Rear Finish Mower Which mower would best suit my tractor?

[JJZ 109]

Did you look at a King Kutter RFM-72? It's made in America too... so that's a plus. You might check it out.

This is a picture of a 5' model, but the 6' model looks the same, just wider.

I had a KK that I bought new in 2005 but have since sold to go to a zero turn. It appears that the hitch is greatly improved on the model you picture.
Instead of the 2 solid links that attach to the rear of the mower, mine had a piece of chain. Never liked that setup much but the mower cut well enough.
I never could get over the "striping" issue with a RFM. The tractor tires compacted the grass and then it would spring up after the mower passed over. Overlapping the cut didn't seem to help out.

Why do you write "Any of these are the best..."? Do you have personal experience in using all of those brands? Or any (since you use a zero turn mower)?

Yes Roy, I have used many mowers over the years. I've owned several different brands, also. One of the finish mowers I've owned was made by LMC (Lowery Manufacturing) in Boaz, Alabama. They are good mowers, but they're not built like the Landpride, Bush Hog, or Woods (or Sicma). I have not used a "Sicma" brand finish mower. But if you read up on them and do research, people are well satisfied with them.

For finish mowers, I personally prefer Landpride. I think they're better built than the Bush Hog finish mower. But for rotary cutters, the Bush Hog brand can't be beat.
