Where do you store it on the tractor ? Nice mower ,i need one of those .Longer Log Chain
At my age, conservation of your energy and time starts to take priority, so to save those otherwise unnecessary treks back to the tractor when you stopped just out of chain's reach I purchased a longer chain today. As a bonus it is actually an upgrade from my old chains with it's nice looped end.

I don't know what to upgrade next, the tractor or my labor pool. Probably, the labor pool; it's not likely that I am going to drag my new chain through the bush.

On the 6410 John Deere we have we use to use a 8 ft flail with a hitch that would allow it to be lifted and be pushed away from center to the right. Our 30 horse that's narrowed up for Christmas trees we use a 48" Rears flail talk about a heavy duty unit.Nice setup ,is there a front end loader on it ? I need a bigger chassis tractor ,just have a 21hp tractor right now
Yup. Fitty horse with pretty strong hydraulics. Not built as well as a kubota or better deere, but priced accordingly.Nice setup ,is there a front end loader on it ? I need a bigger chassis tractor ,just have a 21hp tractor right now

Mowing in a dust cloud at 100f is worse than a wet ass. In tx, a cab is called a "gentlemen's tractor". The AC can't keep up, but it's much better than the alternativeWe have a mahindra dealer where i get hay and stuff at ,the enclosed cab ones look nice for wintertime work .nothing worse then a wet ass from a soaked seat .
I made one from a small lift boom ,tongs hang from it ,i got my skid loader wisvonsin engine rebuilt ,do i have been mobing logs with the forks on it ,i can do much more work fast with the forls and no dirt gets ground into the logs ,nect time i have the boom on will snap a photoI thought I would wrap it around my homemade front weights for additional ballast. Of course that raises the issue of now where am I going to carry the 3/8" chain that I actually use. I guess I'll wrap it around the carrier in the rear. BTW how is your grapple project going?
The mower is 84" and is a well built Italian job. But on sharp turns, it has enough momentum to slide the tractor sideways - really bad when wet. I have a 72" of the same brand and design but it doesn't have near the heft.
Jon has the set up for getting the job done. It takes me so long to mow that I have for the last several years let my side yards grow and be cut for hay. This year only got one cutting and no more expected with all the heat so I had to break out the mower again. Our town has a 12" rule. Hay crops excepted.

how is visibility with dust on windows ?Mowing in a dust cloud at 100f is worse than a wet ass. In tx, a cab is called a "gentlemen's tractor". The AC can't keep up, but it's much better than the alternative
Front and rear is fine, cause it has wipers/fluid. You can't just lean over and check out u'r clearance, but I will never buy an open or a 2wd tractor again. It's also nice when a branch whips the **** out of the cab, and you know it would have been u'r face, or something thumps hard on the roof, and you know it would have been u'r dome.how is visibility with dust on windows ?
