15 ft finish mower. Anyone own one of these?

I noticed that the 12’ Landpride batwing had a high blade tip speed and I’ll bet that helps with cut quality.

What are you pulling it with?

With a new Kubota MX5400. The quality of the cut is amazing.

A lot of rough cut mower have straight blades rather than lifting type blades like your mower has and the straight blades do a very poor job on grass while the lifting blades will often leave a cut that looks close to a finish mower.

That is because a turf batwing IS a finish mower. They will generally have three 4-6 foot wide finish mower decks with standard finish mower blades.

I guess I have never seen a turf batwing with stump jumpers , I would have thought the mower he bought would be a rough cut batwing, no belts, stump jumpers, but you learn something new on here everyday, the mower he bought would be considered a rough cut in my opinion.
