selling my Z

[longviewlawncare]

I am gettin ready to sell my Z. I lost the big account i bought it for so i no longer have a need for it. It is a 2002 JD M653 Z-TRAK with 60 hours on it. How much do ya"ll think i can get for it. I Paid cash for it when i bought it so i don't have to pay off a loan. Any help will be appricated.

So what will you do if you get another big account?

[65hoss]

So you spent all that money for 1 account? Since its already paid for and its a tax write-off, why not keep it until its needed again. You at least have the ability to go after bigger stuff now.

[LAWNGODFATHER]

Why don't you use the Z instead of the 48" belt drive WB?

This more sence.

Ditto what Hoss said also.

I say hang on to it since it's paid for. I have just down sized myself and still have three z mowers and 2 walk behinds for myself and a helper.

[gogetter]

Seeing as this mower is a 54" rider, and your other mower is a 48" walk behind, would make alot more sense to keep the rider and sell the wb.

They're close enough in size so that any property you're using a 48" wb on, you should be able to use the 54" rider on.

More productive, less fatigue. Plus you still have it for any other larger lawns that come along.

I could see it if all your properties were real small and your other mower was a 36" wb or something like that, but these are too close in size.

Think of the wb as a back up, or if you ever take on a helper, he can use it.

keep it.

well see here is the thing i forgot to tell you. I just inherited a Ferris Z from my uncle and also have acess to a JD 1445 outfront whenever i want it. That is the reason i am selling the Z-trak. I agree it makes sense to keep the rider and i am just not this one.

Hey guys remember writeoffs are only good as long as your making money.

[lawnman_scott]

Sell it and take the write off, who will know you dont have it? But you probably wont get nearly what you want for it.

[HOMER]

I think I'd sell the Ferris and keep the Deere!:D

[John Gamba]

Sell Both and Get a Real Mower.

Johnny G. :cool: :cool:

[lawnman_scott]

And a real mower would be?
