Being a gear drive...getting it spinning should be fine.

I run the same size behind a 955 and can run the belly mower too

Its got 4 wheels correct?...if so you just need to tow it mostly.
One that only had rear wheels.....not as desireable.

Price is right...Check the spindles.
New thats probly just shy of 3k........theres money left if it doesn't fit your needs

 

Yep, it has 4 wheels. I thought the same, if I can’t use it, I could resell it.

 

Go for it. If it bogs in the tall stuff, just down shift a gear.

 

You will be lucky if it's still available at that price. You should jump on it!

I bought my 72" Agmate finish mower when I had a 2WD 855 with 19 PTO HP and it ran it fine. Still running the same mower behind my 4310.

 

yes get it.

I have a 60" finish mower I use behind a 750 and it handles it with no problems, I wouldn't hesitate to run a wider one.

 

Sounds like it’s a no-brainer! I’ll be pulling the trigger on this, hopefully this afternoon.

 

I just bought a 72 incher, rear wheel only and so far my 1025 has had no problem running/towing it.

 

Well, it mows really well!
After picking up a new pto shaft from Georgia Equipment, and filling it up with gear oil (it was bone dry, probably a leak somewhere) I finally got a chance to mow. I did have to switch which hole my stabilizer chain was connected to, to reduce the sway, but overall it went without incident. Except for huge piles of clippings, because it took so long to get all the parts in hand.
Be kind, this is my first time mowing with a pto finish mower. Heck this my first time mowing any yard, at all. We moved in here in December and before that lived in a townhome, where they mowed as part is the assessments. I’ve ran push mowers before, but mainly along the side of the roads throughout my Sportman’s Club.

 

You can use pourable grease in the gearbox if it's leaking a little.

 

Sorry in advance.

Cornhead grease in gearbox if 90 wt leaks out.

Raise it up at least an inch or more....You got it a touch low from what I see.

Yea I see that flat land...Wheretf is your ROPS..?

 

Not all of them had ROPS. I could see why his doesn't, if it didn't come with a loader.

 

I see the loader is aftermarket.

I'm not the rops police...Just was curious.

They had a program that helped pay for one...I think I read a few weeks back it may have ended.

Wouldn't hurt to look into it as they are spendy...or if your located right you may have a tractor wrecking yard nearby.

Jack the mower an inch and go back after it.

 

cut looks okay to me, just don't let it so high next time.

I think the ROPS program still exists but is out of money, second hand info so not sure on that.

 

I didn't think to ask if it was side or rear discharge. Too late now. The side discharge is going to leave rows of discharged clippings.

 

It’s a side discharge. I don’t plan on letting it get that long again, now that I have everything, I should be able to stay on top of it. I was planning on mowing again in 5-7 days, we’ve had a lot of rain up here lately.

 

I would only wait two or three days then go over all the mowed areas again before the clippings settle down and start smothering out good regrowth. Those clumps aren't good for your lawn. You might try slowing down your ground speed to give the spinning blades a better chance of chopping everything up at full PTO speed.

 

Time and patience and you'll get it down and make it look good.

 

That’s the problem with those large side discharge mowers, the grass is more likely to clump up coming out of the chute … Rear discharge is the way to go …👍

 

I feel bad that I didn't think to ask if it was side or rear discharge before suggesting you should buy it. I think you got a good enough price on it you could flip it and make a few bucks or maybe modify it if you have the skills and tools.

Rear discharge is the way to go on finish mowers. They will still leave clipping from high grass but it will be less concentrated.

 

I too prefer rear discharge large mowers but in the OP's case I think he got the mower at a good price. Once he gets the clumps and windrows cleaned up with some vigorous mowing he should be just fine.
How many lawn mowers do you see around which are rear discharge?
