Free Range Wheel Horse!

I picked up this C-141 hydro several years ago with the sole purpose of plowing a small suburban driveway, a task she's done perfectly.

 

This summer we dropped a camper up on some remote family property in Maine. Previously the lawn had been taken care of by landscapers, but I saddled her with a 42" rear discharge deck and took over 3 or so acres, including some paths through the fields for the kids.

 

Needless to say she has performed flawlessly.

 

I tried to research this but couldn't find a firm answer: can I stick a 60" deck on C-141? The attachment mechanisms look the same to me, but I'm sure one of you knows conclusively.

 

Thanks,

Jon

It could be made to fit.. just change that front axle.

A 16hp Kohler will swing a 60" with a manual trans.

A 14 with a hydro .. I dont know. Would be awful hard on the engine.

Thanks guys. I certainly don’t want to push it. Found a 60” gang reel tow behind. Going to experiment with that. 

Any recommendations on what spacers/mechanisms to get to convert to rear duallies? I have an extra matching set of rear tires/wheels and have always wanted to try it out.

I don't think that's the type of mowing a reel mower is designed for.  I would suggest a pull behind self powered rotary mower, maybe a 48" or more???  You would make quick work of the 3 + acres of grass with the C-141 and a pull behind unit.

Totally agree, ronhatch. I'm mowing a normal lawn not seen in the pic. The pic is just a fun pic of the tractor in the field below the lawn with some paths maintained by my 42" deck.
