The local JD dealer has a used 4100 with HST, 410 FEL and a 60" Mid mount mower. All looks fine except I wonder if I would be better served with a rear mower on the 3 point hitch. I have a lot of fields to mow around (note...we're not talking putting greens here but it's not what I would consider bush-hog stuff either). All told it's about 1.5 miles each time I make a "lap". It would seem like the rear mount might be easier to clean and to take on and off. The other consideration that I have is that we have about 7 acres of a prairie restoration that must be mowed "high" (around 6"-8") to keep weeds from going to seed. I will need to do this a few times a year for the next couple of years until it's ready to start burning. It looks like a rear mower would be easy to set up that high...not sure about the MMM. Also, I have an orchard that will need mowing but I think I have the room to use the RMM. Any suggestions? RMM or MMM? I'm *assuming* that I should be able to talk them in to trading the MMM for a RMM......

Finally, any special things I should look for when buying a 4100 with 450 hours on it? Thanks!
