I tried mowing the fields with the little five foot mower off the smaller older tractor and it just looked awful.
Need a bigger cut to cover the tires, so I went up two feet to an 84. A Land Pride RCF2084 . At first I thought they brought the wrong mower because it didn't look big enough, but upon closer inspection, it was the right one. With one big difference.
The picture I had studied had twin tail wheels, like below. My new mower has one tailwheel, and clearly has the holes all drilled for the optional double rear wheels. On the other mower, I have found that the single wheel could cut into the ground on sharp turns, if the ground was at all soft. So I assumed the much heavier mower would come with the two wheels. No, and I'm waiting for the pricey quote on this option.
This is a heavy mower, well at least for me anyway... http://www.landpride.com/ari/attach/lp/public/specs/326-461s.pdf
For those of you who run large single mowers/cutters, can you recommend when a dual tailwheel is worth the money?
I cut at 6-7 inches btw, field grass only, no brush.
thanks
