I need some help with a decision I will be making in the next 24 hours.
I have a 3720 cab tractor that I use to maintain 20 acres of nursury. The bucket gets removed all the time, but the loader stays attached. I have a 2 acres yard without a lot of trees and I have a 445 with a 60 inch deck to do the cutting.
The idea of a RFM has been in the back of my head, knowing that no matter if I could or not, I would not use it to cut my front yard over the septic system.
I have stumbled upon 2 RFM's, both a good brand, both at a pretty good price.
My choice is:
A 3 year old 60" that has been stored inside and is supposed to be in great shape without a scratch. It has an extra set of blades and is set up for the I match.
A 3 year old 72" that has been stored outside. It was missing one of the tires and it was replaces with a new one. Not set up for I match. Nothing extra.
The difference is 250 for the mowers, and the 72 would need the i match set up. The 60 would just be an inch or two over the tire width...
I guess I keep second guessing the fact that I really need this. And I dont, its a toy.... So I would use it once and a while on hot days to sit in the AC and rock out on the radio. I think the 60 would be fine, since it seems to be a much better deal. Both items cost under 1000.00.
What do you think.
