Art, you are doing really well with these two-for-one shots. To continue: is there any clutching necessary with the GST transmission? How would the GST perform when using the MMM as compared to the HST? I simply have had no experience with a transmission like that and cannot quite get it together in my head. You can do it though~:-)
Seems to me that with loader work and mowing the HST would be the best choice but my lack of knowledge of the GST is showing here. Thanks.

Murf: thanks for the reply. As a follow-up, do you weld the "propellers" to the cutting blade or just insert them at right angle (perpendicular) between the blade and the spindle with the same bolt that mounts the blade? In this manner I wonder if the blade mounting bolt is long enough to mount both prop and blade securely (they are special shouldered bolts--its getting more complicated isn't it)

Of course, they could be placed parallel (sandwiched) to and on top of the cutting blade also.

I assume that the metal for these "propellers" can be thinner metal that the blades--say maybe 1/8 inch compared to the 1/4 inch thick blades.

My mower is a Kubota G1800 diesel engine powered 48 inch cutting deck. I use it to chop leaves after I have hauled them to my "chopping ground" and spread them out about 6-12 inches deep. By making 2-3 passes over the leaves in REVERSE I get them to the size I prefer prepatory to composting them or using them as mulch. More suction and air flow would seem to aid this operation.

Thanks for you help.

Chief, what is a "tricycler kit" and what does it do? I am very interested in "processing" leaves & pinestraw.
