Super nice Kubota excavator

This entire site is overrun with obnoxious opinionated boors with no self filtering skills and no ability to consider any point of view other than their own.
Kind of like the world we live in.

Sad but true Rick.

Just looking at the pictures it appears to be 5/8" chain? Or maybe 11/16" chain? Sorry I don't know what that compares to in metric size.

Up to 52" mowers, it's 1/2" grade 80 chain. 52" and above, it uses 5/8" grade 80 chain. The bigger heavier duty mowers will use 3/4" chain 80 chain.

Using chains, does eat a fair amount of HP. This also why we run mowers as wide as the tractor or often a tad smaller. I can bog down my 35hp tractor with a 4ft mower in very dense and tall grass if I want too.

For reference, a 50HP tractor will run a 5 ft chain mower and may be able to do it with all the 4 chains on. Using a blade mower, that tractor would most likely run up to 7 ft or so.

Makes sense. It has to beat the material into submission rather than slicing it. Thanks for the guidance on chain size!!!

I wonder if a 2 spindle mower (Bushhog #3008) would work? can't see why not as the blades can swing but only on "plain".

And neither does "the other guy" and then you both bring it down for everyone else. Take the high road.

I just did... Both are now on ignore. Easy peasy.

I understand. So if a post is reported it goes straight to MC? You or the other Moderators don't see that report?

I very much doubt that!
