Looking at a B1550 hydro with belly mower

[Frostbitten]

im looking at a kubota b1550 hydro, 4x4 with a 54 belly mower with bi - turn?

Tractor looks good, just over 1000 hours. price right for this area


My question is, im thinking about buying it for the belly mower to mow my lawn.
I have a fairly open lawn, so the 54" deck would be perfect (i have a 48 scag now)

Then i would also have 3pt which would come in handy more than a few times

What im wondering is what quality of cut will i get with the belly mower and sharp hi lift blades?
Will it put nice stripes in the lawn?

years ago i had a few b6100s and b7100s, so how does this b1550 compare size wise?


Let me know what you think, i like the idea of a 54 belly mower on a small tractor, however if you guys think it wont cut good (quality cut) than i dont want to spend the money on it

Im fairly picky when it comes to the lawn, i want it to look nice when im done...i dont want it to look like i mowed it with a brush hog

let me know what you guys think!

I had a 1994 B7100 with a 60" deck. It did a nice job of mowing, but they don't "stripe" as well as something that has rollers across rear of mowing deck. The 3 point lift on it looks stronger than the B7100, but is still pretty limited at a little over 800lbs at the lift point.
