Mowing Boom Mower

[talktomejohnny]

The tractor in the eBay ad looks almost identical to my 4200 (26 HP, 20 HP PTO), or maybe it's a the next size up 4300. That mower would make mowing the scary ditch as I call it easier.

You are having some kinda fun! nice album. Thumper by the bumper.

I think you will find that the 1710 is just too smal both in hp and weight to handle a boom mower. I looked at Boom Mowers for my 2120 (quite a bit bigger than a 1710) a couple of years back and found that there were booms for 2120 class machines.

They cost about $12,000 with a 4 foot cutter head.
