3pt flat deck 110" mower or 12' flex wing for JD4720

[mnc]

I have been mowing my lawn around ranch house with a GT245 54" and this is a few hours I would rather be with the kids on our trips to the ranch.

I am now looking at the Frontier GM2109R rear discharge 110" deck mower to use on my JD4720 or the Frontier FM2012R mower which is a flex wing 12 foot, but a lot more in price. If the 110" deck works well, I am thinking this is what I might go for. Any other thoughts on solutions?

Thanks

The 4720 is about 52 pto hp.

i'd suggest check with the mower dealer and acertain the power requirements of both mowers and under what conditions as guidence for final decision. it'd be a very expensive booboo to jump on either and not have the power to operate them effeciently.

CharlieS,

That would be a booboo and a boohoo

I did check and both are within the range, I don't know what JD did but mine is the 66hp Tractor 56hp PTO, I see some are only 58hp????

Anyway, they will work, just want to get thoughts on that size rear discharge deck mower for very flat mowing area.

Does anyone have any experience with the Woods TBW150C ? 12 1/2 foot cut batwing that is the price of the fixed deck Frontier GM2109R I was looking at.

I think this is going to be where I am heading now, good price for a tri-deck batwing.

What is the price for the 12 foot version?

I have a 13.5 foot Rhino TSX 135 and like it, however I like to keep my equipment inside and they take a lot of room to get in and out. It trims surprisingly close but takes a little practice. I planted a bunch more trees so I have to get out another mower to do a half acre. I'm now trying to sell it ($5700) and have bought a 3720 so I only have to keep up one mid sized machine that may take a little longer but can do everything.
I pulled mine on steep grades with a JD 1530 (42 hp?), my 3020 didn't even notice it!
