Really? What do you not like?
Um, drives going out a few months outta warranty for the tune of $5k. No t one, but a few. No dealing with them. I run a huge company, we’ll be looking elsewhere in future I’m sure.

Ouch. No kidding. How many hours on them when you're experiencing failure?

My 13 year old picked up a JD 225 with 50 hours for $1000 42 inch. He can mow the same amount of grass my old ass can now on our skag in the same amount of time.

I’d have to ask my guys. DEF fluid on a off road machine? Come on.
Got two new international dump trucks, junk. Sensors all the time that need dealer repairs. So much down time it’s stupid.

It's not cutting the lawn if the Captain ain't involved.

So, let me know if you see one for $11k and you can verify it's in good shape!

Willing to bet 11 will buy this one. Came from local public auction. I've looked it over. Gonna need new rear tires soon. Pretty sure he still has the deck covers they just aren't in the pics. I almost bought it myself but my partner doesn't want it and I hate the maintenance on them. Hard to justify over the 72" for what we cut.

We had Cub Cadet ZT mower for 14 yrs and it did a great job for a $3500 outlay. I gave it to a guy that was in need of some help and bought a Skag Tiger Cat.


Mower is like a tank. IIRC, we paid about 9k. I couldn't do shit after heart surgery so the wife started using it. In a month or so she's become a pro at it and now she doesn't want me to use it because she says I cut it too short. I do, as I'm a scalper that likes to spank the lawn for growing too fast. So now she cuts the grass while I work on the fox body. I've been relegated to maintenance, making sure it has gas and oil. She sits on that ****er like she's on a throne with the power to move the world if necessary.

same shit with our Cat skid loaders, ****ing drive motors, if it's not that it's the plastic plate in the driveline that shears (which I guess is better than not having it there like a fuse).

We've got a gas Kubota riding mower for our place in NC and it's been great along with an M4900 up there and one here at work that have both been great (pre DEF bullshit)

We run all Macks and have had pretty good luck overall, we do keep plenty of coolant level sensors on hand though

I now concentrate my efforts on finding a nice unmolested Foxbody coupe (which I know will never happen) and guns and ammo that my wife will never know about.
Prepare for Brad to ask you if this relates to his thread.
