which style do you like better and why?
44/50a, 44/50c, (almost but not quite the same, I know) or triangle?
I am asking because I have each available either here, or not far away on CL// and I have my 129, next in line to hit the garage for its turn at getting TLC// and it's the beginning of winter, best time to build up a deck or 2.... in my case, a derelict 1650 will be donating all of its hyd lift goodies to said 129.
what are the pros and cons of each? (other than center pulley or mule drive swapping, to make one deck fit a different series of tractor)
I like the triangle for "looks," but I am talking in terms of functionality-- suction/ vacuum, quality of cut in equal conditions, ability to "clear itself"/ less likely to clog/ throws clippings furthest clear of chute, etc.
For my purposes, I am interested in "mow and blow" no mulching or bagging.
but I post this for everyone's benefit clearly not just my own.
Aside from the fact that the 44/50 series decks seem to be easier to get blades for (and various levels of "lift") than the triangle decks (duh.. the 44/50 aren't as old yet) my thinking at the moment is it would be a "coin flip" decision if both were available same condition, same price, etc... what are your thoughts? bearings, spindle parts, pulleys and other deck hardware seems to be about as easy to get for one style, as the other....
what are you guys' preferences? and why? different variety of grasses play in? different terrain? or whatever else goes into your preference?
