My old Bad Boy was 11 yras old, and used up. I was going to have to replace it, as well as a trim mower, and weed eater. I had about settled on a $5,000.00 zero turn mower, one like this would likely be in the $10,000.00 neighborhood, new. I'm 77 , fat and lazy, and got to wondering how many times I could have my yard mowed, and trimmed, for what I a was about to spend? I estimated the amount of interest lost, or paided on this amount of money, the cost of fuel, oil, filters, parts, etc and estimated the life of this new mower, and other equipment, at 8 years! Guess what I could have this lawn work done for 8 years for the same amount of money, or less!! I pay a lawn service $75.00 per mowing, about one acre, they mow once a week in the wetter part of the summer, and every two weeks in the dryer part, these guys have top of the line equip, like this above, and usuially have three YOUNG men do the job very well in about 15 or 20 minutes! I usually set on the porch in a rocking chair, of inside under the AC, if it's to hot, and say GOOD JOB GUYS!!Does anyone else like to mow? It's about to end for the year and I bought a new to me mower. This is a good time to buy due to going out of mowing season. I thought if I’d waited this deal would be gone and prices would go up in the spring. I couldn’t pass it up!
I've used it one time and this thing makes beautiful stripes. I thought my Hustler did a great job, but it doesn't quite compare to this. And it shreds the grass like no other. It shoots out almost a dust.
Not that I would ever mow at this speed, but it will cut at 10.5 mph.

It needs a Rat Fink decal.I does kinda look like an old Don Garlits dragster.
Buffalo grass for me. I mowed a friend's lawn for the summer while his wife was getting a new liver. He had Buffalo grass and it almost killed me. Just a plain old dust mask wouldn't work I had to mow with a genuine GI issue gas mask. If that wasn't a sight to behold for passing motorists.I found out through allergy testing that I was allergic to Bermuda grass. I will shower asap after mowing and that helps keep the symptoms down. (Send me the pics of some guns.)
I'd like to hear more about the PTO link. @ OK Corgi RancherI WISH I could do all my mowing in 1.5 hours. Takes me 3+ hrs...over 4 if I do the ditch. That includes hooking up the brush mower, too. I did just get a PTO Link gizmo that makes hooking up the implements to the tractor PTO take like 15 seconds.
I like it so well sometimes I drop my dick and plow my neighbor in the yard!
OH HELL NO!!!Before you move up here build you a mother in law shack somewhere on your place and then bring her’s and your parents with you.
Problem solved…..well maybe?
I would be OK with taking that long to mow if it meant I had a lot of property. I look forward to the day that I can make use of a good zero turn mower (or a tractor with a finish mower).I WISH I could do all my mowing in 1.5 hours. Takes me 3+ hrs...over 4 if I do the ditch.
