LOL. I need to put a disclaimer on sig line!

In all fairness, I did "tune" the 1050 as best I could.... but it's still just a stock 10HP.....set to run rich with some minor governor mods.
I keep the blades on the 50C sharp and clean it out after every mowing.


George is right though. They aren't the best decks. The later high lift decks on the cyclops series are better. Honestly, I think the old triangle decks cut better, or at least as good. The triangle and the "C" decks neither do very well when you are cutting more than 3" of grass. They tend to lay it over because they just can't spit it out fast enough.
