In the spring, many of us have to cut wet lawns/fields/improved pastures and all. If using a typical 3 blade manufactured deck (welded not stamped) it is a big mess under there. I have 3 ways of getting at mine but surely there is a better way. Yes I've seen the one that the deck tilts up and think that's a super idea. Just doesn't have spring suspension so my newest one is a Ferris without the feature.
Yesterday I took a few pieces of PVC and made a triple head squirter that I just slides up under the machine, one "fan pattern" head per blade, turn the water on, get in the seat, turn on the PTO and have at it....is the plan.
Haven't used it yet but surely it will work to some degree just as the deck flush ports work to some degree....have that too and not all that great...reason for the different approach.
Community water station sets dynamic water pressure at around 60 psig. PVC is rated for 250. Wondering if there is a sensible garden hose to garden hose electric booster to run me up a hundred # or so. I have an electric clearwater centrifugal pump but it's only rated at 30 psig...HF special for irrigating from your pond water. Looking for 5 gpm capacity rough estimate.
Thanks,
Mark
