Yes, definately keep it. As said, it does good trimming and I'm sure you're glad you kept it. Also, if you got a tounge for a trailer, you could make it removable on the mower, so you can tow it behind the JD, just outside the cutting width, and make you mower wider. As said make it removable. May have to duct tape clutch in and disconnect the self propel, but it would turn out good.
