Taking a break...

...I would think you could buy one of these brackets from KK.....and it may provide some solutions for others. I sure like mine....so I thought I would post this...

The problem I had is when the link you've shown that is pointing UP flips down and rams into the "A" frame... Granted you have 2 bolts holding the top of the "A" frame but you get the idea (I hope).

My MX6 has "knee-action pivot" too. That plus hydraulic top link for when I cross my emergency spillway on the pond dam. I'm considering getting an additional hydro top link without check valves so I can float it, best of all worlds.

teg, glad to see the Piedmont broom straw grass knocked down. Looks better and is not a fire hazard. Only downside to mowing that stuff is I have to blow out my radiators with air when I'm done, lots of dry stuff.

Field looks great! Your break was a success :thumbsup:.

Exactly ...it will keep that sucker from rattling your cage...

I feel that the ROPs will stop it just in case it does happen

My KK rotary cutter came with a knee-action "pivot" affair to attach to my top-link. It allows the cutter to lift up about 10"+ to clear obstacles.....but limits the cutter from lifting too high. You can pick up the cutter...just like with a top-link.

I wish I had a better pic.....also, it would be easy to make one of these.

My cutter has a pivot in the two rearward "down" straps.

On a side note: Those R1's look unusually large.

Those are r4 tires.. Industrial....

They look like they are the size of R4's, but the treads look like AG.

Yea...
I have the 3400 and the industrials for it and the 2800 have that look..
The ags are skinny...

Now I see that the rear treads seem shallow like R4's, but the front treads still look deep.

...It sets the cutter height and keeps that sucker from coming up ... with out it it can roll right up your back side.

I look at mine without the toplink like a tow behind brush cutter... just can't imagine 3 to 500 (???) pounds getting kicked up like that. It's only grass...

I think you are talking about the green tractor photo... and RT is talking about the orange ones?

Hey Pete, the truth is I have to blow it out several times when I mow. I over heated my tractor twice... I don't plan to repeat that mistake a third time!

 

[DRL]

Understood ... I was backing into some brush a hidden object apparently hit the stump jumper and before I new it ... well it was up again the back of the tractor with a destroyed PTO shaft. Lets just say I won't do that agian.... Top link is always in place.

I use the same set up as teg except with a L3400. If you notice, with the quick hitch the RM CANNOT come up more that a foot or two, it will hit the QH at the point where the hook usually goes.

And I the orange... Is there really such a beast as a green tractor?


Or is a green one what happens when an orange tractor gets sick?
