That was a good mowing, proper ground speed and proper RPM on the PTO makes equipment do what they are intended to do. Good job!

For several years l mowed with l call a 15 ft batwing mower cutting pastures and wildlife plots. They had grass feed beef and was constantly mowing to keep weeds down. I got to see all kinds of wildlife. I have spooked several deer fawns and watched bound into the woods. I live in the piedmont of North Carolina. I would tell people what I could mow in 8 to 10 day and they would be surprised at the volume. Also it would depend on what gear you could run in for conditions.

Absolutely! That's why we went with the HX20. If we averaged a steady 3mph for 10 hours we'll cut roughly 65 acres with it vs roughly 50 acres in the same amount of time with the HX15. Well worth the investment to save time, fuel and money!

How many miles are you traveling. Modern tractor tyres last about 5000 + hrs of road work. And at 35 mph it doesn't take long to get anywhere. I know of contractors doing 200 -300 miles a day harvest time on the road. . I see you have dual wheels though. Which we can't use on public roads. It's very rare to see them on tractors nowadays.
