Deluxe Finishing Mower, 7 ft., Rear Discharge

I purchased this mower last summer for cutting approximately 70 acres of pasture. I had been using a 6' brush hog but didn't like the rough cut on the grass. The Agmate is just like a big lawn mower - great quality of cut with sharp blades, but don't try to cut really tall, thick grass in one pass. Not cutting as often as I should, I have to go slower than with the brush hog, but the extra foot width averages out about the same cutting time with much better results. I do have to go over some spots twice to get it all cut down cleanly. My pastures aren't terribly rough, but do bounce the mower around pretty well. I've been impressed with how it's held up so far after a full season. Please remember - this is basically a big lawn mower, not a brush hog. Go slow, be patient, respect the limitations and you'll be pleased with what this mower does. My pastures looks like a golf course after a cutting. Very pleased with the purchase.

I purchased one of these mowers 5 years ago. I have mowed approximately 1000 acres, mostly very thick bahia since then. I operate a golf driving range. I pull it with a 240 Massey Ferguson. During the growing season I mow approximately 8 1/2 acres every 6-7 days. I have replaced the usual wheels, blades, belts, spindles but not very often. I wrote this review for anyone debating about buying one of these mowers to let them know it's a really dependable piece of equipment.

I did a LOT of research before purchasing this mower. I was actually looking to buy the 8' mower, but it was on back order until October '17. Payment, shipping and delivery were easy. Getting the mower off the pallet, greased and ready to mow was easy. I was quite impressed with how quiet the mower was. My 6' King Kutter was very loud! The disappointment came about 30 minutes into using the BRAND NEW mower. Both back wheels fell off (at different times). The spring implement pins fell out which caused the wheel assembly to fall off when the mower deck is raised. Simply replace the spring pins with cotter pins and no more issues. If you are looking for a mower that is capable of large areas to mow, I would recommend this mower. I have a John Deere 5205 diesel tractor that has more than enough power to handle this mower. While it is still very new to me, I like what I have seen so far.

Read the reviews and so glad I ordered if. The folks at the Valdosta store (sales and shipping) were absolutely great to deal with! This mower does a fantastic job and cut my mowing time from 6 1/2 or 7 hours (depending on grass height) to about 2 1/2 hours!

I bought this mower for my 2 1/2 acres around my home. What took me over 3 hrs with a Craftsman 42" rider, I now do in about an hour or so. My tractor is a 1964 Ford 2000 with the red tiger engine rated at 28 hp on the pto. The Ford has no problem running, lifting or pulling this mower. The deck, 3pt hitch and depth wheels are solidly built. It comes with a roller to keep it from scraping in high spots as it floats along the ground. The two belts that turn the three spindles are large and easy to get at. I must also say the price is the most reasonable that I found after looking for 3 months. It is every bit as well made as the bush hog estate mowers that I looked at. I am very pleased with this mower and would by another. On the downside though you can't grease the spindles but so far this has not been a problem. They need to show you more photos of it also as the picture on the page is not the 7ft. It also comes on a huge pallet that you have to help the trucker remove from his pup trailer, I used my 3pt. boom and had no trouble. Over all this is an excellent product!
