Mid Mount Mower

[Gittyup]

I'm not sure I'd want to take a heavy tractor out on a golf-course type lawn, and you'd be giving up a lot of traction with turf tires for regular tractor duties.

Have you considered getting two machines, perhaps used would keep you within budget. One designed to manicure fine lawns and do it fast, like a ZTR or similar, and one for the real tractor work. If you went this route, the tractor would not have to be as big in HP, maybe could down size to as small as 25 hp. The ZTR will cut more grass faster than just about anything.

A lot of options to choose from. Just look at this beast (used right now for $5500).

I have a mid mount mower on my kubota b3030. Frankly, if I could do it again I'd skip the MMM and get a rear finish mower. Or, as someone suggested above, a dedicated mowing machine, whether zero turn or kubota bx.

I don't really have any kioti specific advice, but I certainly wouldn't let the absence of an MMM make a difference to me.

I mow with a b3030 with a mid-mount, and it really does weigh too much, though I tolerate it. Turfs with a lighter machine would be better.
