I use a MX10 (10' jd) and I wouldn't trade it in wide open spaces. Trailer-ing is entertaining with a foot and a half hanging off each side though. It is a full mount and is a bit heavy even for my tractor. I always run with the loader on to help balance out the machine. If you have really thick grass your not going to be able to mow very fast though. I usually run the mower in grass over the front tires in height (around 36") and I can only mow around 4mph or so.
