[John Deere Mann]

Looks nice...but why did you choose garden tractors over commercial z's? Just the ability to run more attachments? Also have you thought about adding a z? Not bashing by any means...I am just curious.

 

[Scag413]

Btw, that is a really nice trailer. It looks good.

 

[mowerdude777]

Very nice setup but what made you go for riders instead of ztrs or wbs

Alot of customers here do not like them. There is bad blood with people that use them. They fly around and tear up the lawns. I tell them its not the machine its the operator using them. So i went with the tractors and get more business. First question is do you have zero turns. No,please come cut my lawn. I get more business with my tractors.If i would switch i would loose them.

Back in 1995 there was an option for a heavy half ton. I got it on this truck. 4 shocks total on front and in the back the leaf springs are huge.

thats a very interesting approach. those are some meaty tires you've got on the back of those JDs I'm surprised those don't tear up the turf a lot.

That"s not a lot on that motor. When you get around the 300K mark, than maybe she's getting a bit old.

Makes sense to me. You have to do what it takes to make your business grow. Besides...you did buy some sweet tractors. They are very nice machines.
