Last year I had the weedcutter on my LL 2110, and that was nice, great, fun, etc., BUT: I thought - this would be great on a hydro. To be able to creep forward and back off ion an instant, to go in and out and back and forth along the edges of the fields.

I think the designer of the weedcutter had to have been dreaming of a hydrostatic drive. Perfect match.

Well, I got my weedcutter set up on my spare 3212H now, and its everything I could wish for.

Except now I will have to go hunt down another hydro tractor, as this was my last spare.

If you have just one hydro, mow with it. And yes, there are two rows that you can put pins in as stops. t worked super today.

I have 7 vickers, 6 runnning strong, and 4 Sundstrands, 3 running

and non hydro's. 725, 2010, 2110, B210, 3012V, 3212V, 3315V, 3415S, 7016-6, 7112H, and 2 Sovereign 18 V-Twin Hydros

Wow, thats 21 running, more than I thought.

I see...so the manual lift has a pin or bolt to hold it at a max-lowered position? That sounds perfect! I've always thought the Weedcutter was one of the finer operating attachments, but my only hydro is a dedicated lawn mower and now has that darned FEL in the way...Otherwise, I'd love to try the cutter on the 'H'!

You only have 7 or 8 hydro's I wouldn't mind having there, Larry =]

Thanks, I think this is close to the cats meow. And there are plenty of weeds here!

I have my manual lift set so it is about an inch when on level ground. Works greatand I just left it there full time today.

There is a "Hydroglut" here... LOL I have Vickers in 3 x 3212H, 1 x 3314H, 1 x 3415H, 1 x 3416H, and a Homelite T-16H. And this 3212H with the weedcutter is the only one without power lift. :) Thats 7? Good number.

I dont count the 4 Sundstrands in later tractors

That's a very nice setup Larry! I could see where hydro would be ideal with the Weedcutter, but there's a hydro drought around here. =[ Makes me glad I grabbed one when I did last year.

I do prefer hydrolift when I use a cutter...mine will really roll some sod if it's left on the ground when turning, and I try to minimize the wear on it and float it an inch or so off the ground. I miss running it...nothing 'weedy' is growing around these parts this summer.
