Is there a list of good Super GT models?
 

I'm trying to help a friend find a good CC.

I own a 1650.. and know nothing about newer stuff. He would like a box or blade and needs a mower deck. Preferably a large deck.

We are in north Texas if anyone here knows of a good tractor.

He has 3.5 acres to cut. Maybe he needs something bigger than a cub.

3 and a half acres is enough to keep him busy for a while. Just my 2 cents, a Super with a 60" Haban and a Swisher 60" tow behind whould be my weapon of choice. I cut 15 acres twice a year with a Kubota BX 2660 with a 60" finish mower and two 60" Swishers behind that so it cuts 12' at a pass.

Maybe you should get one of these Sam..... Only one engine that way!! :biggrin2::biggrin2:

On a separate note: I think a SGT would be more than adequate. If I'm going to mow 3 acres, I'd prefer a front mount ZTR mower, but you can't put a box blade on them! :biggrin2::biggrin2: All supers are good. Sam likes the "one eyed" ones ;)

I'be got you on the Cyclops ...

What models are one eyed besides a 982?

I'm not sure what you mean on the first half.... But the Cyclops is what I was referring to as "one eyed"... 982's have 2 headlights, they are not a cyclops. Sam Mac's avatar is a cyclops....

Sam Mac likes Cyclops, but, not enough to keep them all!! :bigthink:


There are a couple BIG plus' to a wider deck

One is in error of driving. The amount you overlap and loose each pass is a bigger percentage on a small deck. It seems like a 60" deck cuts twice as fast as a 44" deck. That is hard to believe, until you experience it!! :bigeyes:

Maybe it is the power steering, steering brakes, and more HP!! :Huh:

An even bigger plus is the even result of cutting with a wide deck. I have one deck that is bigger than 60", it makes the grass look like a pool table. The smaller deck dips into EVERY hole/depression. The big deck passes right over. SMOOTH!! :biggrin2:

Thanks for that listing Sam Mac! That kind of stuff is very helpful to some of us newer guys.

Thanks...

I really want to lead him down a good road. Last night I seethe is a 982 forezale close w 54 deck. Says recently rebuilt motor...

It takes me 2hr to do a sloppy job o. One acre w my 1650 and 44a. Maybe I should mark the deck to know where the overlap starts.

It is marked!! :bigthink: On the decks with the loops, the loops are the marks.
