B21 & RFM

[littlediesel]

I am looking to buy a new B21 but also need a finish mower. Has anyone used a B21 with a 60" or 72 " RFM. I am thinking the 72" RFM is too big but the 60" should be fine.

I want the B21 because of how rugged the machine is built. Does anyone have any experience with the B21's with a RFM??

Your comments will be appreciated!!

Thanks....Jon

i have no experience with the b21 and rfm. but i do have a b2400 and a 60" rfm and it handels it fine, so i would imagine the 21 would be ok. my question is why would u not want to use your b2910 to use the mower with? that would for sure take a 72" mower.

Frank,

Thanks for the reply.

I am thinking about reducing my overhead by selling my L35 and B2910 and just getting a B21. I think I can do what I need to do with just the B21. However, the B21 must be able to mow lawn with a RFM and use my 58' rototiller.

Would the B21, with only 13 PTO HP Be enough to run a 58" rototiller?

Also, I think I remember that either the Loader or the backhoe on the B21 does not come off...Guess it must be the loader that stays put, otherwise the rear PTO would be of little use...

Just a couple thoughts...

Jon,

I have the B21 and am very happy with it - great litte HD machine for BH work as well FEL. Tho I don't have a RMM the B7500 which is the same HP uses a 60" deck MM or RM.

So based on that I would go with the 60" mower.

bill: u sure about that 13 pto hp for B21? that don't sound right. i will check it out, but seems to me it is higher than that.

Frank,

Yep, the B21 has 13 HP PTO.

Frank and all,

Actually, I think the B21 is listed as having 13.5 PTO hp last time I looked...but that was after I posted the 13 above /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif
