[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1058831, member: 14713"] More thoughts about tractor vs mower size concerning road ditch and other steep grade mowing: I pretty much steered with brakes ALL the time with the Major/6' mower. And I only mowed on the RH side ditch because only the left brake worked on the tractor. :shock: The 9600 has a 9' Waldon dozer permanently mounted. Even with the weight of the dozer out front, I still had to use brakes a lot to steer the 9600. But I could mow either side of ditch any way I wanted to, because both brakes worked good . ;-) I mowed the road ditch this year with the Kubota after I I put the loader back on the Kubota. I don't even have to use brakes on the Kubota. I have mfwd but didn't use it. Might have had to use mfwd in leiu of brakes if I didn't have the weight of the loader out front. The GX cab cinches the deal that the Kubota will be my mowing tractor from now on. :nod: A couple weeks ago I even took the Kubota to church and mowed the cemetary and church grounds. Another benefit I see of an 8' mower would be I could safely mow closer to headstones. 8) [/QUOTE]
