To answer the OP's question -- there are actually a LOT of zero-turn options out there now. But keep in mind "you get what you pay for" in these. If you have less than 1/2 acre you could probably get by with the less expensive brands like Ego, Ryobi, Craftsman, Greenworks, Cub Cadet, Gravely...

Deere definitely made a 1620 WAM with 90" offset deck from 2000-2002. The deck was called a "single Lastec 90-inch deck" that was actually made by a third-party company named Lastec. I have seen them and they look weird for a WAM (as others have said most have "symmetric" wing decks on both...

If you want commercial you need to look at the Z900 units. And just so you know -- the "R" series doesn't mean diesel, they come in gas too. It's only the Z994 and Z997 that are diesel. As a matter of fact if you want the raise/lower button on the drive handle you MUST get the R series, and...

Yes the ones I am talking about are 2-way stops. But they have been adding the "cross traffic does not stop" signs below them. Isn't that what a 2-way stop means?? And I agree that some "wierd" 3-way intersections still need the signs. All of the intersections I have seen in my 40+ years of...

Not related to towing, but even better is the sign above it. I have seen TONS of these popping up that say "Left on Green Arrow Only" or "Left Must Yield on Yellow Arrow or Solid Green" (also annoying "Cross Traffic Does Not Stop" at intersections that do not have "All Ways" plaques under the...

Yes GM has done that since 2014 if you get the factory-installed brake control on the Silverado or Sierra. When it detects sway and/or a panic stop, it will actually "pulse" the signal to the trailer brakes as needed. Kind of a "pseudo-ABS" since it can't pulse individual wheel locations; not...

I bought the Deere one that comes on the higher-level Z900 models. It's weight adjustable and has armrests. There is also an additional frame for under the seat that is the Deere "ComfortGlide" system. I didn't get that at the time but am considering adding it. When you get those 2 things...

It depends on what you are looking for in electrics: For the average "suburban" lawn the Ego or Ryobi would be fine. Stihl and others also have them but most are built by someone else them branded for them. Size-wise it sounds like you would be in this range, but depending on the roughness of...

I put them on my Deere Z960. Definitely noticed an improvement. You will get the most benefit out of a full suspension seat, but the entire "ComfortGlide" setup will run you around $1200. Also adding some Tweels to the rear (and maybe the front but I haven't tried that yet) will smooth out the...

Yep - that's exactly why most dump trailer manufacturers don't offer spray linings, and some of them will void your sheetmetal warranty if you have 1 installed.

Not exactly related to the OP's bedliner question, but I bought one of these and LOVE it: https://www.heininger.biz/grab-handle Back to bedliners -- Another vote for the BedRug. I hate the name they gave this, because people think it's cheap carpet, when it's really plastic like outdoor...

A roller may be a little heavy for a zero turn unless it is a smaller one. I think the Deere Z900 series are rated for 400lb max with a 40lb tongue weight. You may also need front weights to keep the nose on the ground. As far as pulling it, or any attachment, Deere sells a hitch kit but it's...

I didn't read the entire thread, but another vote for Echo. Their gas trimmers are amazing. I had an SBM (pre-cursor to the PAS) for 25 years and beat the snot out of it on 15 acres we owned. The engine finally got tired 2 years ago so I replaced it with the PAS-2620 (the unit actually still...

Great video! Looks like your collection of literature is amazing! One thing missing though - I didn't see anything about the Sheppard SD-1. It was the first diesel L&G tractor (and maybe one of the first of any fuel). As a side note, all the Sheppard diesels (SD-1 through SD-4) were actually...

Yeah that works just like a tag axle, and it only works for a load in the bed. Here is the "original" patented design that works with trailers: https://www.safetytowingsystems.com/ Much more stable in both vertical and horizontal weight distribution.
