Ron, I don't know too much other then what I have. I have a 84" Landpride. I also have a Woods 80" "bush hog" While the Woods seems a little thicker as one would expect from a hog, the Landpride I have has the necessary strength where it needs it. Every place on my Woods that has dings or dents is where Landpride uses the thick steel. They did their homework. I really like the cut with the finish mower and the way it rides on 4 pneumatic tires and follows the ground. They are great unless the grass is really tough and tall. With much shorter blades, the speed of the blades is much higher and the degree to which they mulch the grass is much better. If I had it to do over, I would probably go for the 96" Landpride. Rat...
