Ummm, I was responding to Eisboch who made a statement about commercial
mowers vs. residential mowers.


While I am inclined to agree with you that in HK's world, everything he
possesses is special, better, and more liberal than yours and mine, I
truly am interested in whether commercial mowers spin their blades faster
than residential ones.

Despite your shade tree mechanics opinions, I can assure you that they do..
I have a friend who has a similar designed residential rated mower. *(these
are the type
that you operate like a Bobcat. *Your sit on it and drive it with two levers
that control hydraulic motors).

His doesn't come close to the Scag. *You can tell just by the sound and by
how finely it chops up the clippings. *Plus, I can go through foot high
grass and the mower doesn't miss a beat. * His would stall.

My nephew mows a lot of yards and cemetery's he has a big X-mark with
I think a 28 hp v-2 Kawasaki. It's a yard chopping speedster.

I have a'47 8-N ford with a PTO driven Woods RM-59 mower, Even though
my folks aren't living, i still keep the property (about 4 acres)
mowed. it got away from me this year because of all the rain, so my
brother brought down his John Deere 4020 with a bush hog and knocked
it down first. Then I was able to take care of it with the 8-N/Woods.

Poor 8-N's. the PTO drive is a joke and It won't take down foot
tall without bogging and squalling the belt, but once down. Even
though my nephews Xmark will blow right by it, the 8-N/Woods mows
well for maintenance.
