Any advice on whether to buy JD MX8 or a Rhino TW96? Leaning towards the JD, pricing is similar. Rhino also has a SE8 model which is lighter. Plan on mowing basically weeds & grass on vacant building lots (34 acres), so the SE8 may work. JD dealers recommend semi-mount versus 3 point hook-up, any advice on semi-mount versus 3 point? What are the advanatages to a semi-mount (will pull w/ a JD 4440)

Bought MX-10 last spring that is semi mount, It works through the ups and downs very well, Price was comparible to other brands, traded a jd 709 for it which they are very good mowers also.

I bought a Rhino rather than JD and am very disappointed. The Rhino blades are either so soft or poorly mounted that they come up and hit the the housing and put a continuous dent in the housing all the way around. We replaced the blades once but the issues continues.

When we were looking at the Rhino's I had seen this on another Rhino but discounted it as over abuse, not so.

I would suggest the Semi-mount or a machine that has a very flexible third link. I have seen a lot of rotary mowers where the 3pt frame work is all bent up or busted because the 3rd link was too rigid. Think about when your tractors rear tires go into a hole or your backing up and the mower is trying to rise up a grade, it puts remendous stress on the three point connection.

Just my two cents. Paul
