Agmate® Finishing Mower, 6' Rear Discharge, 6FMOWR
This Agmate® 6 foot finishing mower will allow close mowing to shrubs and buildings for faster yard maintenance. Either side may be used for close trimming, which is a feature that is not available on side discharge systems. The rear discharge gives you an advantage for eliminating grass buildup in uncut areas; it also reduces blade wear and fuel costs.
The high lift blades lift the grass and cut it cleanly. It then discharges the cut grass neatly to the rear of the mower path. The 42 inch discharge throat provides an almost unobstructed flow of cut material and the chain guard allows the grass to be safely and smoothly discharged.
This 3-point mower has 4 caster gauge wheels that adjust the cutting height and allow the deck to float with the ground contour. The solid rubber flotation tires are not affected by punctures or tire pressure loss, ensuring an even cut every time.
The finishing mower has 3 belt driven blades with a chain guard. The mower has category 1 hitch pins installed, and a quick coupler PTO driveline shaft is included. The recommended tractor HP for this mower is 22 to 50.

I bought this 6ft mower from Agri Supply in Greenville, NC. It was fully assembled, but the gearbox was a bit low on oil. It had some grease on the fittings but I greased everything again to make sure. I disassembled the PTO shaft and greased the fittings on each U-joint, both sections of the slip shaft, and the plastic bushings at each end of the yellow PTO cover. One of the wheels seems to have rough bearings and doesn't spin freely. Some grease helped it a bit, and I'll see how it feels after a few uses. The 6ft mower does not have a anti scalping roller in the center, but badly needs one if your yard is not flat. I scalped a section the grass in front of the house where it starts to slope to the ditch. I purchased a roller for the 7ft mower (part# 020052 - Item# 102408 - Front roller assembly for 7ft mower) and installed it. Check your PTO shaft clearance when you raise the mower all the way up if you install this roller. Mine is against the roller at full lift. I use the mower with a John Deere 855 compact tractor (24 engine hp, 19 PTO hp) and it works great. I was a bit concerned that it would bog down the engine since it has a hydro-static transmission and electric PTO clutch. You can't gradually engage the PTO like with a clutch, the electric operated clutch is either on or off. But it doesn't bother the engine at all, just rev it up and engage the PTO. The mower is actually pretty quiet while in operation, and does a good job of mowing. I purchased mulching blades for it, but the mulching kit with the covers was not available through Agri Supply. If the grass gets too high, the mower will leave clumps of grass behind. I probably need another counter weight or two in the front. I have 75 lbs right now, and it's not hard to get the front wheels off the ground if I start too quickly. I appreciate Agri Supply's customer service, I called before making the 1.5 hour drive to get the mower to make sure everything was in stock and they had it ready when I arrived. They also had the part number and website where I could order the mulching kit if I wanted it. I also like that the manual for the mower is on the same web page as the mower. I can print it out since the one that came in the storage tube attached to the mower was soaked. — Joe from NC
