The message
from "seadog" contains these words: I have a Countax lawn tractor and am trying to find a cultivator that I can pull with it. If anybody has any ideas they would be appreciated Countax can only pull a tiny weight, like the grass collector and little toy log trailer they used to sell. It couldn't pull the weight and resistance of an operating set of harrows, and there isn't a PTO suitable for a powered cultivator. (The powered grass-sweeper isn't doing anything like such heavy work as a cultivator) .Quite apart from anything else, driving over broken ground would wreck the low cutting deck and pulleys, and any sudden obstruction to the cultivator would risk flipping the tractor (and driver) over backwards They call it a lawn tractor but its not a tractor in any real sense, just a big red sit-on lawn mower.IMHO you'd be daft to risk burning out an expensive engine and gear system trying to make a very good mower do something it's simply not designed for. Janet. (ex-Countax owner). |
