Scalping Rocks 2016...
Well campers... I finely got the mower deck dug out and mounted on my JD tractor.. Mowed the entire yard..
Actually this is the second mowing.. First one was much earlier with the Cub Cadet mower I maintain at another place I take care of.. The Cub Cadet is a lawn tractor, 25hp air cooled gas twin, hydro, 46" deck and no power steering.. Beat the snot out of me to mow my rock pile of a place with it..
My older JD is a compact tractor, 25hp diesel 3 cyl water cooled, about 4 time the weight of the lawn tractor.. Hydro, power steering, 60" deck.. Much better ride, easier to move around... The Cub Cadet could not get into or out of very few more tight spots than the compact tractor..
I should have been on about the 3rd or more mowing as the Indian Paint Brush flowers were almost knee high.. But it powered through with ease.. Next mowing will make it look a lot nicer..
Take care..
