will a M7060 handle a Howse HD 10 bush hog

   / will a M7060 handle a Howse HD 10 bush hog #21  
I run a 10' Woods on my 7060 no problem. I do mow some terrible hills sometime and I do it slow, like 3rd gear in low range on the uphill portions in heavy stuff.

I finally got the Howse HD10 yesterday and took it apart. There are left and right set s of blades and the last person to put the blades on got the sets mixed up so on each side you had one blade cutting with the cutting edge and one blade wacking with the back side. I bet it was cutting like crap before the gear box went out. I bet the operator hit something with the reversed blade and instead of cutting the object the back side of the blade hit it and exploded the teeth on both sets of gears.

GFot the mower put back together today and tried it out. It cuts as good as my new LP72" finish mower...at least in my hay field. It seems to wobble the tractor a little, not bad but I know its running. I put one set of blades north to south and the other set east to west , is that correct for a dual set of blades? Here are a few pics. bh2.jpg

I run a 3200 lb batwing on hillsides with my M6800 4WD with duals. The 7060 should have as much or more hp.
