3-point-hitch 72" Finish Mower Recomendations ?
Original Message Jul 1, 2005 5:35 pm

Hi...

2 1/2+ acres to mow... flat... few obstacles... 25 PTO HP compact tractor... mow every three weeks or more... 6-8" tall sometinmes 24"... wet or dry... previous hay field... gotta' mow when I'm there... it's out-of-state... go there for the weekend...

Looking for advice/opinions/knowledge of 3-point-hitch rear-discharge finish mower decks... got prices on Deere/Frontier... Woods... Landpride... so far... have not seen any of 'em...

Some are "residential" use... more $$$ for non-residential... I like to over-buy and under-use... if the price difference isn't too much...

I'll guess they are fairly similar in performance... but wonder on price differences...

Residential... Landpride Woods Deere/Frontier(made by Woods)

Model

$$$ ...out of time !

Dave...

Actually, I have a HOT DEAL on a 48" walk behind, just needs some TLC.

"Do you have any obstacles that may get hit?? "

Only new ones that haven't been hit before...

Sounded like a close job.

Good luck with that mowing, I'm sure it will be a blast when a few guys come around.
