New series of woods finish mowers?

[Newblue]

What is the difference between the rd series and the new prd series of mowers?

 

[Jarrett]

The differences I see off hand are the arms that the wheels attach to are tubular on the PRD whereas the RD uses arms made of plate. Also, the PRD uses a clevis type attachment to the tractor 3ph arms instead of the regular 3ph pins. It looks like the PRD has a higher gearbox HP rating too.

Thanks Jarret. It looks like the prd also weighs more than the old rd series - wonder if the price is higher too?

The list price on the new prd series is $77.00 higher than the rd series, price comparison based on the 72" model.

I agree
I just purched a PRD720 and that is what the difference is, I looked at them and saw the same thing you described.
