Agmate® Finishing Mower, 8 Ft. Rear Discharge

This 8' mower has served me very well. I'm half way thru my 4th year and have no complaints at all. the 1st. season I had a issue with a pully clip and A.S. sent a new one N.G. Did same also with a wheel fork damaged (bent) in transit. Keep it Greased and it will last a life time!. I grease my spindles right after use, Hot spindles take grease easier. Also pressure wash underside after eachm use. End of season I hit all rust spots with some rustoilum primer and paint. I mow 2 acres every 10-14 days and blades are still fine. Replaced 3-4 belts. Agri Supply is my go to store.

I like the mower it does a good job. I have a big yard and it has cut my time in half. The things that need upgrades are the clips on the spindles. I have lost two clips and spacers. Go ahead and replace them with a better clip. Second thing is the cotter key that holds the bar for the chains. Cotter key come out and lost some chains and spacer. Easy fix is upgrade the clips and cotter keys. Other than that the mower is well build.

Pros - Ruggedly built , simple design, easily accessible grease ports, parts available at Agri Supply, belt covers are metal (not cheap plastic), no flat tires, rear discharge doesn't load the tractor down. Cons - Non floating hitch, tire diameter seems a bit small, taller grass seems to clump after cutting.. Summary - A really good deal for the price. The design should insure a long time between failures, but if they do occur parts are available at a reasonable price. The non-floating hitch can be made better by using a soft back link (I use a chain type back link with mine) , I highly suggest this. Agri Supply is a great business to do business with ( not sponsored, just a satisfied customer).

it good.
