What are you mowing with?

[AHS 1,411]

I’m proud of this, a 1973 wheel horse 14 hp hydrostatic transmission, with a 42” RD. All I had to do to get this running is install new fuel lines, a fuel pump, battery and a spark plug. It runs sweet!!

[The Tuul Crib 7,332]

414-8.  And this is what l use some of the time My 1067

Just got done mowing my sister in-law’s place.  She said it was really bad, so I brought “Jane”, my Plain Jane Commando 6 along in case I needed to do any sweeping.  By the way...  I miss having dogs, but I don’t miss all the poop!

 

 

[AHS 1,411]

Nice! A 414-8 is on my list of WH to buy!

[71_Bronco 1,072]

'68 Commando 8 with a '69 5-2362 deck (gear drive, 36" rear discharge)

42" rear discharge. Shes my favorite!

Hey Kev,

how about a sicklebar frontmower on the Horse, 

so you don‘t spray the Poo, just sickle it... 😂

 

I use just my 212 „Allround Workhorse“ with an attached 36“ mowerdeck and an Sweeper behind.

That does all in one.

My main mowers C-120/180 and 520-H both with 48" side discharge decks.

 

 

The 312-8 was used today it moves right along with the 25" rear tires.

 

I used Forest Gump for clearing small brush and around fields.

 

Then the  1958 22" Eddleman for triming and ditches and banks.

I have 4 1/2 acres and mow a little over 2 acres.  We also have 28 acre farm next door with a acre or so. My brother is taking care of it now. I will get the leafs up around Thanksgiving.

Someday Stefan, we don’t want to rush a good thing!

Been taking my WH's work back from the old JD slow but sure. I use a WorkHorse GT '14'-48 'Twingle" lately, with the original 48" the tractor came with. Works great for the few properties I manage. 

[rmaynard 14,893]

1996 416-H with 42" SD deck.

WHERE DO YOU GUYS FIND THESE 45 YR OLD     BRAND NEW MACHINES....???

 

THEY NEVER FALL OUT OF THE SKY AT MY HOUSE........!!!!!!!                               

[Digger 66 3,476]

Main squeeze is an Ariens Z/T .

But my Raider fills in when necessary 

I doubt my little Z/T would pull a 600 plus pound garden cart 

 

Please excuse the new slob neighbor

 Mow with my '82 C-125 and 42"RD.

 

 

The '79 C-81 fitted with '62 sickle gets some use as well.

 

[Sparky-(Admin) 19,540]

 Glad to see a couple of you using other brands  ....I’m one of those guys as well. So probably 70% is done with my Craftsman with a 46” deck and a triple bagger setup and 30% is done with my WH C-105 with a 42SD. 

  That’s my dad mowing my yard with the C-105 last year when I was laid up with a leg infection.

I’m really good at getting off topic here... sorry ‘bout that!

 

I see the twin scheme and single cylinder, but my ‘67 Puch 250 truly is a twingle!  Two pistons, one combustion chamber

It wasn't brand new when I got it. But a little elbow grease and proper lighting makes it look pretty good, huh?

Truth be told, when my 10 year old grandson comes over to help dear old Papa with some chores, he uses my JD X-300.

Next year, around show time, I want to look for a Ranger or Suburban for my boy. I'll mount up one of my 327 decks to it and let him mow.

 

The only reason I don't let him do it already is because his legs are too short to reach the pedals on the 855.

1982 C 105 and an old Toro...

[ZXT 2,394]

I generally mow with my K321 powered C120. Next time, though, the deck will be going on my new C160 to see how well it does!

 

@Stepney Is that an Economy I see in the background?

[mhlmeader 689]

Sold my husqvarna,  gonna start using a little bit of this....and little bit of that....

 

[953 nut 51,656]

My 310-8 with 42" RD is the go-to mowing machine in my herd.

[Retired Wrencher 4,876]

I had this Toro 832 profesinal was the best mower I have ever had. The tranny went on it could not find one Soooo. The cub is a new VERY light duty auto. Second year mowing  with it. I am starting to like it.
