:congrats: nice work SF. keep those videos coming
 
Very cool. I was thinking today as I was mowing the lawn with my ST/12 how great these machines are. Almost 40yrs old and still gettin' it done. How cool is that? When people drive by and see me working my tractors I wonder if they know how great these things are.
 
Sweet! I want one!

Nice, Looks like it works pretty good. Thanks for the video.:thThumbsU:thThumbsU
Yeah not bad, second time up the driveway you see I started to break traction. I just lifted the blade a little and kept going. That's where the elec hitch is nice.


sometimes 3 hi

Do you use a seat belt ? :D My yard you would need one... :biglaugh:
 
some of my neighbors yards are just flat, so 3 Hi is no problem. and the TSC red metal pan seat hugs the hindquarters pretty well :D

Today 3 low was the sweet spot at about 1/2 throttle. If it's shorter 2 high cuts wells.
 
when I use the suburban its either 3 lo or 2 hi. when I use the 10, I have to use the slowest setting. lol that 10 is reall hard to mow with. all those levers to move lol

Thanks for the vid SmallFry. Looks like the earthcavator works great. Seems like the electric lift is just about mandatory with such a heavy implement.

That thing was harder to lift then the tiller with a manual hitch. I think part of it was because the tiller is higher and the EC is so low to the ground. It's a long lift.
 
Nice clip SF,

VWJake, Im thinking Most people don't think how really cool old tractor's are but thanks to this Forum we all can relate!
I keep having a mental picture of a cartoon, with one guy mowing his yard with a spanking new "Zero Turn 5000" and his neighbor on his completely restored Sears Suburban. They have the same thought bubble: "He's checking my mower out......"

:D

The guy on the Suburban is saying that fool spent how much for that ?? I'd like to see him drag the driveway. :biglaugh: He looks like a baby with that seat belt on. :ROF
