What gear do you mow in?
 

I personally mow in first gear, but I was wondering if any of you guys run in second?

(Using a Cub Cadet 100/102/... anything with the standard three speed)

I mow in 2nd with the 1806 and 44 inch deck.

1st or 2nd, depending on the conditions.

Actually....I mow with a hydro...:Duel:

That all depends on which tractor I am useing.
582-Special = 3rd gear
100 = 2nd gear

My 1200 has gear drive(with the lower gear set in the transmission) and I mow in second gear. I like the whine from the trans as it sounds like an M22 rock crusher tranny. I have been asked by several pullers to swap them the rear since these are the ones they like.

i'm with you bignasty!! 2nd gear with my 1200 44" deck. jeff

I just pull the hydro lever down until I am fast enough. :)

on the deere/farm tractor 5th gear = 4.9 mph, that coupled with the 72 inch deck makes quick work of the main area then i mop up the tight areas with the cc125 and on that i have a 48 inch deck, also have a 44 inch sweeper i just picked up to aid in fall clean up.

could get away with out using the cub but i never plan on getting rid of it, is a solid built tractor made when quality counted, and is a good back up incase of a break down, other people have classic cars i have a classic lawn tractor

2nd gear on my 100 until I get over my septic, then I have to use 1st.
