I am looking for a 3 pt finish mower to go on my John Deere 4wd 950. I have been looking around. I am looking at the 7 foot rear discharge Woods, the 7 foot rear discharge Landpride. I have ran across a seller of an Italian Mower by the name of Caroni. Can anyone tell me about the reliability and the performance of any of these mowers. I have heard the rear discharge land pride is having lower bearing problems and the company is working on a fix. The Caroni Saleman says they are as good or better than a Woods ???? Anyone who has used a Woods and a Caroni who could tell me how the Caroni performs ????? There seems to be about a 25 % price difference on the same size of Caroni as compared to the Woods. Thanks for the Help !!!!

Could Someone tell me the Specifications on the John Deere 950 MFWD Tractor. I was looking for the Engine Displacement, the Engine and PTO HP, and the standard features of the 950 MFWD. Do these tractors seem to be as reliable as the 750, 850, and 1050 ???? Any problem years to avoid when buying used ????? I would want to pull a 7 foot finish mower behind it, would the 950 have enough horsepower to pull it ???? Thanks for the Help !!!!

I appreciate the responses. This board is a great place to learn about Compact Tractors. I have about settled on a 790. However, I am not sure I can swing a 4w drive with my tight budget. Should I not even bother to get a 790 and opt for a smaller conventional mower if all I could get is the two wheel drive version ???? What benefit would the 4wd provide for mowing??? I can appreciate the resale part of it, but the 4wd option would use up the money that I was planning to use to buy a 72 " finishing mower. One additional question, is it customary for the JD dealer to charge $ 110 to unload and another $ 120 to set up the Tractor. Is this normal, or should I try to negotiate this point.
