I guess it doesn't come right and say 540 pto on the website, but it does have a 1:1.5 gear box ratio which puts the blade speed at 15,260 ft/min with 540 pto. That puts it right around the same blade speed as the bush hog and land pride comparable models.

I didn't do the math but noticed the 1.5 gear ratio so that got me to scratching my head. If you select 540 PTO speed on the search filters the 416 does not show up. Just a glitch in the data entry somewhere in the web masters domain. Hate to make some mistake like not paying attention to some basic detail and receive a machine I cannot use. Just doing the super cautious, double check, measure twice maybe three times before you cut thing.

Ya, after your response I looked at the website and seen that too.

How's this bad boy working out for you? I've cut some ridiculously heavy brush with my Brown 472 and am STILL impressed with it every time I use it. Not nearly as pretty as yours is though! I've thought a few times of upgrading to the 416 simply because it's quick hitch compatible and mine isn't, but so far they're are other priorities I need to spend my toy money on.

Congrats!

Great! I've only had it out once and was really happy with it.
