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.- Hide quoted text -

I LOVE my Ford 8n! If the belt is squalling that's nothing to do with
the PTO.

No, The belt I'm talking about is on the Woods Mower itself, not the
water pump.

The mower has a HUGE belt that wraps around a large drive wheel for
the blades. Here's an example, Loog. *Actually I think it's kind of a
silly design, but hey. You run what you brung....

That's a strange thing. Mine just has a driveshaft with universals at
each end. No belt.
