I am looking for a good 6' finishing mower. Ii have a 35 hp Mahindra model 3325 2WD tractor.
Here are some questions. Are all of these mowers belt driven from the gear box to the mower blades?
How thick should the metal be on the deck?
How important are scalping wheels?
Do I really need safety chains?
Do I want a rear discharge or side discharge?
I have never owned a finishing mower and to my knowledge never saw one in operation.
I own 5 acres fairly level. Some slightly rolling hills. All my property is open no fences to deal with except boundry fences.
I have about 3/4 of an acre with my house and lawn proper on this 3/4 acres.
I presently use a 5' bush hog to do all my acreage except the lawn which I use a Craftman riding mower.
Please give me your thoughts.
Oh here is some more question. What should I pay for a decent finishing mower?
Are there any brands I really need to stay away from?
Is a Big Bee or King Cutter any good?
I know I don't want a Middle Mount Mower.
Thanks for your advice in advance.
