 Topic: Finally got to put Lena to work
Posted: 17 Apr 2012 at 3:51pm |
Yea, I know, no pictures. I hooked her up to the old JD gyromower and mowed my mulberry , I mean CRP patch. Some of those things were 8 feet tall and there was chunks of wood flying around that were an inch in diameter and a foot log. Only one hit me from behind but lots of trees snapped back up against my right calf after being bent down by the rear axle housing. Got her all dirty but she runs great and the gov catches right away when you load her up. If it weren't for 2 armstrong steering and hand brakes, I might have taken the flip camera with. Just didn't think I would have enough hands.  Maybe when I get the hood back and put on, i can get some pics.  2nd gear did a nice job but when I got in the canary grass I had to take half a swipe cause it was set low on some stop blocks on the cylinder. Maybe I need a live pump on her so I can raise the mower up once in a while

you need a helmet cam. ~$200 and takes xlnt video. brand name "hero"... just a very small camera with a head strap (and other mounts). used a lot in low budget video production.

I have always thought about that too charlie, flyin debris while choppin away. I think flail mowers fit in the same category. Those WCs sure have a snappy gov. too!

I'm sure Lena is happy to be working and doing her job. The hand brakes do sort of hinder the picture taking -- wonder why? LOL
