Tow behind finish mowers

[coldsteelva]

I had a sixteen foot Alamo Tow behind Finishing Mower. When I first tried it, I felt like a real cool hand, then promptly side-swiped the garage and tore off some batons. Not a good match for close quarters.

It can be done fairly easy on level ground where you won't be turned by the RFM weight on a side slope. I'm able to get fairly close to my chicken pen and <knocking on hard head> haven't struck it yet. When you have any mower hanging out back you have to be very deliberate about your planned route and turns. My old school MT-180 with a simple Woods 60-inch RFM has a turn radius of an International semi

I have often thought about running an offset finish mower behind my bx2670 with MMM to increase coverage. I have several acres of open ground without any obstacles to go around. My thought though was to also run the rear offset mower from the rear PTO since I already have an old 3pt finish mower I can use. I realize power would be an issue but if I am just using it to maintain an already "tamed" area I think it could work.

Quoted wrong post, sorry.

Can you run both PTO's simultaneously?

I assume I can from the look of the PTO controls. I may be wrong, I am sure someone here will know.

I have an EA Phoenix 7 foot finish mower for my Kubota MX5100. Does a great job and my kidneys like it better than a zero turn. It mows plenty fast and is a big time saver.

I have a 7 foot finish mower for my tractor, works great but my zero turn rides smoother than my tractor.
I can mow at speeds with the zero turn that would knock a kidney loose trying to mow at that speed on the tractor.

Yep, maybe so?

My B7200 can run both PTOs at once. From the looks of your controls I'd say you can too. My little B7200 lacks the power to do it, but I'm thinking a B2670 could do it.

It's a BX2670.
