Do More Using Attachments and Implements

With the standard mid-PTO, the mid-mount mower attachment is the best choice for mowing an acreage. Consider the rotary cutter for clearing undeveloped property. See your local dealer for more options.

A mid-PTO is standard on 1000 platform mowers, making it possible to use a mid-mount mower.

  • A mid-mount mower, also called a belly mower, provides superior maneuverability for mowing efficiently around trees, buildings and other obstacles.The mower’s drive-over design makes it quick and easy to hook up.
  • Mid-PTO also powers front-mounted attachments, making it possible to combine two tools on one machine – one in the back and either one in the front or a mid-mount mower.
