    Tri-Moto 125 engine cooling question

    So one more question I have about my Yamaha, I have a tow behind field mower and would to use my Tri-Moto 125 for pulling it around an overgrown pasture when the snow melts. My question is this, Will pulling this mower around in 1st and 2nd gear for maybe an hour or more hurt or overheat the engine? Or do I have nothing to worry about?

    I certainly wouldn't do it on a 100 degree day haha. But if you're jetted a little on the fat side on a 65-75 degree day with a few cool down periods, I don't see too much of a problem. I would pick up a couple of those thermal strips or an inferred thermometer to keep an eye on it. Is this an industrial mower you're pulling?

    How heavy is this mower?

    If in doubt, air on the side of caution... take a break half way through and let it cool off.

    It's one of those Swisher 60" rough cut mowers. Not clue how heavy it is, this pasture is very bumpy and my garden tractor gets stuck and hung up on the bumps

    The big thing is tongue weight for these machines, and as long as its minimal you'll be fine. Does the mower have a swivel wheel up near the front to help support weight?

    No it doesn't have a wheel up front. I found whats left of a sticker on the trailer hitch and it says, "Maximum Tounge Weight - 15 LBS. Maximum Load Capacity - 360 LBS"
