I want to use a flail mower with a 1" X 15 spline shaft on a tractor with a standard 1 3/8" X 6 spline output. Both are 1000 rpm. The best way to accomplish this would be to convert the mower spline to a 1 3/8" X 6 spline with an adaptor. I haven't been able to locate one. Does anyone know of a source?

I use a Woods medium duty five-foot brush cutter, front mounted on an Antonio Carraro tractor. It makes a great landclearing unit because you don't have to drive over the brush before you cut it. The problem is keeping the mower at the right height. Although one end of the mower has the usual trailing wheel, the end mounted to the three point hitch is often digging in because of variations in the terrain. Has anybody seen or made a fully trailing heavy duty brush cutter that is three point mounted? In other words a unit that had caster type wheels all around (not a Swisher, etc.). <br>
Thanks.

Thanks Murf,
I've got a 90HP New Holland, but you bring up some important points. Maybe it's intended more for a 4" tree. I'm pretty far from Texas, so I don't know what land clearing jobs are like there. If I ever get it mounted I'll use it on sumacs, popple and similar fast growing trees. Thanks for your thoughts.
