RC7M YOUR 3 POINT KICK BACK IS UPSIDE DOWN.

[@darrenoneal8040]

I run a rc6m with my 5045e 2wd

[@chrisjimerson8790]

yes i agree there should all ways have safety when using these 100% all the way

[@DG38594]

What would you recommend for a 5045e? I have a 5' now but its too small to cover my tire tracks, i have the rears set out pretty good.

[@jonathanfrecking1210]

Deete still doesn't have a clue how to build a 3pt hitch that won't bend. I'll take my Bush Hog 3pt cutter over the Deere any day.

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

Amen. Have the rc2084 behind a 5055e and it is constantly bending the 3 point upper linkages. Have adjusted and adjusted and replaced parts but this design just sucks. Granted, operator error always an issue, but I’m looking elsewhere for light duty brush hogs going Forward.

i'm hopin i can get the RC7M
mower with the 5075e 2wd
i think that size mower will be a good size for the 5075e
