[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1058822, member: 14713"] Curious why you would never get a 8' 3pt mower? Can't see that it would be all that much heavier than a 6'. I think I would like a 8' mower for the simple fact that it should cover the tractor wheel tracks that a 6' can't. My 6' JD mower was a heck of a load at times for my Ford Major (45HP) and at times I felt unsafe mowing roadditch. I've also used the same mower on my Ford 9600 (130HP) and my new Kubota M126GX (108HP) The big Ford or the Kubota don't even know the mower is back there. The irritating thing to me about using a 6' mower is that I always have smashed down vs mowed grass on both sides because the mower is not wide enough to cover the tractor wheel tracks. And even if I wasn't lazy, I don't consider narrowing the tractor wheels just to mow road ditch to be a viable option. Mowing felt like I had been in the middle of a 30's dust storm at times with both the Major and the 9600. :yuck: :yuck: :yuck: This fall was the first time I used the Kubota to mow with. Felt like I had died and gone to heaven! :banana: :banana: :banana: [/QUOTE]
