As I was mowing today I got to wondering, on a small hydro (like ZTR size) does running slow heat the fluid up faster versus going fast? Clearly the load and amount of work is a defining factor, but if that is all equal which heats the fluid up more, full tilt or half speed?
Also, many moons ago I remember that Grasshopper brand mowers used a shallow lug ag type tire. Dos anyone have experience with them? With all of this rain I get stuck at least once each time I mow. My ZTR is set up just like a Grasshopper - deck, drive wheels, then a dolly wheel. I thought about switching to something like a shallow ag bar but I thought that might tear up the ground a lot on turns. These tires are fairly worn anyway, so I need to do something.
Can you tell I am bored and ready to get into the field - I am pondering the lawn mower!

I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
