I'm looking at used AGCO/New Idea disc mowers (particularly New Idea 5406/5407) for mowing my driveway ditch and dike. I'm currently mowing these with my CTV28 and a 5' brush hog, but I'm looking for a way to keep from pushing the envelope on side-slopes especially with the Deere 3720 cab I have on the way. I'm looking at purchasing a used 5'6" mower to use in conjunction with the 3720.
Most of where I would cut is in the 20-27 degree range from horizontal. Reading the literature from ACGO, they call for 0-6 degrees recommended cutting angle. Will running a disc mower at these steep of angles over long periods cause damage or problems?
Thanks.
