[Matts lawn care]

Get the Samurai with the kawi engine, you will not be disappointed.

I have the Super Duty. Love it! :)

Samurai is the only way to go

Has anyone needed a repair? I live in MA and would like a better myself but am a little concerened if it breaks down.

I was looking at the Fox. I was wondering how well it would work with the rider attachment. And how it compares to the basic lesco 36. I spoke to a guy at lesco and he told me their 36 is to light for rider attatchment. It sounds like the quick36 is the way to go.

I have a super fox that I had the larger wheels and caster reinforcement struts added from the superduty. My choice was based on not wanting to deal with the electric start on a walk behind. The 13hp works for me allthough you can choke it with the mulch kit if your taking off too much with too much ground speed.

Electric start aside I think that the Samurai is the way to go.

You can ask mike and some of the other guys that have 200 hours + on their units. This question came up on another thread and the general concensus is they don't break often. Even if they do there isn't much to them as far as repairing the unit goes. Engine wise it's hard to throw a rock around me and not hit an autherized Briggs or Kaw repair shop.

How often are you guys replacing the belts on your quick 36? I have had mine for two years now. It seems as if lately, i have been replacing the belts way more than i should be. Last year when i got the mower, I don't remember replacing a belt once. I am kinda disapointed because they seem to break to often. Also at what speed are you guys engaging/disengaging the blades on your quick 36? I try and do it at the lowest speed possible. Just wondering, because i already replaced the clutch on the mower too. Thanks

I have the Super Fox with the Step Saver attachment. I purchased the mower for home use only. If I was using it commercially, I would have opted for the Super Duty or Samurai. It was hard for me to justify spending additional money for the other models and the Super Fox runs great and I have had no issues, so far. The models are so close in design, it really comes down to if you really need the extra horse power. Of course, everyone thinks it's always about horse power, so you really need to look at your application.

I have a little over 100 hours on mine and it was new this year without a single issue....I have the Samurai and besides grease,oil and sharp blades its been a dream machine....hope it stays that way

[THEoneandonlyLawnRanger]

nows the time to buy them..........CHeck out there website.........some models are $200 off, and all accessories are on sale too..........dam wish i had the money now!

[S. Helwig]

GREAT SERVICE!!! I used them today. No questions asked, just sent me new parts...

However, Don't buy the striping kit with the velke...Can't use them together! Landscape package is a good deal too.

[pcarlson1911]

only got half the yard cut before I had to go to a meeting. It was great. Took a bit to get used to the contols, but pretty soon it was no problem. Stripes weren't too bad. I boughtthe grass catcher and it fills up pretty quick. Grass and leaves were wet, but everything was picked up until the bag filled.

Can't wait till I get back in town to giveit more of a test on Monday.

PC Did you get the step saver ?

[hwew]

Orderd gator blades and mulch plate and got them in one day.

QUICK service!!!

[pcarlson1911]

I choose no step saver as this mower will be use on areas that are too wet or steep for a z, plus, I could use the exercise!

This machineis cool enoughthat I want to cancel my weekend vacation and stay home and work.

I have 140 hours on mine and so far i had to replace the belt going from clutch to blades. But i think that was only b.c i cut 8 inches off at one yard with mulch plate on. Thats what i get for being lazy. Other thing is that i have to replace the battery.

[Matts lawn care]

if i do get the bagger how much extra do you charge to bag and do you charge by the bag because there will be alot to be bagged this fall.

Just picked up my Samurai today.
Too bad I have to wait 4 months before I get to use it!
It's gonna drive me nuts.
Every time I called BOP with stupid questions they were VERY helpful and you actually get to speak with a human after 1 or 2 rings!

What a coincidence! I just picked up my Samurai today as well. Did you go get it or was it shipped? I did cut my own yard when I got home and it was very impressive. With the warm snap we're having, I know I'll put 4-5 hours on it next week before Christmas as well.

[willretire@40]

I have 350 hours on my super duty. Only had to clean carb and replace battery. Just be careful and make sure the knobs are tight on the straut bars b.c they may fall off.

[Rax]

I wish I was close enough to go pick it up in person, 'cause I would've saved $100. Up here in Pittsburgh, the grass isn't growing enough to cut...even with the warm spell, so consider yourself lucky. I'll tell you what, getting the shipping container opened was soooooooo frustrating, but well worth the effort. I don't know if you've ever put together kid's toys these days, but it was just about as frustrating as removing all those litter wire ties that hold the toys in place so they don't move around in transit.

I lost a knob the first week I had my Samurai. I called Gary at BOP to get another one and he sent me a new one free. You can not beat there customer service. I have been running gators with the mulch plate for leaves. The results are awesome. Using the Samurai and my Walker has made this Leaf season a lot easier

[ranger351w]

I ordered a new super duty last week while the free shipping was on. Anxious to get it in the grass. probably about middle of April here in IA.
The reason I bought it is all the positive input on quality and warranty on this web site. Later

Good luck with it. Did you order any extras with it? (bagger, mulch kit)

[Clear-Cut]

im planning on getting a samauri with the mulching kit this summer possibly

[ranger351w]

I also ordered the landscaper package. I didn't get the Samuari because after calling the plant they told me that the 13hp. would do a great job and that I realy didn't need the extra power. So I ordered the 14.5 Super duty as I am not 25 anymore and probably needed elec. start. Hope you get the Samurari you want. Let me know how you like it.

Can we see some pictures of the Q-36 and the lawn it cut? Thanks.
