Rear Finish Mower Need a 7’ finish mower

[sawtooth]

I’ve looked at Bush Hog and Land Pride. Wow they are expensive. Any cheaper brands that are just as good or should I stick with the name brands?

I owned and used a 8' Caroni for years. Sold it for more than i paid for it. Very good mower.

Ive been using a Woods rm990 that I found on craigslist for 1000 bucks going on 8 years now. Its needed a few bearings and seals and I painted it to match the tractor but for being a 30 year old mower, its been great and ive had no issue finding parts.

I've got a 7' Phoenix finish mower. Mow 10 acres with it once a week during growing season. Go thru a set of blades (3) every 2 years. Had to replace a bearing in a spindle last year, but other than that no problems at all. Has solid (no balloon tires). Lots of height adjustments. Weighs about 400 lbs. Wish I had bought an 8' with my 38hp tractor.

I have a 7' Land Pride I bought used a couple years ago. Thick metal, solid tires, slip clutch, works great. Biggest thing I see on these is get one with a tall deck (6" or better) and open back so all the clippings can get out.

Boy, that's surprising to me. I've moved it around my garage floor by hand before and I'm an old fart.

I bought a used Bush Hog RDTH 72" for $750 (15? years back). It's a tank and is well worth the price I paid and pretty sure I could sell it for more now!

Super solid deck, had to replace 2 tires and most likely, need to replace all 4 in the near future. Never a problem with spindles, I grease the snot out of them.

I am on my 3rd drive belt.

I had a bush hog brand for over 15 years. Deck rusted out. Poor cleaning on my part
