King Kutter??

Freds · Jun 7, 2004

My rear discharge Bush Hog RFM didn't do a good job of dispersing the grass until I took off the chain guard across the back. Even then it did not do near the job of my neighbors' riding mowers with side discharge. A friend of mine that used to own a landscaping business said that is because the side discharge recuts the grass as it's being shuffled down to one end. He said you never see landscapers using a rear discharge anything.

FWIW. Nothing like making a decision harder than it already is. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

OK nomad, you DON'T care for First Choice, for whatever reason. I think by now we get it. Now, go hunt some truffles, if they're in season.

I'm on my 4th season with a King Kutter 6' RFM.(side discharge).
No problems at all so far.

I bought a 6' KK rfm this spring so far I'm happy with it. My neighbor has had one for a few years now and he still likes his. He did have a problem that I fixed up for him, and then changed mine to match. The chain and bracket broke that runs from the toplink to the rear of the deck that allows you to lift the rear of the deck completely off the ground It was 1/4" chain arc welded to a piece of 3/8"x1'' bar stock with some adjustment holes drilled in. The chain link snapped right at the weld. They should of seen that one coming. I just cleaned it up drilled a hole and bolted and double nutted 3/8" galvanized chain to both ends, then did my new one the same way.

Nomad,

I took a look at what you linked and, since First Choice is quoting a customer and not making a claim, I think they're OK legally. As to what I wrote, I'm guessing that those very thoughts were on the minds of many others who read what you posted.

As to the quote on the First Choice page, here's the ultimate irony for you. If you want to look back at my posts in the archives I'm sure you'll find more than one wherein I described the First Choice box blade I bought as "Woods/Landpride or better quality at a King Kutter price or less." I could actually be the customer who was quoted there. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I'll have to give Pieter a call and find out.

As to your comment that my "life must be difficult on TBN" , while I appreciate your kind concern, let me assure you that I'm fine. Thank you.

As to your remark about there not being another Nomad on TBN, for that I am even more thankful.

Have a wonderful day! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hey, Fellas I've seen this before ROFLMAO can someone kindly enlighten me since the one brain cell I have left is currently directing respitory functions,Thanks, OH BTW I have a well used 6'kk RFM , Its ok but does windrow unless the grass is plenty dry and forget about a nice job if the grass gets a little high because you can't get to it immediately. Also mine is a 1991 model and it has two side covers (rear discharge I suppose)I have to leave one of them off so the grass won't row too bad. My mower came with my tractor all was well used but keeps on keepin on /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gifI don't know if I would buy this brand or not? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
