Ok, I know its to cut grass. But why is 1000's of tractors with belly mowers? Growing up in Western Canada never seen tractors with belly mowers. I was born in the middle 70's, everything out here pulls from the hitch, & 3pt hitch wasn't very common either. After WW2, my GF started farming his 5 quarters with a H. My Dad has picture of him @ 2yrs old on it. That tractor is long gone, so we need a mower to cut the grass around the shelter belt. The typical lawn mower isn't going to cut grass out there. I used to collect toy tractors as a kid, always wanted to go to Dyersville IA. So we found a H with a belly mower in southern MN. Has an Artsway mower, went to Armstrong IA to get few parts, then onto toy show last November. So after my long winded story, what was the purpose of tractors with belly mowers? Did people really cut there yards with this type of mower? I have been to all lower 48 states, the Midwest farm yards don't waste any yard space that could be field. These mowers are finishing type mowers, so the clippings would be too short to do anything with after. Yards in Western Canada would be great for a mower this big, as it takes about 6 hrs to cut our farm yard. Thanks.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
