Are they similar to the Lastec mowers? I hear they are flex too, and quite well built.

Have not personally used one, but am familiar with the company behind them. And it is a good company.
Wondered if maybe LandPride was re-badging the Lastec and thought you might know.

Thanks for the information Ken. Let me ask you a few questions. Right now I have a 3 pt 7' Landpride finishing mower and I like it alot, I think it is a well built machine and it has preformed well for the abuse I have put it through.
The issue I have had this is year is all the rain. I have what was pasture and is now mowed as what I call a "rough lawn". It may not be as nice as the lawn around the house and yard but it looks very nice. I am only able to mow once a week because I travel for my job. This year with all the rain I can't keep up with the growth. I should be mowing twice a week and can only do it once so I end up with alot of grass clippings that turn brown laying on top of the new growth. Most of the clippings throw to the RH side of the mower and my thinking with a flex mower would be that I would have three narrower mowers which would leave less of a windrow than one wide unit that I have now. Does this make sense or am I way off base with this????

Basically, the way these Flex Wing mowers are set up is just 3 rear discharge mowers tied together. I would cut back to Zero on the fertilizer and aerating,etc and hope the rains abate next year. The flex wings mowers will cut your time in the seat way back. Ken Sweet
