Re: I\'m looking at kingkutter ruff cut mower.
I paid $499.00 for a 48" early this spring at the TSC in Kalamazoo MI. They are now tagged at $599.00. I assumed this was the result of the steel price frenzy. Funny thing is, I think they are the exact same units that where there when I bought mine, and just haven't yet sold yet.
BTW: The thing has worked just fine for me. It is a bit loud and sometimes feels out of , but it does the job.
