well not really stories but any reason not to buy the newer models ? i have a 36" walk behind that ive had for five or six years now and that thing is awesome , not one problem with it at all . but i wasnt sure if there was any things that may be no good on the new models?

i have to demo one of the riders but with those socks on all four wheels that has to be a crazy cumfortable ride. i cant believe noone thought of the four wheeled shocks before. thats a great idea.

I would think that would be good enough reason to give them another try.

I have a 61" DD walkbehind. I love it ( the only thing is it's a little to big on some of the yards.

I have the 52", and was thinking of getting the 61" walkbehind, do you think I shoud stay with the 52" deck? I've also got a 36 quick dually.

touhey33 is the 52" to big for your lawns or do you do bigger lawns to were you could use a bigger walk behind?

The 52" is fine for most of my yards, if its a really small yard i'll use my q36. I was thinking of getting teh 61" next time I get a mower.

touhey33 can you use a rider on your yards or no? if your going that big why not ride if you can?

I have a cub cadet tank that i used to use, but am now selling. I just don't like to ride and it really doesn't save me any time on most of my yards, and in most cases the walkbehind is faster. Plus the Walkbehind is easier to work on, clean, lighter, and cheaper.
