JD MX6 Mower Good / Bad

jimont · Sep 30, 2014

Wanting to clip back a newly seeded red clover catch to prevent snow load damage. Looking at a used 8' MX6 which is in good shape. Meed at least 8' to clear tractor tires. What's the good/bad opinions of this mower. Have a 6' Bush Hog that won't clear the tires and the discharge will windrow and don't want that.

The MX6 is a 6-foot mower. To get 8-foot you need a MX8.

We ran an MX8 for years mowing roadsides with very few problems. Main one was we had to put new seals in a gearbox. Mower did a nice job. Last summer replaced it with a Woods DS96, which is the same setup. The Woods cost less and does a better job. After owning both, I would choose the Woods.
