New Mower

hammondc · 04-10-2014, 02:06 PM

New house has a LOT more land so I bought my first ever riding mower. Yuh!

Remo · 04-10-2014, 02:08 PM

Nice! Just glue an ashtray to the top, good to go

jhedrick83 · 04-10-2014, 02:13 PM

Congrats on both! Riding Mower+cigar=awesome. I just did it this morning myself!

Blueface · 04-10-2014, 02:17 PM

Nice!

Add a humi, a cooler, an ashtray and a T-top and you could never get me off.

Steve · 04-10-2014, 02:23 PM

Nice. My dad bought one just a few months before he died. I think it has been used 3, maybe 4 times. My yard isn't big enough, so I am trying to move it...

CRIMPS · 04-10-2014, 02:43 PM

I just bought a lightly used John Deere mower. I installed one of those steering wheel knobs. I HIGHLY recommend you do so as well. Much easier to do 180 degree turns, especially if you want a hand free to hold that cigar of yours.

Sexy!

irratebass · 04-10-2014, 03:05 PM

Nice!!! I need to invest in a new mower.

MrClean · 04-10-2014, 03:07 PM

Chip I bought an X300 2 years ago, love it!

Congrats, and +1 to the steering knob. It's a must have if you wanna smoke and ride.

hammondc · 04-10-2014, 03:50 PM

Well dang...I'll have to hunt out a steering knob. First cut will be saturday. I did an exhaustive research before buying this one, so I feel good about it.

MrClean · 04-10-2014, 04:22 PM

The X300's have very few logged problems. I have a friend who is a roving mechanic (does at home repairs/maintenance at customer homes) for John Deere. He said it was the most reliable mower they make without jumping to the 700 series.

You can't go wrong with a Deere

AdamJoshua · 04-10-2014, 04:34 PM

Very nice, now is the NO3 system one shot or is it a steady stream for extended speed?

Ogre · 04-10-2014, 05:51 PM

Sweet, I am going to be in need of one soon. I am not mowing an acre+ with a walking mower.

Dude Here · 04-10-2014, 06:03 PM

Nice! She's a beauty!

shilala · 04-10-2014, 06:59 PM

I still have my GT 262 I bought about 20 years ago. My father-in-law has it, put the wrong drive belt on it and wrecked the clutch, but it'll still bark off and run strong.
They're an awesome machine, you'll love it.

I highly recommend Deere. Like I said, I researched the shot out of it. my second choice would have been Simplicity, but they are 2X the price. HELLA nice though. Thats the best around for the 4-5k range.

They sure as hell don't make them like that anymore.
