I prefer Woods Products and have a Woods 6' BrushBull Brush Hog. I find Woods to be the best choice for long lasting equipment. I also have a Woods BackHoe 7 1/2', Woods 6' Rear Finish Mower. I've had no problems. Just my two cents.
soundguy: are you talking an 8' 3ph hd mower for a 4310? what's the weight of it? would you be comfortable on a slope with that setup? just asking bb
