I am looking to buy a rear mounted finish mower this spring. I did look last summer at Bushhog, KK, and Rhino, but did not buy due to several reasons. Biggest being I have not used a finish mower before and did not want to make the wrong purchase for my needs. After reading a lot here on TBN, I have determined rear discharge and pneumatic tires.
Having seen a lot of good feed back on TBN about Land Pride started looking at there models. Having only seen them on there web sight, looking at there spec's, looks like the 35 series FDR 3590 is the prime candidate to look at.
With this mower being 90 inches, I am concerned how well it will handle on minor uneven ground. My land is mostly level but not perfect.
I looked at the 25 series, but the spec's are rated for a max of 50 engine horse power and I have 55. I'm think this would work with the shear pin or slip clutch set up correctly, but I'm not sure or willing to find out the hard way.
Does anyone have any experience with this or another rear finish mower this size? Also what do you guys think about a 50hp gear box on a 55hp tractor?
Thanks!
