Mowing How do you mow rough ground quickly?

How do you drink your beer that way?

Here is one way. Larro

We slow down so we waste less time and money on smashed equipment.

Your L3400 has a suspension seat, maybe it is froze up

I have a drag that pull behind mower to help keep the pastures smooth.

Here is my :2cents:.

Four wheel independent suspension, four wheel steer and four wheel drive.


Don't worry about side hills!

Anything steep enough to roll it, I would be too puckered to drive on! :laughing:

Out front 7' brush hog, easy to see what you are cutting.


For grass and small brush, use the 90" Finish Mower out front. Mower Attachment - Bobcat Company

Get the drinking done first!

Disc and drag are the only way to ensure a really smooth surface. You'll have to make several passes to get it done.

Use caution when working on hills. I assume you don't have a tractor yet based on your initial post in this thread and lack of information in your profile. If so, I'd get a tractor that permits the wheels to be adjusted for a sufficiently wide stance to minimize rollover risk.

Good luck.

It doesn't cost a lot to rig up a disc and drag combo. Here's one that I use on my 6-acre hayfield.



It's a 7-ft Towner offset disc that a neighbor gave me (no cost), a few tires/rims from another neighbor (no cost), some chain, a few bags of concrete and several plastic buckets for the weights on the disc (~90 lb each) and that's it. A few passes over the field makes the surface level and smooth.

Good luck

An old 2wd 50-60 hp tractor with a big finish mower works wonders compared to what you're using. Our fields are rough, I love jumping in our 100 hp MF vs bumping along in the 50 hp Kubota. We have used a little 50 hp IH though in years past which is quite smooth too.

That is good for a crop field but what if your wanting to do your yard, wouldn't you need to pack it down some afterwards? I have the same issue with old tractor ruts.

Here's how I put in the landscaping around my house.
1) Plow the area with a middle buster and my Kubota B7510HST



2) Rototill--Yanmar RS1200 48" wide



3) Use my Huskee riding mower and a tire drag to bust up the large clods



4) Use a carpet drag to smooth and level the surface



5) Use water-filled roller to compact the soil



I used the riding mower for the finishing steps since the Kubota has ag tires that would mess up the planting surface.

Good luck
