Am looking for a 60" mower for an 855. I have found a few but I have been unable to locate which model deck will work? Or will all 60" shaft driven decks work if you have the kit for the 855?

There were 60 & 72 decks for the 855 (and maybe a 50"?). I have a 72. I assume you mean mid-mount. I believe you may be looking for M060HDA, however you'll also need the mounting pieces as well as correct PTO shaft. I'd watch CL as well as eBay if you aren't already.

Also, if your site permits, you may consider getting a rear mount. While you cannot mow as tightly around trees, you can cover quite a bit of ground quickly plus if you go to sell it, the buyer needs no specific tractor in order to use it.

Yes I believe the m060 HDA is the one you want. If you need confirmation pm me and tomorrow I try and confirm for you. Put mine up for winter

Thank you guys
I am currently using a 261 rear mount mower and the cut is very good. With the 261 and fel it is tight in the paddocks. I figured it would be much easier to get in to the tighter places with the mid mount mower. If anyone has one for sale please let me know. I would also be interested in trades as well.

You are right about getting into tighter spots. Using the 855 with the mid mount I have very little trim or weed whacking! Did get a few of wife's flowers once though!

I've toyed with switching to a RFM because I'm growing tired of shoving that 72" mower under my tractor all the time. I can't keep it on all summer due to how I use the tractor so the mower goes on and then comes back off, probably in teh same day. Once I get my new shed built with the hoped for concrete floor, rolling the mower underneath will be a fare easier task.

I was lazy this year and probably mowed less than 5 times all summer. Okay, really I was busy doing other stuff. Too busy for how much I got done.

When I use my rotary mower, I always have the loader off since it's too long otherwise.
