From 1981 to 1986 I was Buildings and Grounds Supervisor for a local public school district. We had a 971 with SOS that we used both on a 7' finish mower and a blade for blading snow. It was great for our purposes. You couldn't have found a better match between the tractor and that 2 bladed finish mower.
