    Mower Questions

    Thanks for the reply, Pete. I am talking about a bush hog type cutter, not a finish mower. My Jubilee is in excellent condition, full power from engine and hydraulics. Think it will handle a 6 foot cutter OK? The limiter chains limit the distance that the lift can drop toward the ground...

    Mower Questions

    What is the correct size 3ph mower for a Jubilee - 5 foot or 6 foot? Also, will I need to use a limiter chain? Thanks! Cal in TX

    What do you think of these mowers?

    Colin - We've had a JD Gyramor on our farm since 1972. We cannot wear it out. It gets at least 60 hours of heavy use every year and I swear the only thing we've replaced on it are the blades once and 1 U-joint bearing. Keep it greased and lubed and it will last forever. I never saw anything...

    Horse Nettle

    Today was one of those days you dream about in East Texas - 70 degrees, light breeze, brilliant sunshine, not a cloud in the sky between El Paso and Texarkana. The air was so dry that the sky was almost navy blue. I got on my Jubilee at 8:30 this morning and except for gas and water breaks...

    Every time I mow my pasture I am joined by about 30 egrets who feast on the grasshoppers that I stir up and one big beautiful hawk that sits high in a walnut tree and watches for field mice and such. Last weekend after a few minutes of mowing I noticed that the hawk had joined me as usual. She...

    Help Cure my Absentmindedness!

    Saturday morning - 6:45am. It's a beautiful East Texas morning, not too hot, just gorgeous. I do a full grease job on my NAA, put in 5 gallons of fresh gas and away we go to the back pasture to mow. With every round I am enjoying it more. The day is perfect, the tractor is purring like a...

    Should I Run it Dry?

    This has probably been asked a thousand times before but I can't find it so here goes: When I finish with my NAA I always shut off the gas feed from the tank, however, should I let the tractor run until the gas is gone from the carb or should I shut the tractor off and leave the gas in the...
