I've got a LandPride RCR1260 that's been real good to me over the last year and a bit. However, I do a lot of backing up while bush hogging - up / down banks, hills, into thickets, etc - and I regularly have to tweak the rear lower edge of the deck back in line. I'd LOVE to see the reinforcement along the front of the deck go on around the back to the rubber skirt. It wouldn't be that much more material and would make for a much more durable deck, for my uses anyway.
I like the J hook for laying the PTO shaft in. Both my LP decks have chains to hang the PTO and seems I always get grease on my pants hanging them up after use. I may borrow that idea for mod to mine.
