Seems a front mounted deck would be a lot easier to install and do maintenance. Just my perspective.

Another benefit would be getting into some corners or tight spaces, you could push that deck right up to or even under something whereas a traditional under the machine deck wouldn't cut it. I bet you could even raise that front deck higher than a belly mower so you could potentially tackle some taller weeds/brush easier with it.
