B7610 and 54" suspended MMM

[Dascro]

Good morning,

I was wondering if anyone here is using a 54" suspended MMM with their B7610, and if so, how they like this setup?

I have a 60" RFM and am not satisfied with the way its wheels will mark the yard even if the ground is a little damp. I am thinking maybe the 54" suspended MMM may be a better option for me, but I don't want to move in that direction without some comments from others currently using the 54" MMM.

Thanks,

Dave

I have a suspended 54" on my BX24 and find it does an excellent job. As long as the wheels are adjusted properly they only hit the ground on high spots.

I have the 54" suspended mower (Model # RCK54-75B which is the same one you are thinking of) on my B7500 and I feel it is a great mower. It does a great cut. I like it over the ground contact mower because I have sandy soil in most places and it does not tear up the turf. Plus it is a few hundred dollars cheaper. The build quality is just as good as there ground contact mowers which is there more expensive models.
I have no idea why they call it there economy mower. I feel it is a better design.

It is a great match for your B7610. I say go for it.

I have a B7500 which is the same as the B7610 and I have a 60" MMM under mine and I love it.I have R4 tires on mine and I use it more for mowing than anything else. I had a RFM on mine and traded for the MMM last year. I'm glad I did because the RFM would only run on 540 and would bog down in higher grass but the MMM runs in the 2500 speed range and taller grass is no problem at all.I can mow grass 6 to 10 inches high and it does'nt even phase it at all. Waht else can I say except "GO FOR IT".By the way there is one on E-bay for sale now and you could probally get a good deal on it.,just type in kubota tractors.

Thanks for all the replies and good information. I appreciate it. I haven't had a chance to check out the MMM on e-bay yet, but will soon.

Thanks again,

A have a 60” suspended RCK60B-75B on my B2410. No complaints at all about it’s performance and leaves no marks on the ground. I prefer the 60” over the 54 because the deck sticks out further making it easier to trim up close to trees and fences.

There are a few pics of it on this thread.
