Already asked Greg about cutting me a new center piece for the mule on the water jet!! He said drop it off and he'll get one cut. I told him to make three! Now I just need to find out about the other part for the PTO and have him cut it to.

Hehe
That's great! I will see what I can find out from Joe.

Can anyone explain why a front mounted deck would be desired? I am not being obtuse but genuinely trying to understand where it would be better than a mid mounted deck.:beerchug:

PM me your email and I'll send you some more pictures of the mount and PTO set up.

How about pictures for ALL of us to see.

I can only speak for myself. I have a modified 50C deck of which I added bracing and front casters, that has added weight to the deck. As the older I get, I am finding it harder to install or remove the deck in a traditional way. Lately I have been jacking up the front of the tractor to handle the deck. Seems a front mounted deck would be a lot easier to install and do maintenance. Just my perspective.

In my case I'd like a front mounted brush hog or flail mower.

Another benefit would be getting into some corners or tight spaces, you could push that deck right up to or even under something whereas a traditional under the machine deck wouldn't cut it. I bet you could even raise that front deck higher than a belly mower so you could potentially tackle some taller weeds/brush easier with it. :beerchug:

YUP...lots of additional benefits.
