Rotary Cutter OK which rotary cutter...

<font color="blue">Crazy as it sounds, the Deere MX5 seems like the best deal, to me.</font>

You'll like the MX5 Mike. It's a nice medium duty cutter that the LX units are not. I think you'll be happy with it.

Fully configured, write the check price for KK is $1000 for me. That's $400
less than a MX5. $100.00 less than M&W.

I haven't seen any LandPride around where I shop.

KC Canary is a little far to drive /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif But it might be worth it...

BTW I am pasture mowing, not reclaiming the jungle...

Well, Here is where it stands:

LX5 at $1050
LX6 at $1200
MX5 at $1350

Both include chain guards, slip clutch and are put the door, write the check prices.

I agree the x13 series were junk. But the LXx look like good mowers...

But the MX should last forever....

.......and if not forever Mike, then it should last a very, very long time assuming you don't mow too many rocks. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

which dealer is that and where abouts is it? my dealer wanted for a LX 4 w/o slip clutch was 1042 and the lx 5 was 1140 w/o slip clutch. i think slip clutch i'm guessing is 100$ i could get one from that dealer cheaper even paying ~75-100 shipping and come out ahead.

I realy like the LX's rounded shape and the guard configuration. Looks like a winner to me.

Well, Corriher is out, they don't do chain guards...

<font color="blue">Chain guards are not offered at this time. This cutter has an extended lip that covers the blade an additional 4". Thanks.

But, wouldn't that mean it doesn't need a chainguard?

Maybe Not...

But I have other issues with this one, It still might be a great buy... I just don't want to chance one sight unseen. Another poster got a reply that they are built by First Choice. But, First Choice is no longer MidWest, so who knows?
