I'm planning on purchasing a King Kutter 72 inch finishing mower this spring, but I'm kinda worried about how close the caster wheels on the mower will be to the rear tires; Any of you guys out there with the KK mowers have problems with this? Or am I worrying about nothing? I just gotta say that I LOVE my 8N!!! Had to get that off my chest. Did some bush hogging yesterday, was kinda sad when I got done... I guess I'm hooked :-) Brian in S. IL

Please be a little more specific. measure across battery posts.

From your message.. can I assume that when measuring across the posts, and you turnt he key on, that the bat drops to -0- volts?

I have a 2N and a KK 72 inch mower. Never had any trouble with the guage wheels being too close to the tractor wheels -- they sit far enough back that I'm not concerned at all.

With my 2N, I mow in second gear. I've heard from a few folk with 8N's that they can mow in third gear with a 72 inch mower. (Maybe I need to upgrade my tractor?)

Part of what I mow is a blue grass / fescue mix. That mows real well, unless it's way longer than it should be.

The other part is what used to be pasture. It's got everything from june grass to alfalfa to weeds. That doesn't cut as evenly if it's just a little too long.

I have a 6 footer for my 2n and I just love it. I used to use a riding mower with a 4 foot cut and it took me 14 hours to cut 10 acres. It now takes me about 4 hrs. The king kutter is built very well and its well worth the money. I have three friends who were skeptical at first until they saw it work and they now have them also.

I have had my King Kutter 72" finish mower for 5 years now and use it behind my 8N, 2N or 960. I have not had a problem with the wheels being too close on those tractors. Usually mow with my 2N which is pretty much original as in unrestored. It handles the 72" in second gear until my argentine bahia grass gets too tall then I must drop to first. This is extermely tough rapid growing grass, among the toughest to mow. Your tractor should do just fine! Go for it, King Kutter is a lot for the money.

I have a 5 footer KK and have never had any trouble. I use stabilizer bars and it tracks perfectly. The 8N might work better than the 9N that I have, but in heavy lawn grass, the 5 footer is about all I would want to go. I do see where plenty of other guys use a 6 footer, though.
