Which Mower for L3430

[Coldstream J]

I have a 2007 L3430.

I need to get a mower for it. I am assuming a rear mower and am unsure as to which model/models will fit this tractor.

Will any rear mower work with my tractor or does it have to be brand or model specific.

Any help is appreciated as I am going to a large farm auction in a week and am hoping to pick one up.

Thanks

Any rear finishing mower that mounts to the standard 3 point hitch will work. As far as manfactures go some are built better then others. Your tractor should be able to handle a 6 foot mower deck and I'd go with one that has the rear discharge option.

Thanks for the info.

I agree with Eric. A 6' mower would be a good choice for your tractor. If it were me I would do some research on several different brands and look at the blade tip speed. The higher the tip speed the better your cut will be. Just for reference, my Bushhog brand mower is about 15,000 fpm and it does a pretty good job.
