Tow Behind Mower Decks

Tow behind mower decks FARM HOME Lawn Mowers (31h,38) 17-1-16 In past issues FARM SHOW has featured a number of innovative home-built gang-type mowers. Now an Illinois manufacturer is introducing new commercially-available tow-behind mower decks that double or even triple the cutting width of your existing mower, making maintenance of big farm-yards much more manageable, says Gary Kunz, of Kunz Engineering, Inc. "They provide you with a state-of-the-art wide-width mower that compares to commercial rigs that cost $15,000 to $20,000 or more. You can hook on one, two or even three of our add-on mower decks when mowing big open areas and then pull a pin to disconnect them when you need to get into tight areas. However, these mowers are very maneuverable when working around buildings and trees so in many cases you'll never have to unhook them," says Kunz. The three-bladed 57-in. wide decks are powered by 12 1/2 hp. Tecumseh OHV electric-start engines. Cutting height adjusts from 1 1/2 to 3 lain. There are four anti-scalp rollers in front and two in back. The two rear transport wheels are fixed while the two front wheels are cantered. The tongue can be mounted on the right or left side of the deck so you can position a pull-behind mower on either side or gang them together on one side. Can be used behind any type of riding mower, garden tractor, small utility tractor, ATV, etc. Sells for $1,695. An optional model fitted with a 12 1/2-hp. OHV Kohler Command engine sells for $1,995.
