I'm about due for a new lawn mower and rather than buy a new riding mower I'm considering a RFM or flail mower to pull behind my CK35.
I don't really have that much grass to mow, takes about an hour on my 42" zero turn snapper. I have a rotary cutter that I use on the rougher ground down the sides of the driveway. This is only the second summer in a new house, so the yard is still not perfect and seems to grow small to medium rocks.
Can I get as good a cut with a Caroni as with a RFM?
Should I get the F model rotor on the Caroni?
How will the Caroni do running along the edge of a gravel driveway? I currently just raise the rotary cutter high enough that it doesn't suck up the gravel.
I also use the rotary to mow fire roads/paths at my hunt club once a year. No big stuff, mostly just grass and weeds that grow through the summer. If I got the F model Caroni could I still use it for that?
My other option is to just buy a new lawn tractor, but even a cheap one cost as much as the Caroni or the RFM. My plan would be to throw some new blades on the old snapper and keep it for trimming around trees, etc.
I have an Agri Supply, TSC, and several good tractor dealers within 30 minute drive so lots of options.
