Check out the Farm King, also - I love mine. It was $1700.00 Canadian (about $1100.00 US) for the 60" rear discharge.

I just purchased a rear discharge 72" woods. I have a jd 850 so I have 22 pto hp. It is one heavy piece looked at it next to the 25 series landpride and it looked much heavier. The landpride I think is spec'ed with higher blade speeds, but the woods did an excellent job of lifting the grass. I probably need some front weights now when I am in transport.

Alan, I am about to purchase a Farm King 60" mower. I have called two dealers and my cheapest price is 1,250. I live just north of Atlanta, GA. When did you buy and what part of the country are U. Just wondering if I should check some more.

West,

I think you meant to reply to me, Paul. I'm in Quebec, Canada. The 1250.00 sounds reasonable, that's only 150.00 more. My exchange rate of 1.55 is what I get when I change CDN to US, you usually suffer at least a 10% hit when exchanging back (ie. 1.45 for you, but more likely 1.4).

West,I priced a 60" finish mower her in bama at Lowerys for 1k I think they have an outlet in GA...May not be much difference in price for you there though they are made or put together here in a small town called BOAZ. I bought a 3pt trailer hitch from them for $30 it's seems well made...I watched a special on APTv about them so I checked them out...Still I priced a few differrent finish mowers while I was looking for a tractor for future ref.The average price here in AL was between $1300- $1500...

Alan, unless you are planning on mowing grass higher than 1 foot or really thick weeds, the 1720 can power a 6 foot mower with no problem. In really thick stuff you might need to shift down. I was always able to mow in mid-range and 4th gear with mine equipped with the 12x12 shuttle shift. You'll cut remarkeably faster with the 6'/72" mower because you'll be cutting outside the tractor wheels and not smashing down the edges of where you're mowing. I always thought I got a better cut also because of this.
