What are you going to mow with it? I own a 1560 and it's a good unit but not heavy duty. After 12 years of mowing fields once a year, so maybe 40 hours of mowing it's pretty beat up. I have a couple of slices where the blades came up and hit the deck and cut through it. So if your mowing field crass and nothing else and there are no surprises in the field it will be ok. I had a tree on the side of the road, the town decided to take it down and the bucked it up and left it on the ground in the field. Well that stuff is hard to see when the weeds are 5 feet high.... Made one **** of a noise... If I had to do it again, I'd be looking for a flail mower.
Regards,
Chris
