Belly mower options for TC-30

[teststrips]

I bought a used TC30 about a year ago from a Mennonite guy and I love it. I know that my tractor accepts a belly mower, and was wondering what my options are. Called my local dealer and they quoted me $2900 plus $300 installation for a 60 inch mower :shocked: :confused2: Didn't even ask what the 72 inch would cost (I'd prefer the bigger size)

Are their aftermarket brands that would fit my tc30, or am I pretty much stuck with the new Holland branded mower. I think i heard him call it a 914a.

I'm in central PA if that matters.

Friend of mine bought the 60" 914 mower used from a dealer for his TC30. It was almost brand new, and the feller who returned it to the dealer said that it was too hard to take on and off. My friend bought it for $500. He installed it, and said the same thing. It is a real bear to install, and or remove. He leaves it on, and plowed snow with it on this past winter, with a 24" deep snowfall. He never said that it got in the way. It is an extremely heavy built unit, like the John Deere 7 iron series. It's built like a tiger panzer tank.
