I was just given a B7200 that needs some love. Overall its in good condition, just needed some hoses replaced and some leaks fixed. However, I've been reading around about finish mowers. Would it be wiser to buy a new finish mower say the FDR1660 or an Older LandPride 2572? According to the manual this Tractor is 14hp at the pto and I see a lot of finish mowers that require 15+. I've read that if you operate the B7200 at 2800 rpm with a 5ft finish mower it should be fine, but I'm curious if the older vs newer mowers would make a difference. The driving factor of course is cost, I can get a used Finish mower for under 1000 bucks but newer can get up to 3k.
