I've been needing a better 3pt rough cut mower deck for awhile and I looked at a lot of used (used up) junk and priced new ($$!) from the major heavy duty brands ie LandPride, Woods, Bush Hog. I was hoping to stay under $1k and was getting discouraged.
I found the brand new 72" King Kutter pro flex hitch on sale for $995 usd and decided to jump on it for my L3010 4wd. Very solid and well built 810 pounds and compatible with my quick hitch. I like the domed top and the new flex hitch is great as it allows 15 degress of roll right or left with the extra lower links in addition to the flex at the top link. If I drop a rear wheel into a hole or go over a ridge the deck follows the ground. I'm using it to mow around outbuildings and for trails and firebreaks in CRP acres. It came standard with a stump jumper and shear pin, I may wish it had a slip clutch at some point but so far, no issues or problems.
btw, I have no personal financial interest in any brand or dealership. I just thought I would pass this along if anybody is looking. They also make a 60".
