Can you get a Belly mower for these? If so are they PTO driven (rear PTO)? Thanks, any info will be appreciated. Maybe us Compact ford guys have our own personal forum?:woohoo1:

For a belly mower you have to have a mid-pto installed. I know it can be done on 1220 and 1210s. don't know about 1700.

Ok, thanks Ill check it out!

Surplus Center (link here (https://www.surpluscenter.com/home.asp)) has some belly mowers that seem reasonable. I wonder how much work it would be to rig one up (assuming things turn in the proper direction).
