That all said, even that 65 may not play with the 6' hog in all conditions especially if a hd one. In some conditions you may have to take less than a full cut, or alternatively use some of the really slow gears that that the 65 does at least have.

Thanks, My Ford2000 is a 4 gear and I have to do 1/2 laps to keep RPMs up. I only get to bushhog about once a month if that often. I have no clue what people are talking about rolling backwards and "multipower". Are you saying the high/low gear ranges go out? I am a flat lander, no real hills to speak of. As far as power steering. I'm pretty sure it does NOT have it. Neither does my Ford. Can I not drive it with the brake pedals like my Ford?
