(ET) Re: Reel Mowers (was: 2 mower deck questions)

[Tom Coate <tcoate coate org>]

So has anyone tried a gang reel mower with an ET?  They do seem to be 
readily available, for example:

My familiarity with reel mowers is limited to the many hours of my youth 
I spent with the kind you push yourself.  I'm wondering if a towed gang 
unit would be the ticket now that I'm "graduating" to a new house that 
has about 5 hilly acres to mow.  Just wondering how well these work out 
in general, and how they might do behind an ET?  Would it be faster than 
mowing with the standard ET deck?  Or would I just wind up at the bottom 
of the hill unable to get up again?
