tractor width vs mower width

[schmism]

boggen,

Please show us all a mower, other than a very expensive 15'+ commercial model with hydraulically driven blades, that would allow this.

ummmm all of them? the PTO shafts are actually at a HIGHER ofsett angle when the deck is DOWN than when the deck is up. So the decks will run fine when up or down or any place inbetween. If you ever watch the highway guys, they just pick a wing up when they come to the signs/markers, drive forward still spinning, and drop it back down and keep going.

A note about the offset, You can move the one 3pt pin to the inside of the attachment frame to get more shift out of that side. IE if your are shifting to the right (pass side) then put the right 3pt pin on the inside. this moves the right 3pt arm farther toward the center so that it can "shift" farther right. Generally the arms will swing toward the middle farther than they will to the outside. In other words, what limits the mower from shifting is the right, is the right arm runs out of travel before the left arm does. (the left arm can come toward center a lot farther than the right arm can move outward toward the tire)

pull a pto shaft off, one of the wings that you want up.

there be a few bat wing setups. were an entire wing is removed. and a blank / cover is put in the spot of were the wing was.

An offset flail mower is another option and cheaper than a batwing.
