mid mower

[IslandTractor]

I used a 60 inch Rhino rear discharge finish mower with my CK20. Nice combo.

You might find an old Kioti MMM in some small dealership somewhere but I believe they are out of production. The MMM is much more expensive than a RFM.

Thanks aczlan for the quick reply. I guess I had a case of operators headspace
and did not look at Kiotis site until just now. They list the KMR03-72" Mid-Mount
but alas it shows compatibility with only the DK35 and DK40. Seems strange to
me. Does anyone know if there is a smaller one in the pipeline or if possibly the
Bobcat mower mentioned elsewhere on the forum would work? I am very much
wanting a MMM because I will need to use the tractor to mow my 1.5 ac yard
in order to justify the purchase. Thanks in advance for any infor and just
wanted to let everyone here know this is an absolutely awesome board with
a wealth of knowledge and information!

Thanks,
Grant

I recently bought a CK20S with a Kioti 60" rear mower for my 1.5 acres. I was a little worried since I had been looking for a MMM. The dealer I bought from had both, but recommended the rear mount. It ended up coming down to cost for me (I think it was ~$900 cheaper for the rear mount mower). By buying the rear mount, I had quite a bit of money left over to use towards other implements (a front plow in my case). I've mowed about 5 times now and am still getting used to the rear mower, but it isn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I am able to get into corners and under larger trees much easier. Some trees and landscaping I can get as close or closer to than with a MMM, some I can't and just have to trim around. It really is easy to remove and install the rear mower. I can't speak to how easy/difficult it is for the MMM.

I have a 66" mid mount mower on my Bobcat, takes all of 10 minutes to remove.....and that was my first time at it, just wish it were a drive over deck
