Has anybody run the Fecon BH85SS (70" cutting width) mulching head on the RC-100? How well does it work compared to the BH74SS?
I've heard it said that the additonal cutting width will load the machine down, but will working 10 additonal inches of brush actually make that much of a difference to actually load down a RC-100?
What difference in performance would you see if both heads were used to mulch for example a 6" diameter tree? Wouldn't both heads have the same 'load' put on them irregardless of thier cutting width? A 6" tree is a 6" tree no matter what width head is working it.
Normally it's the BH74SS with a cutting width of 60" that is ran on the RC-100, but I'd really like the extra cutting width to help protect the outer edges of the rubber tracks. I know it's been said on here before that the extra cutting width is not needed since you don't 'mow' the brush, but move in a fan pattern with short forward cuts into the brush.
