Yippee! Now if only the manual itself shows up here for purchase, someday? ;O)
Have had the 6' model for many years. Pretty much know how to do everything, but a copy of the manual would be nice. Saw one on Ebay last year, but never bid on it.
My Jubilee handles the 6 footer with no problems, so would think any other 30+ HP tractor would too? Doubt that extra foot of the larger version would cause any major problems, unless one was trying to wade-thru some extremely dense brush at too high of a ground speed?
With a Kubota or that Ford 2000, I'm thinking controlling a proper ground speed wouldn't be a problem, like it is with the Jubie.
That part of the brocure about one man changing "blades" in a half hour, is a tad optimistic. I've done it several times (used to drop the blades and sharpen on a bench grinder). Much easier just to roll the beast over a bit and sharpen them in place with a little 4" offset grinder, while holding each blade in the left hand with Visegrips. That's my opinion.
Thanks for the brochure. Don't post much anymore because I primarily go online via AOL/Verizon DSL and it's a PITA now. Have to log-on directly via IE on DSL, to post.
