We are mowing approximately 10 -14 acres with a Bad Boy 50 in. and a Scag 72 in. I have tried several commercial products to reduce under deck buildup and they were so-so. My best results has been from totally cleaning and washing the under deck and letting it completely dry. I then spray a...

I have a 5545 that is about same weight you are looking at. After spending months looking at different trailer designs and ramp combinations I settled on a 20 ft so I would have enough room to keep my hitch weight in a respectable range. I preferred slide in ramps as opposed to ramp gates. The...
