HEAVY DUTY FINISH MOWER? 8’ WIDE, 5 BLADES, SOLID RUBBER TIRES

[@michaelmartin9618]

The finish mower looks solid and well built....... but your baby girl is a beauty!

[@d.a.ballou9740]

I love your 4 legged helper/supervisor! 😁 She's pretty stinkin' cute!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

haha, yeah she is :)

[@dwayneloftice2326]

Courtney....outstanding assembly demonstration! Looks like an outstanding product. Del Morino has an excellent reputation for their products. I'm leaning more toward a grooming mower vs flail for my needs. Love the greasing system included. They really thought this one out!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks Dwayne!

[@scott5609]

Thanks for the video Courtney. I am really interested in this. I'm ready to trade my tractor in but if I can get this to work on my 1025R and cut my mowing time down. It would be great is there a video of you using it

[@bryanworth8292]

Cute cute pup Courtney . Pretty nice lookin mowing machine too.

[@huxleyhornm7405]

Wanted to see it in operation…….looks really well made.

[@henrymorgan3982]

An excellent real life "unboxing" of a mower. My wife wanted to know the breed that June is. She is a doll!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks Henry, she's an English Cocker Spaniel!

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

Great video! Nice looking mower. Looks well built and easy to put together. Hope it cuts as good as it looks.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Did a great job on the bit I cut tonight :)

[@jacksonnicholaus601]

Nice finish mower! Love the easy access zerk fittings. Nice Kershaw too...

[@andybonneau9209]

What a cute dog!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks Andy, she's great :)

[@EricEdstrom]

I bought one of these beasts from GWT. My 1025r has zero problems managing it. Three point can lift it if you give it enough throttle. You have to consider your approach to larger bumps and steeper swales carefully, but on the flat it's just pure productivity enhancement. I have miles of nice grass trails I can do in one pass now. Rear discharge is new to me and I really love it. Been thinking of getting a Ferarri decal to put on the top ha ha.

[@dstafford2200]

Good looking piece of machinery would be nice on the property especially for around our chainlink fence on the outside pass we do.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks, first use tonight and worked well!

[@mikerequa820]

As always great video!!! That has some nice features sure like the central grease zerks looks like a well built finish mower that be great that can use it with 12 hp pto sound awfully low hp looks a lot like a caroni finish mower I use to have believe it was made in Italy. Can't wait to see how well it mows. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun

[@williamriley2528]

Need to pre-grease those bolt threads that go into the mower deck housing... you'll be glad you did someday down the road...

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Will keep that in mind, haha!

[@rfb7117]

Most important question to me, will you be able to mount it to your quick hitch. I have everything I use set up for my quick hitch except my post hole digger, and will not use anything that does not adapt.

[@Jasonrcsd]

I don't see why it couldn't be mounted to a quick hitch. i have a similar 6' finish mower that I installed bushings and use my quick hitch

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haven't tried yet, but not expecting it to fit

[@timothywoods8170]

Nice job 👍🏾

[@SoManyDogs]

The technical question I’d have before investing in…um…this unit…er…PUPPY!!!

[@joshgreenfield62]

Looks like a nice mower. They make an adapter for the quick hitch so you can use a finish mower on it. I have one on my speeco.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, I'll see how that goes for me

[@Adam-t5j1n]

Whats it called i cant find it

[@Jasonrcsd]

nice video! doesn't look difficult to install. Looks very heavy duty! Really like how they ran those grease lines! I have a Farm King 6' Finish Mower and set the depth spacers so that its about 4" cut. It matches my John Deere D130 riding lawn mower which I do the outline stuff with. Would love to have that 8' Del Morino Finish Mower! Would cut down my mowing time significantly for my 7 acres, but for whatever reason my Boomer 40 will get hot in a short period with the AC on and pulling my 6' finish mower. It's fine without the AC, but I'm all the time having to turn the AC on/off which becomes a pain mowing 7 acres and defeats the purpose of having a cab.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks, it went pretty good! That's no good about your tractor issues though...I've been there!

[@simpleman4196]

I have been interested in getting a finish mower. I have wondered though if it is something that I could use on land that I only cut two or three times a year. Wondering if it would leave a nice cut at least better than a brush hog on 16 to 20-in tall grass.

[@Jasonrcsd]

My personal experience says you will be fine. I have 5 acres that was probably 24-36" tall. Had no idea how my 6' finish mower would work. If I could I would keep my 5 acre lot next to my 2 acre house lot looking like a golf course, so a nice cut / finish is important to me. I watched a lot of videos, read forum comments etc and they all said a brush hog would be better. So glad I got the finish mower. After i mowed our lot, I got several requests to mow other peoples 2 acre lots with tall grass. If I were to do it over and was looking for a finish mower, I'd get the biggest I could find and would work behind my tractor. If you have the tractor, I'd get one of GWT's 8' Finish Mowers. Cut down the time a lot.

[@kdegraa]

@@bruce2900 we’ve taken the baffling off our finish mower when mowing tall grass. The grass will not be as finely cut but the deck does not get constantly jammed with cut grass resulting in smoking belts. I’d recommend raising the deck when cutting really tall grass so the cut grass falls down below the spinning blades. If a better cut is needed then do another cut at a lower height.

[@starconqueror]

I don't think you would be happy with a finish mower. My brother took my king Kutter out in tall grass and first thing he did was fry the belt. You might look at some videos on flail mowers, they seem to leave a more manicured look and handle taller grass much better plus their drive line (belts) are much tougher.

[@kdegraa]

@@starconqueror we are happy with it. We have an orchard where the trees drop nuts on the ground that are then picked up. The grass needs to be mowed for the harvester to collect the nuts. A flail mower would crush the nuts with its hammers. A finish mower can mow the grass above the nuts. No tool is perfect and we will get a flail mower one day as its needed to crush the left over nuts and stuff after harvesting has finished. In regards to belts frying, we removed the covers of the belts the belts can be seen along with the pulleys. Since we've done this and also removing baffles and guards, its been cutting long grass, like six foot high grass, without breaking or smoking a belt.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I'd not want to treat this as a brush hog....too rough on it

[@kylerayk]

Don't you have a tractor with a set of pallet forks sitting around the shop somewhere? Great video and looks like a well-built implement. Nice that they put a central grease manifold on it.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Somewhere! But, one of those things that you get it done by the time you would go get the tractor and forks over there...just a pain :)

[@kylerayk]

@@GoodWorksTractors Ha Ha! Since I got my tractor, I use it to lift all manner of workpieces to a comfortable height. I lift nothing anymore!

[@wizard_of_poz4413]

I really wish you could still get a side discharge finish mower anymore

[@Panhandlehomestead]

Very nice been jonesing for a video!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Good deal!

[@travisricks3436]

I heard Del Morino makes good stuff.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

[@Classifiedreality]

Thank you sir, 🚜👨‍🌾🚜

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thank you :)

[@staceygandy2009]

That's a nice deal. Finish mower, a dog, and a DeWalt impact! 🤣

[@steelgy]

Is there an option for tall cut up to 6”?

[@The1025RChannel]

Even if the 1025R could lift it I wouldn't use it. That's a big mower on the back of a small tractor and the front end is going to get light and make turning more difficult. My 6' LandPride finish mower is a bit much for my 1025R at times.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Only during transport. It rides along the ground while in use.

[@weeway2007]

If you do have to shorten the PTO can u do a video of that

[@csmeyer24562]

Very Nice Shop

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks!

[@harveydoyle7970]

What state and city are you located in?

[@staceygandy2009]

Kidding aside that looks like a decent finish mower and probably alot less money than a woods finish mower!

[@wizard_of_poz4413]

Yea but you buy a woods for the same reason you buy a kubota, you know it's gonna perform and that you'll be able to fix it anytime because parts are everywhere

[@robertlandry762]

I bought one of these solid machine I cut a 60 acre area every week commercially the only mistake was selecting the air filled tires should have got solid rubber. The air tires are only tube type 2 ply. It pulls nicely. A 25 hp tractor would pull it nice product

[@ericgebhart5775]

Do you think a 72” would be too big for my 4010 compact. It’s 14 pto hp. I will be using it to mow my one acre lawn. Grass never gets too long. Thank you.

[@bortonfamilyfarms6094]

I’m not a expert but that sounds a bit mismatched. I have 22 PTO hp and run a 60”. I still bog it down in tall grass. But one important note is your mower should be wider than your tires. So if you have a 66” tire width then get the 72” you are just gonna have to mow slow

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I don't think so, you'd be good. I wouldn't go super fast with it.

[@09X19]

Do you have a flat yard? I have a 60” RFM on a b2301. It handles it fine in medium range but will struggle a bit on small moderate hills. Need to use 4wd often wet or dry.

[@flash1259]

Maybe it's just me but, that setup seems pretty big for a one acre lawn. I've got a 3901 Kubota and a Rhino TM84 but, I wouldn't use it on my 2 1/2 acre front yard. I do use my 61" Bad Boy Outlaw XP though. It could be that your yard is enough different from mine to make a difference. I've got 14 fruit trees and a whole bunch of other things to mow around.

[@ericgebhart5775]

I had a lawn service but got out of it after last year. I did keep one zero turn. But I wanted something as a back up in case the zero turn goes down. My yards is flat other than my sand mound. I mow it very often. Was thinking of. 60”. But I see a lot of 72” models for sale. I’m sure that tractor will run it. I do have a 3520 Deere I could also use it on. Ok guys. Thanks for the info.

[@steelgy]

What is the cut height min….max in inches? 😊

[@samirmiketek494]

I think you assembled the wheel holder on the right side wrong (front side back) but all in all it's nice looking mower.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Good catch, fixed that today!

[@ingcampthree4523]

[@zacharybeavers6221]

Could you do a comparison between this and a flail mower with the y blades?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah I will for sure at some point

[@BobsOutdoorActivities]

Heck of a machine. Looks very well built. How long do you think putting it all together including grease and adding oil? Very well built and great video showing detail. PS: Dumb question: why wouldn't it ship pre greased?

[@matthewgroff433]

Depending on how they are shipped it can be considered a fire hazard, so most manufacturers do not pregrease. Another one of those safety regulations!

[@Curious_Skeptic]

Pretty impressive! 66" model is what seems most brands are missing. 72" too big, 60 too small.

[@bortonfamilyfarms6094]

I absolutely agree. My wheels measure 62” end to end. So a 60” is to small. But I only have 25hp so a 72” is really to much. I bog down my 60” in tall grass

[@Curious_Skeptic]

@@bortonfamilyfarms6094 I'm shocked 66" isn't a standard for all the 25HP machines! I'm thinking of just going 72" even if it takes two passes, you are covering a lot of ground. I have a 54" MMM, and will NEVER EVER go MMM again. My back can't take more of messing around under a tractor just to hook up a deck!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Hmm, already a lot of options...as a dealer, more models is more cost...tough enough as it is, haha!

[@jamiegrace9662]

You can use a floor jack to raise the mower then put it on blocks!!

Yes, if you have floor jacks. We aren't fully moved in yet. I've got stuff in 3 different locations.

[@robertlipscombiii1801]

[@kipcudd7253]

Could've turned that shipping frame upside down and then set the mower on top of it, frame had legs on it.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Well why didn't you tell me earlier?

[@kipcudd7253]

@@GoodWorksTractors I noticed it when you took the plastic off and I used to work for a New Holland dealer and we used to use those shipping frames to set up equipment on. There's a dual purpose for everything plus we used the metal to make things in the shop to make life easier. I'm surprised I noticed that frame when I was watching, I'm 67 and don't think as good as I used to.

[@starconqueror]

I bought same brand a few years ago. Did nice till I was backing under a tree and somehow it managed to jam some grass between the blade tip and back flashing jamming the blades and burning a flat spot in the belts. Poor setup for changing the belts, very difficult with the gearbox mounting. At least with king kutter you pull a couple bolts and the hole assembly tips up to get the belt in. I got the belts which was another ordeal but they've never been put on, it's been in the shed ever since. I have a couple deere's that mow much better.

[@kdegraa]

This year we bought a similar mower made by another Italian brand, Muratori. It’s belt adjustment or replacement system is pretty good. Loosen four bolts holding the gearbox and centre pulley in place, loosen the adjustment bolt, let the centre pulley go forward. Then take the belts off. There is easy access at the top of the deck and good visibility. Belts are easily bought for my deck too. A local auto shop sells them.

[@jaiveerbains8000]

How big of a finish mower can a tractor with 20 pto hp. The tractor is a LSXG3025.
