New to me B7100HST

[amitysanimal]

In a couple days I値l be picking up a new to me B7100HST with a FEL and 1800 hours on it. They are asking $6000.00 or $6500.00 with a rear Woods 48 finish mower. Is the rear finish mower worth getting? I would think it would be good if you have a lot of lawn but my lawn is kinda broken into smaller sections and would think it would be awkward mowing with it. What are everyone痴 thoughts?

If you have a lawn with smaller sections and obstacles, it will be difficult with that setup. With the FEL on the front, and the finish mower on the back, you will get a lot of "kick out". Basically, anytime you get near a fence or obstacle, and try to turn, the mower will swing into the obstacle. Same with the FEL. If you have open spaces, then that setup should be fine.

Thank You! That's kinda what I thought.

Remove the loader bucket when mowing. It will make a big difference in turns.

I can't run a MMM with the FEL on right?

I run a MMM with a FEL. I haven't had any issues.

That would depend on the sub frame, but, I doubt it, based on the images you posted.

MMM with fel on should work as long as there is a mid point power takeoff installed.

Nice tractor but I would not pay $500 for that mower.

I didn稚 get the mower. I didn稚 think it was worth $500.00 either. I did buy the tractor today though. It is in really good shape and I feel I got a good deal on it. I just have a few minor things to do to it, like checking all the fluids, giving it a good greasing, gonna clean the radiators, change engine oil and filter, adjust the play in the steering box and it does have slight reverse creep. All minor things though.
