finish mower compatibility

[stormpetrel]

I'm looking at a Yanmar 48" finish mower model YOM48 serial- 274
Can anyone tell me if it'll fit my 2210D? It was on a smaller machine; it attaches to the 3 point hitch, yet is a belly mower.........didn't know they made such a thing

It should fit. It probably will require a new belt. The old one may not be the right length for your tractor.

Thanks! The guy selling it wants $500. Seems a little high to me (for a 48" deck), but I love the idea of a belly mounted mower only two inches wider than the tractor. I do have some tight areas to mow that would be tougher to get to pulling a mower.............

The YQM mower comes off & on quickly, which is a nice feature. $500 is a reasonable price for that mower. They are no longer available new.

Len: I now realize the price is good; I didn't understand that belly mowers were that much more expensive than tow-behind 3 pt. mowers. Before I make a deal with this guy, how certain are you as to the mower working on my tractor? I realize there are no guarantees, just looking for a little reassurance

do you have a mid pto? isnt that how it turns?

 

[stormpetrel]

No, it runs off the 3 pt. hitch, and is belt driven! New to me too......

Similar to the old cub belly mowers.

In your location it doesn't get much softer or sandy soil than that. So you should be able to leave it attached. It has been posted that having to remove and install it can be troublesome. I have family in CT. and been out to Rodmans Hollow I believe as a kid Yrs. ago :thumbsup:
