Bought A New Mower

[daddy]

my parents got a Hustler a few years ago, first mod was to put on the spring'd front wheels, rides sooo much better as it can take bumps better. what engine did you get with it? we got the Kawasaki 21hp, more than enought power to get over any hills while mowing.

just be carful, it can do wheelies

24HP Kawasaki. It doesn't have the flex forks but I am currently looking around for the best deal on them. $240 ain't bad for a cushy ride.

That is a simple monthly payment.

I can mow our 1.9 acres in 50 minutes. It use to take me almost 2hrs when we had the 1972, 60" cub cadet tractor mower. All that back and forth to turn was a major pain and time waster.

That's $240 for the forks, not the payments. I was going to pay cash but they offered up 0% financing so.. hell yeah.

Home ownership is soooo over-rated.

I am sick of it...I am ready for a townhouse...if only you could get one with a 3+car garage. Dammit!

I'd have to agree. A Condo is probably in my future. We'd like the thirty fifth floor.

You should have waited. Hustler Raptor is going to sold at Lowes and Home Depot here soon.

Hustler Mowers Being Sold at Lowes and Home Depot

The Raptor is an entry-level residential mower - Exactly what I wasn't looking for.

True. Im sure they are going to sell other models down road if you just wait it out. You have come bought Craftsman hydrostatic 54in mower for $800 while your waiting.

So, this is the sage advice you offer? Instead of buying what he wanted (he wasn't complaining about the purchase) he should wait, and hopefully acquire a reliable used piece of equipment which will further depreciate, but hopefully require no additional cost (meanwhile, still not what he wants) and hope that eventually the local box store will come out with something similar to what he really wants?

That is epic planning. Bravo, sir.

I called the dealer earlier and they are going to cancel the purchase. I hope whatever mower I get from Home Depot this Fall can handle the hay field that will be my yard.

Monthly controlled burn, while waiting on Home Depot inventory?

I think this hay baler was over worked.

I could weld five together and push them with my Teryx.

My grandfather had a 4 acre lawn that he cut with a Cub Cadet, pulling multiple reels. He swore it was the best cut. People wanted to play golf on his lawn.

So funny, he owned a Honda and Stihl power shop, but always used other brands
