[QUOTE="IL cow man, post: 862346, member: 16742"] When looking at disc mowers you need to look at the size of the tractor you are going to use with the mower. Mowers with individual gear boxes weigh more than the ones with the open bars where the oil moves up and down the whole bar. Does your tractor have weights and a heavy enough 3 point hitch to take the heavier mower. If you buy a used mower make sure the cover is in good shape as a new one is $900- $1000 as it is made Kevlar. The new Holland, case Ih, Massy fergason weigh more than the Lely and Kuhn. I myself would not want a 9' bar on anything less than a 60 hp tractor and 80- 90hp is much better. Just don't by the Rhino DM 7 mower. I replaced the DM 7 I had with Rhino AGM72(I believe Kuhn makes this mower) and there is no comparison between the two. I would have got the Kuhn mower, but I was able to trade better for the AGM 72 as the other dealers know the DM7 is awful. [/QUOTE]
