Woods or Land Pride rotary mower?

Landpride RCR1872 has worked great. Haven't owned any Woods products though.

Like hslogger commented, be sure to compare apples to apples. Both manufacturers make light, medium, and heavy duty models. I don't think you could go wrong with either Land-Pride or Woods. Both are upper price range but well worth the cost.

I have a 6 foot Landpride that has done well. I haven't had any other brand, so I can't comment on which is better. I've had to replace my gear box, my stump jumper and liked that I was able to get parts quickly and easily. Their online parts diagrams are very helpful. Messicks has great prices, so I just go to their page to order what I need. Kubota also sells Landpride, so there is good dealer support there too. I don't have a Kubota, but have had a good experience there when working on my rotary cutter. My biggest issue is the tail wheel. It bent fairly quickly, and when I bought a new replacement, it bent just as quickly. I ended up buying a much bigger wheel and fabricated a stronger way to mount it then what Landpride did and haven't had any issues since then. When I buy again, Landpride will be at the top of my list to choose from, but I'll still look at other brands. All of my repairs are from how badly I use it, I'm pretty bad and I'm surprised that I've only had to replace the gear box once!!!

How old is your Landpride Eddie?
