No, no lawn mowing! I mow 50 acres of desert cheatgrass (awful stuff) a couple times a year to minimize fire danger. Just wanted to point out to the OP what happens when you use a rear-mounted mower. With tall cheatgrass, a day or so after mowing it's all standing tall again where the tractor tires had pressed it down so the mower couldn't get to it. And I have to use a rotary mower because I am mowing uneven desert with what seems like millions of ground squirrel mounds, badger holes, etc., that just destroy anything but a heavy-duty rotary. It would be nice if I could use a side-mount sickle-bar mower, kind I operated as a kid, but they don't mow dirt very well.....
Have you tied a fail mower, I thing you would be pleased with the results better than a rotory, because even if the tractors tire smash it down the fliles will pick it back up, and cut it, it has a vacuum effect as it passes over the material to be cut.
Thanks for all your comments......Sammyb, Flail mower hands down.
Thanks, now I need to figure out which knives to order[emoji16]
So the guy I bought this mower from said I needed to remember to check the oils in it.
Ok so I just fill it up through the valve on top of the gear box
Do not completely fill the gearbox. There should be a plug about half way up the side, the gearbox is full when it runs out the side plug.
Usually there are three plugs on these type of gear boxes. The bottom one is a drain, the middle is the fill level, and the top is the fill hole. Remove the top and middle plug. Fill through the top until fluid flows out of the middle.
