My neighbor bought a Cub with a RFM. He used it one year and now the RFM sits in the weeds. He has a MMM now and loves it.

Hey Murph, ask your neighbor if I can have his RFM. I'll even come get it. :)

You guys need to try out a Steiner with a FFM. That's front finish mower. It gives you all the advantages of driving a RFM in reverse except you can see what you're doing and not be acting like a character out of The Exorcist while doing it.

It's bad enough in the dry periods of the year mowing and having dust problems behind you with a RFM. But a mower out front is sure to stir up a cloud at times that you'l need to drive through.

Yep that is actually a problem I get more often with eveb a MMM over a RFM, if there is any wind I'm sure to eat and wear some dust, dry grass clippings, etc. I only really suffer though when I mow part of what used to be old horse pasture and had a mix of bermuda grass and annual rye growing on it, so there is a lot of dead grass still to kick up. Hopefully in a year or two that will be better. Something in that dead grass, either the bermuda or the rye irritates my skin and causes welts to break out :(

I guess if all you are mowing is a well established lawn that shouldn't be much of a problem.

Inside corners are the biggest pain, with a MMM you just can't get it all, with a rear mower you can at least back into it.

My LandPride RFM came with hi-lift blades from the factory and those things create a tremendous vacuum under the deck which translates to an incomprehensible amount of dust. I ordered a set of lo-lifts and it was a night and day difference. They also make a medium lift set but I haven't tried them.
