrong with this idea? Anybody try anything like this? I guess I could get some chains to keep the front from dropping too far - is that the normal way of addressing this issue?
Thanks. Tim
