Here I am mowing in just about the wettest conditions I can mow in without getting stuck, in these ditches.I never did get stuck, this time. Although I have been stuck in these ditches twice.

I just bought a troy bilt mustang this year, I only have about 20-25 yards that I do. It should be interesting learning just how steep a slope and how wet a ditch it will be able to do without getting struck or sliding. It has far smaller tires than a commercial mower, but weighs less than most of them. Only time will tell.

@Something2LookAt 4 жыл бұрын

That might be good in the long run. A lighter mower would be easier to get out of the ditch.

Just a question. I see you have an open trailer in Florida. Any concern with the mower in the rain ? Really looking for info on weather you would buy an enclosed or keep what you have now an open trailer.

@Something2LookAt 6 жыл бұрын

Oh, the mowers are designed to be able to get wet. And I like to put my trailer in my garage at night. Enclosed trailers are usually too tall to fit. But I would prefer an open trailer anyway. Just for the open-ness.

@TurfSurfer 6 жыл бұрын

Something 2LookAt awesome man! Thanks for the info. Buying a new trailer soon and also definitely getting a cheetah! If you were to buy a new cheetah would you do the 27hp or the 35hp?

@Something2LookAt 6 жыл бұрын

I will definitely up the horsepower next time around. Keep in mind though, even at 27 hp it's a gas pig. 35 will be worse. But if you're general selection of yards looks like mine, there will be many times when you wish you had a bit more hp. :) And by the way, yes, I've stalled it out. It takes a lot to do it, but I've done it.
