looking for a good 72" finishing mower

[DS DEERE]

I am intrusted in a rear discharge finishing mower for a 3520 John Deere. Looking into a king kutter because of the price. Just wondering if it is a good one or if I should look at other brands?

Never looked at the KK. I have a Woods, RD 72 that works real well.

Where are you located? I have a Woods RD72 that I have used 4 or 5 times. looking to seel it or trade for a boat. Mine is rear discharge. i have a ZTR and it is soooo much faster than the tractor, I don't use the Woods anymore.

Do you have pictures? Asking price?

I have a Woods 72" rear discharge and it does work great when I can use it. Currently up here in the Northeast with the amount of rain we've been getting I use the 48" Craftsman's. The ground is just to wet for the use of the Woods with my L3540. KK make an entry level product, not saying bad but my theory is buy it right and buy it only once.

Thank you I will have to see if I can find a woods dealer.

Out of the box all the RFM mowers cut great. It is down the road a few years before the price of a premium mower pays off. I've done El Cheapo. No thanks. I'll pay the extra price up front.

I also like my woods RD 7200

I used a 72" rear finish mower and it was a First Choice brand. The quality was great and it cut A LOT of grass. I'd buy another if I had the need.

Sitrex or Caroni both Italian manufacturers build good solid Finish Mowers. My Sitrex is 7 years old on the original belts. Some of the vendors here brand label them.
