Re: 84\" Rear Finish Mower
Driver, I am thinking of moving up from a 2910 to something bigger, and part of the rationale is that I can use a 7' finish mower instead of my 6' and can use a 6' rotary cutter instead of my 5'. The two dealers I talk two raise the scalping issue constantly. But they did that when I bought the 6' belly mower for my 2910 instead of the 5' they recommended. There is no doubt the 6' was a better choice.
My lawns are relatively flat with some undulations. There are a couple of places where my 6' belly mower will scalp if I approach from the wrong angle. I just dont see how an extra foot would result in a scalping massacre, but I'm a little afraid to invest the money and find out I was wrong. As far a fitting through things, the 7' rear discharge is about the same width as my 6' belly mower with the chute down, so I dont think I should have a problem there.
Guess I was just looking for any good experiences or horror stories with a 7' finish mower.
