Took the WD out to the ditch with the 172 mower today since it finally dried up. Took a little video of it in action:


Had to use an impact to get the drawbar bolts out and replaced them so I could set the bar back far enough to use the mower. I think I need to lower the hanger pins another notch next time, as when going up or down a decent valley, I could hear the PTO shield occasionally smack the top of the hitch block.

Thanks! Oh yeah, when you get in the tall heavy stuff, you can feel her pull hard and the governor kick in.

I used to run this on my other WD which has an M&W piston set in it. You can definitely tell there's a power difference between the two, as this one is stock as far as I know.

tractorboy -- Thanks! Yeah, I really wish something could've enjoyed this lovely grass for grazing or if I could've cut and baled it or something.

ACinSC -- You're welcome! Was overdue to set up my tripod and try to take some video. Hope to get it back out sometime this fall as well.
