Hey ya'll,
Which brand and model rear discharge finish mower should I purchase?.....It will be going on my Mahindra tractor with right at 39 hp at the PTO, so I'll need a 6'.
I really like Bush Hog products, but don't know anything about their finish mowers. I have a 5' Bush Hog SQ600 Squealer rotary cutter and am well pleased with it.....Thats why I am considering a finish mower manufactured by them.
A buddy of mine has a Land Pride FDR1672 (?I think?)........He absolutely loves his....It has paid for itself Several times.
Are the Rhino finish mowers any good?........I heard that their rotary cutters are hard to beat.
I am also considering the Woods brand.........I hear they are extremely high on price though.............Several people around here has the Woods Brush Bull 60 rotary cutters...........One of the owners don't like his too much though.
Also, What about the Sitrex brand?......I hear they are good too.......That is a consideration also.
I need one that will last many, many years to come.........I will be cutting probably 5-7 acres about 20-30 times per year, of course, weather depending.
Keep in mind that I want a mower that can be greased without taking off any covers.....And the other main concern is that I want one that automatically tightens up the belt (idler pulley).........Also, I definitely want a good parts availability brand mower.
So, thats my choices......Bush Hog, Land Pride, Rhino, Woods, and Sitrex.
Now, the BIG question:..........WHAT ARE THE PRICES ON THESE BRANDS/MODELS?.......I don't want to go "overboard" with it, I just don't want to have to worry about down time either.
Thanks a lot,
Travis R
