Difference between pull, lift, and semi-mount cutt

My FIL just bought a semimount JD MX10 rotary mower. You can buy them in pull, full mount, and semi mount. Pull hooks to the drawbar and lifts with rigid mounted wheels on a rockshaft on the mower via a cylinder. semi-mount hooks to the three point and also has two caster mounted wheel on a rockshaft on the mower. To lift, you raise the 3pt, then lower the wheels. ful mount is lifted completely off the ground by the 3 point hitch.

2. Lift type; full 3pt hitch mount with a linkage to the tractor that will raise the sickle bar higher.

3.Pull type; These are full trailer type of mower, either sickle bar or rotary. They also use a remote cyl. to raise or lower the cutter.

4. Mid mount; these are mowers that mount under the tractor, both rotary and sickle bar. This sickle bar is particularly useful for mowing fence rows, ditch banks etc.

Hope this clears things up for you. LE

this would be a semi mount MM UM-5 mower. Bolts right up to the drawbar.

Ah, the good old days.....

semi mount is mounted right to the draw bar of the tractor and the bar will have some type of floating devise on it.

lift is three point mount.
