Hi , New to the forum here and looking for any input on this machine , I run a 52 Ex mark 28 hp
w/ mulch kit and a 36 Wright Stander 17 hp back yard machine both bought new here in the Tampabay area , The JD I am looking at has been stored for 5 years in a pole barn has 33 hours and is Mechanically
excellent , some stiffness from sitting but greased up all the spindles and visible zirks and she works and cuts fine , love the speed and quiet power but it is set up for side discharge and i must convert that quickly to a chambered mulcher or at least a mulching plate with hi lift blades that is one thing i need advise on and another is the hydro lift deck is their a locking up feature i can not seem to find one
seemed odd but will prob install an emulator to slow that feature down some i am pretty used to foot raising the deck on my ex going over obstacles , roots ect without raising the deck fully and leaving a high spot , The mower was exercised during storage so no fuel issues and obviously will be changing all fluids
I cut a couple yards today with it one tall Bahia and man i miss my mulch kit i had so much "cut on top
i had to run my little mower over it to mulch it , is their a good chambered system for the 60 or an equally good plate ? any quirks or known problems observations would be appreciated.
Thanks Capt Bob
