It's a AMF4211. I didn't think I had enough tractor for the 14'. I cut about 28 acres with it. I save a lot of time and fuel. My 6' finishing mower would take all day and part of another.

The blades are easy to sharpen, but 6 are left handed. You are stuck buying blades from the dealer. The 3 right are available from other places.
Good to know. I missed out on one last month. I'm not in a panic for one but am going to move in that direction if the right one comes along.

The fact that the outer mower decks fold up for transport makes sharpening a lot easier right.

I have a Land Pride RC3712 folding cutter and I swear that sharpening the six blades on that beast is a lot easier than sharpening the two on the RCR1884. I can use the hydraulics to raise the center deck to gain easy access to the two blades in the middle, and with the outer decks folded up it couldn't be any easier to service those blades.
I pull mine off to sharpen, but having the decks folded up , makes the job so easy. I have a few sets of blades and simply swap the dull blade with a sharp one. I can sharpen old blade at my leisure.

@S-G-R that's an interesting top link connection, I noticed mine popped up out of the top QH hook and folded back twice when mowing the other day ... I figured it really only needs to be in the hook if I want to raise the whole mower ... But thought I might put some kind of restraint to hold it in ...

I don't remember if the two flat plates came with the mower or with the quick hitch.
