Thanks. We've had tons of mowers but I don't know what the normal hours on them are for the life. But we have three right now. One with 600 hours, one with 1300 and another with 1500. I'm just curious about how far they'll go. The higher ones are lesco ztwo mowers and the lower one is a john deere 930a.

This question is like asking someone how long they will live...Your friend may buy a mower off the assembly line that gives no problems to speak of up to 3000 hrs. You may buy the exact same mower that came off the assembly line directly behind his that starts nitpicking you to death at 1500 hrs. It's all in the luck of the draw.
Gravely makes an exceptionally good mower, yet there is a gentleman in this forum with a relatively new 460 that has 335 hrs. and his right side hydro began leaking today. He made the statement, "I don't know how a sealed hydro can just start dripping," but anything made by man can give problems.
American people have a tendency not to pay as much attention on the assembly line on certain days, and that could come from how hard the night before may have been.
Your mowers at 1300 and 1500 if you've had no problems may give you good service for quite a while yet, then again, you could get on one tomorrow that leaves you sitting with a hydraulic, or engine failure.
