Subject: RE: Let's kick this up a notch


One of the reasons the lawn care companys don't use as many front mount decks is because they take up alot more room on a trailer, it might not sound like a big deal but with two mowers your looking at another 5-6' of trailer space needed for the front deck machines and when your pulling them around town they generally want the shortest trailer possible. I know at least with the JD front mount mowers I think they only have an 6 or 8 mph top speed where the mid mounts are 10 mph and I think the front deck mowers are more expensive. I've never used a front deck mower but I haven't found anything I where I wasn't more than happy with the mid deck mower. Also in tight quarters like between buildings the front deck mowers aren't as easy to manuever as the mid deck mowers because of their length.
