Just a quick review of my new Kunz Engineering MR55BE tow behind rough cut mower with some drone action!

Thanks for the video; just ordered a 44" one for my tracked ATV - will be using it for 9 miles of xc trails - some very steep. Also have the option of pulling it behind a tracked Kubota RTV. Got electric lift kit; remote clutch; flat proof wheels. thanks again for your video.

You won't be disappointed! The only thing to consider is making sure your electric lift cable doesn't get caught under your mower when you're towing becomes articulated. I've gone through cables so far..I usually set the height for my mowing, then disconnect the cable to keep it from getting sliced in half.

Fun to watch it go through the thick stuff at full speed. I mow an empty lot in our subdivision with their finish mower, and pulling it offset under the trees makes the work so much easier. I know my finish mower is a beast, and I suspect the rough cut is as well. Thanks for the footage!

Glad you enjoyed the video and had a similar experience with your finish cut mower. I managed to knock out about 60 acres that day and the land is really starting to come into focus. About the only gotcha was that shortly after the video was shot, I managed to get a portion of the hydraulic lift power cable under the deck while mowing, cutting a section to pieces, effectively preventing the deck from lifting. I'm sorting out a replacement cable as we speak, but just something to be aware of!

Wow! You got a lot cut this weekend. Looks a lot better after the cut. By the way, nice drone pictures.

Two years later, still satisfied with the purchase?

Definitely. The only change I've had to make is to replace the pneumatic tires with the solid core ones to eliminate flats (which I'm recommending everyone do to save doing it later). Other than that, it's been a great piece of equipment.

Great mower and looking for one to cut around 11 acre pond . That field though bro😮 you need an actual tractor
@ExpeditionOverlanding3 ай бұрын
Yeah. I have every intention of getting a tractor and a shredder at some point, but until I can build out there, I don't want to leave equipment outside in the elements. In any event, I've been able to cut around 65 acres with just the tow behind mower and my RTV.

@@ExpeditionOverlanding that's pretty impressive and you got a lot of patience. I about went mental trying to cut my field with a 6' bush hog. Trying to keep a manicured look around pond so looking at alternatives other than a bat wing mower
@ExpeditionOverlanding3 ай бұрын
@jasscarborough Yeah. Using a tractor and a bat wing limits your speeds to ~6mph. With the tow behind, I can get up to around 11mph cutting speeds with my RTV.

@@ExpeditionOverlanding so I was considering getting a rough cut mower like the golf course uses . Cut deck 15' wide but I haven't really seen many people use that for my application. Any thoughts on that ? The pull behind mower would be used to hit pond edges and not worry another getting stuck with my four wheeler

@@jasscarborough Kunz sells both a rough cut (which I have) and a fine cut tow behind. Is this what you were considering?

Cool video! What is the name of the song you used? It would be a good workout on treadmill song.

Nice machine! .. You have enough land it's probably better to get a small tractor with a Finnish mower and pull your drag mower. Reduce the hours on the utv. Some utv's cost as much as a tractor to maintain.. lol good video!!
@ExpeditionOverlanding Жыл бұрын
There's two challenges I have with a tractor: 1. I have nowhere to store it on the property and I don't want it just sitting out in the elements. 2. Most tractors operate between 6-8mph when using implements. I can run up to 15mph with the RTV when mowing, cutting the time needed significantly. The only downside, as you pointed out, is putting so many hours on the RTV vs a tractor.

Whoa! 60 acres mowed with a UTV! That’s a lot of mowing. How many hours did it take to mow 60 acres? Nice video.
