I have one that I bought new around 1991. It is a 5 foot side discharge that has been abused badly, welded back together a time or two, sat outside for most of its life and should be dead. It lives and gets used on occasion behind the Ford 1210. I have a 6 foot LandPride rear discharge for the Kubota that works well but have been toying with the idea of getting a Caroni 93 inch rear discharge.

Thanks for all your help I think you made my decision a lot easier

I have the largest Caroni Estate Mower which has 5 blades and is 93" wide. Great mower but 2 minor problems.
(1) After two seasons and just 30 hours on the mower the wheels started to peel rubber and one wheel came completely apart. This is on smooth ground and I always grease the bearings before each use. The mower is always washed off and stored inside out of the sunlight. The rubber compound does not impress me.
(2) I wish the wheels could be adjusted higher. 4" may sound plenty high but on my 8 Acres of Burmuda during hot dry weather this is too short. 6" would be my preferred height most of the time

Had a 60" model with over 800 hours on it, and never had to tighten a bolt.
