So, You Are Considering A Rear Finish Mower?

[bp fick]

Good mower choice and nice review, BP.

I wonder if a 48" MMM would even fit with the larger tires mounted?

Any chance of posting a vid?

Yes, the 48" should fit, according to careful measurements, although untested. No way a 54" MMM would. It is not only wider, but shaped differently. The 3" bite Kubota takes out of the frame would not allow it. Since no 48" could be found, the real world testing never took place.

Didn't want to start a new thread since this is about the same product. Got my mower in just two days and it was super easy with Ken Sweet. Mower came just as BP said his did.

Using the 3 pt lift on the tractor, installing the tires bars was a breeze.

Was 101 degrees today and putting it together was fairly easy. Don't see how they say don't hook it up to your tractor first to get the tire bars on.

Someone shipped a very long shaft. I had to cut 9" off that shaft to get it fit, with the mower in the farthest away position. I intend to take another 2"-3" off that shaft in order to run it closer to the tractor.

I got the same shaft. That thing wasn't even thinking about fitting. Watched the video from everythingattachments and he said could be cut with a saw. :laughing: Yea right. Was at the store to get a saws-all after using two different blades on a hack saw for about 30 minutes and remembered I had a grinder with a metal cutting blade on it (I think the heat got to me today and forgot all about it). Anyway that will have to wait until tomorrow after work.

Mower is well built, very satisfied with the shipping and quality of the product so far. Everything was greased up. The tire bars did beat on the mower some but a little touch up paint will take care of it. My wheels were stiff and hard to get them to turn until I moved them around a bit. Could tell the mower had been outside a little while but no biggie there. Anxious to get the shaft cut and try it out.

Supposed to be only 103 degrees tomorrow, perfect day to cut the shaft and try this mower out. Can't wait.
