I am entertaining the thought at this moment. He is the situation.
I bought the MT372 2wd tractor and now torn it down to chassis and re-painting hood/fenders and other things along with the chassis. I really want to use this thing a lot so I am thinking of different attachments and projects I can get done.
Here is my situation. I have a 2002 Exmark hydro walk behind with 48 in cut w 17hp Kawisaki that I mow my 4 acres with during the summer. Would it be feasable to sell the hydro and put either a belly mower or 3 pt finish mower on the Mitsu MT372? I can get a 3pt 60" finish deck for about a grand. That would leave me with enough cash to get lawn roller, aerator, etc to get my lawn back to normal and maintain.
I have never used either one to mow with but would certainly like to get a wider cut and sit down while mowing for a change.
What size belly or 3pt deck can this mower turn at correct rpms? 60 inch, 72 inch and also do I have to have a Mitsubishi belly deck or will others adapt?
How do they raise up/down? Should I use a 3 pt so when one of these days that I buy another compact tractor I will have the deck? What about mowing closer around house, objects . Which is better? Belly or 3pt? I am new to compact tractors and mowing decks.
Everyone chime in on this that has used mowing decks and give me your honest opinion. Now is the time to buy decks and I can sell my Exmark when spring is here to get the most out of it.
Sorry for all the questions but I didn't want to have to add to this thread 10 times.
Thanks ,
Bill
