I am thinking of getting a five foot RFM for my JD670. I can get an 1985 Woods 59RM for about 300 bucks or a 2001 Woods for about 800.. used of course. I think my beast can carry a five foot RFM.
I know the "no brainer" is get the more expensive newer one, but I would only use it on and off for mowing in my pasture not for every week mowing in a yard. (sometimes I like it to look finished after using the rotary cutter).
Also, is a rear discharge better than the side? So many questions about equipment!!!!! Both the ones I am looking at are side discharge, although I saw a rear discharge one for a little over 1000. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Any help?
