Well, I used my weedcutter on my Sovereign after measuring and figuring out I needed a 152 inch belt to power it off the mid PTO. It actually worked very well. Cut for 90 minutes for a friend who moved in to a new house and the previous owner had given up mowing most of it. It cut through grass and brush taller than the hood. I took a satellite view and outlined in red everything I cut down. Lots of fun seat time!

| I was thinking of trying to get a video clip while on it, but maybe next time. The ground I was clearing was so bumpy that even crawling I needed to pay close attention with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the speed control. I can't believe the abuse I put it through this time due to the ground being so bumpy. At one point the front right tire dove into a big hole and the left rear tire came off the ground, yet I was able to still back out. I was being careful but when clearing tall grass that you can't see obstacles under you just have to take it slow. I know mowing gets 'routine' sometimes but I always try to dial the attention up to 11 when using this thing. I need to get a quick video of it though..... |

| Jon, I need for you to come down and do s first cut for us on a lawn we decided to start mowing that hasn't been mowed in a year. Full of vines and bamboo shoots. I as hoping to get my sickle bar adapted to work n my 916h but alas that is not happening now. Besides I now need the 916 H for lawn mowing. |

| My Weedcutter doesn't have that bar upfront, nor does it have a spot for it, mine is just flat. I can see that helping a lot, I might need to add one to mine. |

Ok, couldn't resist. Before I have to take it off to mow I took my oldest daughter, Emma, over to the tractor show grounds to get some more photos and a video.
And the video on youtube:

Sounds like you need a brush hog or maybe a DR brush mower. |
