I know its not grass cutting season but I got a 3320 and was wanting a finish mower. I have the chance to get a Frontier GM1060E which is the 5 foot economy model. I looked up on the JD web site and the economy model has a 30hp gearbox and 11 guage reinforced deck. The regular GM1060R (regular duty) has a 40hp gearbox with a 8 gauge deck. I can live with a smaller gear box but what concerns me is the 11 gauge vs the 8 gauge deck. Will 11 gauge be heavy enough? I think I am getting a good price on the economy model, which is why I am looking at this in the dead of winter. It is a new left over 2005 still in the crate for $1000 which includes the optional I-match conversion kit. I am told this until usualy sells for $1950 for the mower alone but I don't know if that is true. Any experience out there?
