I hope this is in time to be usefull. I have a 755 w/ MMM and property with lots of small (8 to 12") oaks. I really like the MMM for what I use it for. I mowed my property once with my father-in-laws compact Ford with a RMM,and decided then that I wanted a mid-mount. A couple of hints:
If you have a loader, remove it to mow (if you have trees). W/O the loader my tractor handles just like a large garden tractor. My wife was skeptical, but once she tried it she's hooked. I have to fight her to mow. Removing the loader makes attaching the mower much easier. It's not hard, but practice WILL make it easier.
The only complaint I have is that I also have a 7 BH which uses a sub-frame. I can't use the mower at the same time, AND, the mounts for the frame must be moved to allow me to attach the mower. There are two "hangers" for the mower that have spring load pins, and guess what, the BH mounts are just a little too close to pull and lock the pins. Still, for me it works. I don't do much BH work in the summer (too hot!) so I just install the mower and leave it on. I give a big thumbs up for my mid-mount. Oh, and buy the way; if you're mowing tall grass, just don't lower the mower. Hope this helps.
