Yanmar 155D 3 pt mower ?

[deans]

I am thinking of purchasing a 48'' 3 pt hitch finish mower for my 155D tractor and would like to ask if any one can comment on how well the cut will be with 4 wheels over the grass before the mower . Also , any model of mower that you would recommend, Regards, deans

I have been mowing with a 5 footer for several years and can't tell the tractor tires hurt a thing. I have had, no longer have, a Harbor Freight 5 footer. I don't remember the metal gauge but do know the Woods I have now is a much heavier built mower. Tires and bearings are much higher quality. I will say I don't think the Woods cuts one bit better than the Harbor Freight mower did. I don't think Harbor Freight sells them anymore. Rambled all that just to say sometimes you get what you pay for but then again sometimes you may not. Lot of help, huh.

Frontier "Woods"GM 1060R 5' 611 Lbs. 1072-6' 678 lbs. 1084-7' 774 lbs. Absolutly love mine. It's BA. esp. with non lift straight blades and R Discharge. Best mower I've ever owned and prob.ever will. :thumbsup: Here's a 5' on a YM2000. I've never seen a 4' Woods but guessing easy 500lbs.

Carey, I purposefully took the lift off a set of my Woods blades, mainly because of the dust cloud in dry weather, but I wouldn't doubt it takes 5 less horsepower to turn them. I really can tell very little difference in the cut. They don't even sell the non lift straight blades for my mower. I looked by length, hole size, etc, etc, finally just cut the high lift off a set of gater blades. Not saying this is for everybody, but works for me.

Yep!! I was finding that out myself when I went to sharpen the High Lift that the LIFT WEARS OUT QUICK!!!!! Sharpen them up and they cut about the same. I believe a Lower grade of metal to make the bend for the lift is why . BUT Boy the local the local JD sure was proud of them at 25$ each. I now why now. I've had them almost 2yrs. with no sign of any wear. May be at the end of the blade which is normal.
