Re: 72\" MMM
Without getting into the details, I bought a RFM for my B2910. Woods 60" rear discharge. I was a good product but did not work well for my needs.
Had I bought a MMM I probably would not have a BX2200...the 60" RFM was too narrow to easily cut close to things with. So if you get a RFM I would say get a 72".
That being said, a RFM in my mind would be great for wide open spaces, but if you have a lot of things to cut around it may not work as well for you as a MMM would. When you cut around something, the rear mower moves away from it, so it is hard to cut close to someting on the left, when you are turning to the left. I could not easily cut close to my pond's edge with the 60" RFM. My pond is not that large, 50x80' or so. So the curve around the edge was sometimes a little sharp.
I believe had I purchased a 72" mmm with my B2910 that I would have been quite happy with it. And that it would have let me cut close to things I need to cut close to, and all that. You want some mower sticking out beyond your rear tires so you can more easily cut close to things.
I'm not sure how I got the CFO to agree to the second tractor, but perhaps I forgot to tell here I was trading the RFM in towards it, and that coupled with 0% financing had some impact... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
I guess I got MarkLeininger confused with Filup! It was his brother-in-law who was recommending the RFM! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Oh well, I'll post these comments anyway since they are already typed... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
