I use a Mott 60" and I added castering gauge wheels to the front and then extended the 3pt hitch arms by 6 inches and made the top pin connection so it would float. I set the height by moving spacers up and down on the front gauge wheels and set the rear roller for the same height. I simply let the mower down and with the front caster wheels and rear roller carrying it,I don't have to raise it till I get to a mighty sharp turn and the mower does a good job of following ground contours with out scalping. I added a short curtain made of thin vinyl belting on the front of the drum housing and a long curtain on rear of housing that touches the ground and it doesn't sling grass when cutting. I have used it in place of a finish mower for the last 20 years and only turned the blades and sharpened them once in that time. I cut 3.5 acres with it powering it with a John Deere 650 compact diesel tractor.. Gene Davis
