spankis Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I'm about to close on a house in Carroll with just under 2 acres. It's about half wooded, but the seller is including that same D105 model mower that he bought a year ago. It's the tiniest of the JDs so we'll see how it goes, but it's hard to beat free lol.

SRTurbo04 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Your Mom spoiled you with the riding mower huh? Looks cool, I guess since you drive that grandpa car you need some excitment in your life. I bet your car and mower have about the same power to weight ratio. The JD probably out 30fts my car :lolguy: Yes this is the excitement in my life and I am ok with it. OLD MAN STATUS! I'm about to close on a house in Carroll with just under 2 acres. It's about half wooded, but the seller is including that same D105 model mower that he bought a year ago. It's the tiniest of the JDs so we'll see how it goes, but it's hard to beat free lol. You definitely cant go wrong with free. and congrats on the house, posts some details when your done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Go with John Deere... Craftsman is junk... trashes spindles and mounds constantly as well as goes through belts like no one's business (partially because of spindle issues) and I'd stay away from Huskivarna as well... I bought one of those from Lowes, had to replace it 3 times before saying screw it and getting my money back. I ended up then going with a Ferris which has been but it's some serious $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 No love for the big cub cadets? My dad has a GT2000 or GT2500 I think it is, and it's very beefy. Driveshaft instead of belt driven too. I had a Cub Cadet z-force for 2 seasons... was garbage... I had so many issues with it... Then again I have a very large yard. You honestly get what you pay for and my Ferris IS700z is a tank. Best mower hands down that I've ever used.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly get what you pay for and my Ferris IS700z is a tank. Best mower hands down that I've ever used.... What issues did you have? Just curious. And what model Z-Force did you have? LZ-L (lapbar), ZF-S (synchro steer) or ZF Commercial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was slow by today's standards, ate belts, I just hated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TA In Progress Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 commercial... had issues with spindles, the brackets that hold the deck on was welded so many times that it was nothing but welds. It was slow by today's standards, ate belts, I just hated it. +1 I had a ZF Commercial and it was also junk. Same thing, spindles, belts, and anything that was welded to the deck had a tendency to break off with ease. Replaced it with a 72 inch Hustler Super Z. Couldn't be happier.
