I want some kind of finish mower for my super A, and I need advice regarding which type to get: a Woods belly or use the 3-point set-up? (My SA already has a 3-pt. hitch.) I can see where each might have advantages and disadvantages, to wit: Seems the belly would allow you to mow a little closer to shrubbery, fences, etc. but has limited ground clearance for loading tractor onto a trailer. Also, it looks like something you would want to leave on the tractor because you sure aren't going to install or remove it in 10 minutes.
The 3-point mower would be a dream to attach and disconnect from the tractor. Probably be easier to do maintenance on the mower also(?)
My biggest concern about the 3-point finish mower is the off-set pto on a SA. I've heard they can be rough on the pto shaft u-joints when mowing. Is that a legitimate concern (the off-set)? Also, I'm sure the front of the SA might get light with a raised up 5' finish mower on the back? Lastly, I suppose you can't mow quite as close to shrubs, etc. with a rear mounted mower - and you would also have to watch for the swing out when you turned(?) Those of you who mow with a SA - please tell me what you recommend. Thanks. Mike
