I recently bought a Farmall Super A, now it's time to get a mower for it.
Here are my choices...if you don;t mind sharing you thoughts...I'm looking to just mow a regular house lawn. about 1.5 acres. Not much in the line of trees or steep slope or anything unusual. Just thinking I might as well use the Super A to do it. New to tractors and these kinds of mowers. Although I am finding this tractor coming in very handy..anyway.
My 2 choices at this point
1) A 59" Caroni spa finish mower. He asking $650. Looks to be in ok shape, but I'm just looking a a pic on CL.
2) a Woods RD 6000 . Asking price is $850, will consider reasonable offers. This also looks good from the CL pics.
Some specific questions
1. The woods weighs 625 lbs. Is that too much to the Farmall? I do haul firewood around with the carry-all, but 600 lbs? I don't know? The Caroni is 426 lbs. Does it matter much?
2. I have a 3 point hitch on the Farmall, but what about the mower drive shaft length. Is that something to consider.
Thanks for any suggestions you have.
