small mowing rigs???

[XLS]

going off what you have just said , they have lasted 500 hours in a season and a half and they are perfect so who is really to say they are any less of a quality machine ,ours are the 7021RB's there is a good chance they will last another fewhours lol none have had any work as of now and are fine.

disposable was the plan as well if i cant find a sulution in the walkbehind catagory lol which was my plans remember lol

[XLS]

see personally from my business stand point they could replace the units weekly if needed and the new crews would still make a profit so if we can ,lets get back on our topic . what is your proposed 32'' ?????

[XLS]

You ought to be able to find several units. I know Toro still make em, Exmark likely does as well. The cheapest you'll find are made by Redhawk for a tad over $1000.

As I said, plenty to choose from, and that's just some of them....

[XLS]

OK so you are calling it gear drive when it does have a belt to slip in the turn ....right

[XLS]

then what is the direct drive type transmission that is like a limited slip deal........these are junk

[XLS]

you in here? now i am on the same page what can you personally tell me on the belt drive,gear drive units

[MASTERMOWER]

these are junk

As are the $350 Husqvarna mowers you're currently using..........

I have a belt driven 36" Metro that won't slip, even when mowing in rain. You gotta know how to adjust the belts.

Go with the 32" Stander then. Twin pumps and motors, compact size.....but I doubt you'd like the price.

[XLS]

no no i am refering to the homeowner type deals where there is no beltss to squeese you simply have to push it around , i think crapsman ,cubcadet and a few others make them they drive system is what i have heard a s gear drives. i looked at the link you provided and we call them belt drives and they are ok . so now i am on you page what canyou tell me about using these geardrives like you posted

[XLS]

i take it you use the gear drive with the belts what can you say on them .

[MASTERMOWER]

I'm not some mower expert....????

Any of them will work.....what more do you want me to say? Time for me to hit the sack.......:alien::alien::alien:

[XLS]

[XLS]

[MASTERMOWER]

Perform a site search on belt drives....lots to learn throughout the archives. Goodnight. :alien::alien::alien:

The $350 21" mowers are cost effective if they just last one season. About .35 cents per hour in a 30 week season. At only $350 each you treat them cost wise like a brush cutter or backpack blower.

What XLS needs is to have a local metal fabricator make a prototype of a fold up hitch carrier that would be around 48" (I picked 4" to make it easy to cut the expanded metal) wide and 33" long to hold two 21" mowers.

I would make sure that the back of the carrier has brake lights and turn signals and reflective tape.

Depending on the mowers the total rear overhand at the handle is going to be close to five feet which is the legal DOT overhang limit. I would also cover the mower handles in red reflective tape.
