JOHN DEERE MX10 MODS

[Brown Dog]

I just bought a New JD MX10 cutter to replace my MX6 :dance1:



I'm sold on the sloped DUAL layered top deck, blade speed & rear tail wheel design.

I don't like the front chain setup though (borrowed pic)



I'm in the process of cutting & fabbing front chain bracket to have chains Strait across the front jus like the New BH 3308 :



Pix to come when finished.

What is the advantage? I bought my first ruff cut mower this summer so i know very little about them.

I fail to see the advantage?

I took my front chains off. They pushed and kept stuff down and the blades couldn't cut as cleanly. No problems at all this year and I don't miss them.

It'll let you mow up a little closer to objects & not have thin sheet metal to get folded double If / When you hang something.

Really no advantage but I did it for looks lol

I wanted the chains because twin spindle cutter blades are throwing grass forward in center of deck the way they turn opposite directions.

 

[DT86]

Having a straight chain will allow you to mow closer?

 

[Brown Dog]

Yea like closer up to a stump your straddling or a tree / post right beside your rear tires with cutter being about 2ft wider on each side.

I took my front chains off ....

Do you have a Twin Spindle cutter ?

 

[DT86]

Cool, I'd like to see that. Be sure and show us all some pics.

We love pics!

Gotta paint, bolt it on & hang chains :
