How do you like it? I've been looking at the 72" LS finish mower.

Care to share how much you paid for it?

In general it is a great mower and gives a very nice finish cut. I have about 9 acres of "yard" to mow around the house at ranch. Still have to use the JD zero turn under most of the trees but, the RFM can get to about 60% of it.




My biggest complaint on it is that LS designed it with the upper link connection about 8" to the rear of the lower link connections? Great mower with goofy geometry on the hookup. I am working on a couple of ideas to improve this and will share later. With upper link connection so far back I have to use a very long (29") manual top link instead of my hydraulic top link which only extends to 23".





I think LS has an over supply of them so had a special price of around $2400 on them. May still be available? Check with your LS Dealer. Mine is the 84" model.

Looks like maybe you can lengthen or replace the rear braces going from the top link connection to the rear of the deck, which would angle the top of the a-frame forward by rotating on the bottom bolts?

Yep, that is one of the ideas I am considering.

I just ordered a 60" EA. what width did you get? Did you get the 3rd function kit or are you running off rear remotes?

Since this is a pic thread: Using my new XR4040 to stack my hay. I love it...

I bought an "everything attachments " 66" . I ran the hydraulic lines through the machine up to the rear remotes for rite now but at some point in the future I may add the third function valve kit. So far its not been two big of a deal using the lever for the rear remotes. Bought all the hoses and connections and fittings at tractor supply for the hook up.
