I took the new-to-me Caroni TM1900 out for a spin. Just a shake down cruise.
I got some lower bushings to make it fit on the quick hitch and used the y-yoke adapter on the top since the TM1900 isn't quick hitch compatible. Kinda fit OK.
Well, the mower seems to work just fine. This is my first PTO powered attachment, so it was a learning curve. Getting the PTO attached was more work than it should have been. Wouldn't slide together and I thought I was spinning the shaft to get them to align, but apparently not. I gave the PTO clutch some power so it would stop in a different location and it slid together just fine. Live and learn.
The first thing I did was check for PTO interference with the quick hitch. Yep, that don't work too well. I can't lower the flail all the way without hitting the PTO on the top cross bar. Darn! I went out and cut some briars with the flail floating a few inches off the ground. Worked fine. Not bad for a used piece of equipment. Looks like I need to find a solution for the PTO/quick hitch interference or run without the quick hitch.
No pictures. I'll see if I can work with it some more tomorrow.
