Riding Lawnmower

A ride on is a must have for my yard. To give you an idea of the size, it takes me about 2 hours to finish. If you get one I suggest one with a really comfortable seat or some sort of suspension. The original mower I used had no suspension/springs on the seat, ive been using that one until two weeks ago (Almost the same as the one Forrest Gump used) the thing would jarr my internal organs to the point after the first hour I had to take breaks (Yes the year im mowing is that rough in some spots). If your dads is comfortable restore it if not I would get something else.
i fail to see how a lawn tractor is cool, or fun.
now a real tractor is fun. put a heavy bush hog on the back of that bitch, pop the clutch, and see how long you can ride a wheelie... THAT is fun.

Can't get far on the tractor unless the choppers are on it.
But I did get 182' on the backhoe.
get a new one, i love my ferris
I cut my lawn with a 52'' Scag walk behind. It does a fantastic job and will improve the quality of your lawn. I would buy a commercial mower. You can buy one used for about the price of a new lawn tractor. Well worth the investment.
Get a zero radius if you can afford it. John deer makes good products but there are a lot of good mowers out there. From doing it professionally for a couple years, i picked up a few things. For a residential place like you probably have, a mower will last a long time. A lot of big zero radius mowers are for commercial use so they can take a beating.
:rockon:Hell Yeah John Deere all the way! I work for a John Deere dealership have you decided if you are going to get a Zero Turn or a regular riding mower?
ya, he could have the best of both worlds, a NEW tractor made BY CubCadet. My friend has one, they are still shaft driven and I think the brand new ones even have power steering? I just got a new Craftsman, its pretty nice. Does what we need and thats cut grass every other week and haul loads of yard brush.
I bought a slightly used John Deere GX345 a couple of years ago. Hydraulic deck, power steering, liquid cooled 20hp Kawasaki engine. Everything is easy to work on, plus it's built like a tank. Also pretty fast at 7 mph. John Deere FTW!

John Deere makes some awesome lawnmowers. That will be my first choice if I go new, but I think I'm going to rebuild the old one. They look badass restored. Check out this bad boy...
I thought at first by "zero turn" everybody was referring to the John Deere tractors that the back wheels turn as well as the front. I want an actual tractor because I intend to have land someday and I will need it for more than just cutting grass.
+1 we also have a john deere, hydraulic lift deck and drive. never changed the belt in about 6 years, (only owned it 6 years) all we ever do is change the oil, oil filter and fuel filter. get a new one.
wanna race? mine runs at 13mph while mowing and 15 transporting hahaha
forget john deere, its all about ferris
Someone say Torquemonster?:shrug:
get a new one!
I dont think hes buying for fun,Its just a tool to get the grass cut!:shrug:
restore it I restored mine and it cuts better than any new one on the market.
