A rear mounted mower is a bit more difficult to use than a midmount, but the easy of attach/detach makes it worthwhile to me. I just treat mine like an implement that can't be turned, such as a plow. This means instead of mowing in a rectangular pattern to it's conclusion, I mow around the perimeter to get manuevering room, then I start mowing in parallel strips, just like plowing. You end up making a 180 deg turn at each end, but you don't end up with a bunch of missed strips like when you cut a 90 deg corner a little short, or rectangles with big mouse-eared corners.
