Yeah your not supposed to use sulkys with gear drive walk behinds. ..both these machines came with a sulky. .they are durable , but stupidity can break anything.

I have been using a sulky with my 1998 snapper pro 48 inch.
The peerless gear box is tough.
The only part that breaks on them cost $20 and takes 30 mins to fix.
Took 12 years for mine to break the shift fingers. All the gears still look new.

Here's my 2 walk behinds. The Bobcat has a blown gearbox. .got it cheap..the Howard Price has a good gearbox. I used these mowers 7 years commercial 20 hrs a week, after they were used about 6 yrs commercially daily...the only thing that's broken has been the starter *** on the Howard prices Kawi
, and the coil on the Bobcats 15 command.

I have 2 exmarks, one is a 27hp 60" and the other is a 23 hp 50" (i think) Just wondering if any of you have ever hooked two of them together to make a really wide cut? I'm wondering about how to disengage the pulling tires on the smaller mower? also what type of hitch hook up would be best? thanks!

Just what would you be doing? Pulling the second mower? Just how would you make any sharp turns? It sounds like a great idea for long straight cuts. Maybe put the mowers side by side and bolt the two center axles together and just steer the outer axles. I have learned years ago that anything is possible with enough money, time, and skills with cars and motorcycles so why not mowers. Would sure like to see some pictures if you come up with something because I like your idea.
