I hadn't really thought about this. The JD 709 Bush Hog we have has a 7 foot Cutting width and we love it. The 65hp Compared to the 55hp in our JD 5310 would be nice

I'm just worried about the whole scalping issue I heard with the 72" but I don't see why the 72" or the 90" mower wouldn't cut grass lawns any different than a regular mower deck (when the 90" has the Finish mower blades and spindles on it) Another that kind of bothers me is that the 1850 is 65hp with basically the Lift Arms of a 30hp tractor (1430). Only 1200lb lift rating on a 65hp tractor?

That seems weird to me.
