Re: (ET) Mower deck

["Christopher Meier" <mr23 mn rr com>]

Has anyone evaluated modifying these decks to 'conform' to the ground?
I've considered hinging it at two points, for 3 sections.  The idea is to
avoid
scalping high spots, or leaving long grass in small depressions, or at the
base
of hills that have a fairly sharp transition.  (Yes, my lawn has many of
these
features!).  Just a thought so far...

I've also considered putting a spring below the mower deck on the front
castor spindles to smooth out the deck movement on bumpier ground,
and to reduce transmitted forces to the deck and castor mount.
