    I just bought a troy bilt mustang this year, I only have about 20-25 yards that I do. It should be interesting learning just how steep a slope and how wet a ditch it will be able to do without getting struck or sliding. It has far smaller tires than a commercial mower, but weighs less than most of them. Only time will tell.

    • @Something2LookAt
      @Something2LookAt  4 роки тому

      That might be good in the long run. A lighter mower would be easier to get out of the ditch.

    I see you have concrete over your culverts down there - up here in Maine those parts of the ditches are no-man's land. They fill in that area with big 5" rocks. You don't wanna drive over that.

  • @billh1471
    @billh1471 7 років тому +1

    Try crossing the ditch at an angle. Many fewer passes will be required and less steep angles.

    • @billh1471
      @billh1471 7 років тому

      Go across ditch before mowing the rest too.

    • @Something2LookAt
      @Something2LookAt  7 років тому

      Crossing at an angle would likely gouge at the edges of the deck.

    • @billh1471

    • @Something2LookAt

      Well, down here the guys who run mulching systems actually take them off during summer. Otherwise maybe some Gator blades will help. I run them on mine, but I also have an open chute so I don't know.

    Just a question. I see you have an open trailer in Florida. Any concern with the mower in the rain ? Really looking for info on weather you would buy an enclosed or keep what you have now an open trailer.

    • @Something2LookAt
      @Something2LookAt  6 років тому +1

      Oh, the mowers are designed to be able to get wet. And I like to put my trailer in my garage at night. Enclosed trailers are usually too tall to fit. But I would prefer an open trailer anyway. Just for the open-ness.

    • @TurfSurfer
      @TurfSurfer 6 років тому

      Something 2LookAt awesome man! Thanks for the info. Buying a new trailer soon and also definitely getting a cheetah! If you were to buy a new cheetah would you do the 27hp or the 35hp?

    • @Something2LookAt
      @Something2LookAt  6 років тому +1

      I will definitely up the horsepower next time around. Keep in mind though, even at 27 hp it's a gas pig. 35 will be worse. But if you're general selection of yards looks like mine, there will be many times when you wish you had a bit more hp. :) And by the way, yes, I've stalled it out. It takes a lot to do it, but I've done it.

    • @TurfSurfer
      @TurfSurfer 6 років тому

      Something 2LookAt right on! Glad to hear it from someone who knows what there doing! Definitely gonna get the 35 then! Thank you very much for the info and keep up the great videos!

      It's says 31 hp on it but there was a controversy over hp at that time. I think we've all agreed that it's a 27. But, you can get a real 35 on it I believe.
