Do you still have the pic?? If you use the upload feature on the new message screen you can upload the pic right from your hard drive to lawnsite.

Curious to see.

Well, it worked when I first posted it.

I have tried the photo uplink several times. It wont work for me.

Looks like I need to find a new photo hosting site.

Discharge? Right out the back! NICE setup! What horse is rthat, close to 50? I would guess, judging by the size, that it would be around 40 or so.:)

The Boomer is a 35 h.p.
The cutter is a Woods 7 foot. Rear discharge. The loader helps balance it when I load it on the 25 foot beavertail trailer.:)

We only have one, and we actually use it more for grass than brush. You can't kill this thing, cause if you can, we would have already. We back it down the banks of grass lined ditches so we don't ruin our batwings. We use this one mostly on the airfield to get close to the signs and lights the batwings can't get too.

Sammy,

That set-up looks great. What's the make of tractor...Boomer? Do you mainly do field mowing? How much area can you cut in how much time... with that set-up?

How much would that same set-up (with bucket) cost new? Or maybe something 3-5 years old in good shape?

Sorry about all the questions... but I've been thinking of getting something just like that...

Thanks

[B]Sammy,

Sadly enough, (for us NON owners, the cost of a used machine, that is just a few years old, is REAL close to the cost of a NEW machine. That's the beauty of it for investing in a tractor of this type. The resale value is incredible. You really don't lose anything, when you consider the use you get out of it. I would LOVE to have a machine like this, but I just can't swing the 16 to 20 k right now.:rolleyes:
