Finish Cut Mower ?

[TimP]

I understand flail mowers and 3 Pt Bush Hog mowers being "Rough Cut" mowers, but I always thought that a Kubota Mid-Mount Mower was considered a "Finish Cut" mower.

Isn't it ????

Thanks......

Yes, the MMM is for yard grass only. The bushhog and flail mower is made to cut tall grass and light saplings where the MMM is essentially a lawn mower.

Yes! I have the 60” MMM and it finishes “almost” as good as my Exmark that I used for my mowing business. I don’t bag with my MMM but I did with the Exmark which made it much nicer as well.

Thanks... that's what I thought.

But a Service writer fro my local Kubota dealership insisted it was NOT a "Finish Mower".

Incompetence is rampant now-a-days.

Do you have the standard blades, or mulching?

Standard blades. And my lawn here is very bumpy!

Impressive.

I feel guilty when I say I am going to cut the "grass" at my house...... I have nerve to call it grass.... more like weeds.

I wish it looked as good as your lawn.

Well technically he was right because a finish mower and a MMM aren’t the same thing although they do the same job. A finish mower is different from the previous 3 implements you listed.

I spoke with the owner of the dealership and he agreed it was to be considered a finish mower.

They had a Winter special for a tune-up that included service to finish mowers.

I use a flail mower with grass blades and can do a fine job as a finishing mower.

Mine is a Woodmaxx 62" on a BX2200.

Wish I could be mowing right now... lol
