Mowing with a \"HEAVY\" tractor!!

This is what I mow with. Kioti DK65 with front end loader, minus the bucket, and 7' Landpride finish mower.

See attached picture.

Ok guys in the previous picture, what do you think the entire unit weighs? I'm guessing around 8500lbs. The rear tires are loaded with washer fluid.

This is a picture of my front yard about 12 hours after I mowed it in a light misty rain. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

For mowing with a heavy tractor, I do not think it looks that bad. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

In this picture you are right in line with the way I mow with the tractor.

This is a picture up closer to the house. About the first 10 feet from the house I mow with a 1968 Toro riding mower. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif The rest is with the Kioti.


I can see some tire tracks in this one from me using the boxblade on the straw area and driving out onto the grassy area.

Ok now that I'm done with the finish mower it is time to mow my parents vacant land with my 12' Bushhog.

It is not the best looking mower, but for free I can't be picky. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

It is about a 3 mile drive to my parents property with my wife leading the way in her Suburban.


This is us arriving at the property. I cut her out. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

This is the first path down through it. This field is 8 acres that has never been mowed this year. My brother has 5 acres across the road that is vacant also. I mowed both today.

It didn't take very long, of course I had to stop a few times for adult beverages. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You can see one of the nice houses in the back.

All done mowing 13 acres and this is the pollen caught in the side grilles of the tractor. The other side looked the same.
