New RFM

WileyKioti · Jun 26, 2006

I recently purchased a KMRO3-72" RFM for my CK30HST. It is a great piece of equipment. I really like the rear discharge. I wasn't too sure about rear discharge, but it spreads the clippings out evenly, making the yard look pretty nice. Heavy as well, but built very solid. Nice smooth cut. I now get to spend a little more quality time with the tractor every week.

I have to say that price wise, it made a lot of sense. The RFM cost about the same as an 18-20 horse riding lawn mower.

Sure beats my old 42" Rider!

Does your mower look like this First Choice mower?--Ken Sweet

This is my first season with an 84" rear discharge First Choice RFM. ( My Previous mower was a 72" side discharge RFM).
Wasn't sure if I would like rear discharge, but it mows real nice .

Wow, 7' wide with 35 HP and a heavy tractor? That seems like a lot of finish mower, how does it do?

The tractor handles the 7' mower with no problem.
I mow approx. 6 acres of lawn in around 2 1/2 hours. Works and mows very well.

Sorry, forgot about the picture. My kids have the digital cameras spread out all over, so, when I get one, I will post.

It does look very similar to the First Choice, with one Major difference: It has a very nice Kioti Sticker.

My Dealer said that he has mowed quite a bit with an 84" on a CK30HST, and said it handled it easily. I have a few small inclines in my yard, so I didn't want to go too big, and end up scalping crowns and high spots. 72" in high grass is no problem at all!

Here is the Picture.

Our weather has been so nice, up here in the Northwest, that I have been using it a lot, since the grass has been growing so fast!
