I assume this one that has a gear box from Spain. Is that correct? May want to dump it while it still works well and get the MX 8. Any thoughts? A buddy uses his mx8 on his 4720 with the bucket and says it does ok. I guess I could always add some front weights or put something in the bucket. Lee

If it works for your friend, it should work for you. Look at the stump jumper on your MX6. If it's held on by a castle nut, it's one of the good ones.

If your cutter or mower dont have 17+k blade tip speed, you don't get a smooth finish.
