Very nice, does that say 37hp? I have a 52" pro cat and I love it but it's under powered. It was the floor model so I got a really good deal on it. I'm sure your gonna love that.

why 37hp for a 61" deck? christ i though the 32hp stuff was overkill for 5ft decks

That looks really nice. I know you will like it. I would probably look into buying another bobcat but my dealer absolutely sucks, so I refuse to buy anything from them anymore.

Looks like a beast but dam I would be throwing mud everywhere with those wide tires and not much gas tank to keep it from flying.

Nice machine! I don't know why bobcat has never cought on in this region. I don't think there is even a dealer within a couple hundred miles. I have NEVER seen a bobcat mower in person even. From everything I read on here they are great, much lower price than the "red" machines.

37hp on a 61" deck is INSANE. I demoed a 35hp vanguard big bock 61" Grasshopper last summer, frankly I thought it was actually overpowered (can that really happen?) Because no matter what I ran it over the engine never "worked". It sure sucked the fuel though! When gas was $4.00 a gallon it would have damn near broke me if I had to run that 35hp all day every day. I'd be happy with 29 to 30hp for a 61" deck, even with a collection system (blower and bagger). I have a 27hp 61" now, and it gets the job done, but I'd like a few more ponies... 10 more, no. Ponies eat too much feed.

Mower looks like a beast. Is the foot assit on the left?

Also, I see you are working on your washer in the background. I learned that you never repair a washer, just replace it.

i agree, my 27hp 61" ferris kohler eats up noticably more than the 21hp kawasaki 48", only 6hp difference, but the 21hp feels wimpy compared to the 27.

My BB brigs 32hp on the 72" ferris sucks up the most obviously, easily more than the 27hp ferris, but it mows faster, and wider so its a trade off. Yet normally i run it 3/4 throttle unless mowing all wide open and heavy lawn so its not eating so much up while running full throttle in the turns and corners and while moving slow.

Id say ideal even for heavier grasses, 48" are good with 19-23hp, 61" are good in the 25-32hp and 72" are good with 30-35hp, any more and its just eating fuel. Im not sure why guys get my 3100z ferris with only 61" deck, highest id get would probably be the 30hp kohler, unless your looking to run a VAC system on it, stay to the higher end of the numbers above or add ~2hp.
