Rotary Cutter Price Check on Bush Hog RDTH 72" Finish Mower

[rbargeron]

It's a small world - I have a Woods RFM990 for my bigger tractor but I've been looking for a 6 ft rfm for my smaller L345DT. I stumbled onto a CL listing for a RDTH 72, not realizing it was the machine being discussed here. It is in new condition (still has red paint on the underside and the faint pink stripe on the tire tread). The owner is downsizing to a walk-behind as his place becomes more detailed with multiple contoured lawns. I had done a search here to see what people thought of this Bush Hog model - and realized TBN member(s) were talking about this exact one. I asked the owner if he had interested potential buyers - but he sad nobody yet. Based on its condition I was happy to pay the asking price of $1k - it looks better than many of the new ones sitting outside on dealer lots! It's very ruggedly built (typical Bush Hog quality) - I'm quite happy with this purchase - I hope I haven't snatched it out from under someone else's nose.

I have owed a Bush Hog RDTH 72 and a RDTH 60 and the cut, durability, and construction are outstanding. Before getting the BH I tried several used mowers of different and lesser brands. They cut like crap! Whether you get a 6 or 7 foot mower I recommend sticking to the name brand BH, Woods, etc. You get what you pay for.

rbargeron, you probably did buy the one I was looking at (if it was in Lononderry VT).

I decided to go with a 86" DelMorino mower I saw in the New Hampshire classifieds instead. Picked it up for $800. Not quite the bristol shape the Bush hog you bought was, but the extra width was what I was hoping to find. And I was able to drop off the LX5 I sold on the way to pick it up, saving my buyer a bit of time, it worked out for all of us.
