CC fix for 60" belly mowers/decks

[PA hayseed]

Sorry, I was on the tractor cutting grass again, and remembered what else I like about the RFM. The RFM is rear discharge, and when you keep the RPM's up, it spreads the cut grass failry evenly behind you. I no longer have grass piles in rows where I just cut. It is nice, especially when you haven't cut grass in awhile.

As for my previous posts regarding the RFM everything else is pretty much the same. I did use it slightly differently today along the edge of my property where the weeds get about 3-4 foot high. I lifted it up about a foot, and knocked those weeds down a little in two 5' wide cuts. WOrked well. I could've done it similarly with the MMM, but it wouldn't have been able to have been raised as high.

For what it is worth.

I have a Woods RFM for the Ford and a 60" belly mower on my Cub 5252. I've used the RFM a couple of times on the yard. It does a great job but I can't get close enough to the 20 or so trees and other obstacles in the 2+ acres I mow.

I use the RFM for another couple acres in the back of my property that has no trees, it works great there. If I wasn't so lazy, I could use the push mower for 1/2 hour and do the trimming in advance!

On a side note, do you find it easier to get around the trees when you go in reverse. I have only cut about 18 acres with it so far, so I am still getting the feel for it. To me it seems like a CC tank when you mow in reverse, except not nearly as slick.
