Hey, thanks for joining. :thumbsup: I'll echo what the others said... that's a nice Massey! Do you use the MTD for tighter areas or as a backup machine?

I have about three acres to cut between my place and my moms. Used to use the MTD and my mom's Craftsman to mow and it took about 3hrs. Bought the Massey in the fall of last year and cut my mowing in half. Just use the MTD for trimming where the Massey's ROP will not let me get at.:biggrin:

Read my post in this forum about garden tractors vs CUT's, you sure opened a can of worms....:laughing:

Doesn't the ROPS fold down? The one on my JD does but it's still so high I have to be very careful going under our fruit trees.

No ROP does not fold down. the GC2410 model with the backhoe does though.:confused2:

To me, a ROPS that will not fold down tends to limit where you can go with a mid size tractor. If the one on my JD didn't fold down it would not fit under a standard 7 foot high overhead garage door.

Don't have that problem, just trees. I trimmed them high enough for the MTD, I guess I will have to trim them higher now for the Massey.:smile:
