Its springtime and a man's thoughts (speaking as a nearly 60 year old man) go to mowing grass and cleaning up property. I have the following mowers:
38" BCS lawnmower with bagger
34" Palladino flail mower used
30" BCS sickle mower
A 28" Zano brush type mower is on its way to me
The 38" lawnmower, 34" flail mower and the 28" brush mower are used with a diesel 853. A Honda powered 737 runs the 30" sickle mower.
The 38" mower does a good job cutting a lawn. The bagger attachment makes it easy to drive the rig into the garden and dump out the clippings for weed choking mulch during the spring and summer.
The Palladino flail mower with "Y" blades is good for cutting and mulching tall field grass and small saplings. I hired a fellow a week ago to clear out some land that has Kudsu vines, briars and brush. Flail mowers and vines don't go together at all. This is why the brush type mower was ordered. Nonetheless, the areas without Kudsu are now looking great like a country version of a city park.
The sickle bar mower is mounted on the 737 and it is a good tractor/mower combination because of the way the reversing level can be easily engaged. I run the mower in 3rd gear with the engine just a bit above idle and can shear off saplings up to about 1.5" in diameter. It is good for safely trimming heavy brush and small saplings alongside a creek running through the property.
I look forward to running the 28" Zanon brush mower. Will let you know how it does with Kudsu vines and how where stuff like sapling chunks gets thrown out of the mower.
