I am impressed that you would take pictures of the burst sprinkler before turning the water off. You are dedicated to this thread and for that I am grateful.

Do yourself a favor and spend the money on a commercial grade ztr. You will be happy you did.

They are just like a tractor in that you will not believe how you got along without one this long.

Now is the time to buy.

As a former lawn care company owner, this is good advice. If you ever need you can buy a bagging attachment as well.

why not consider a MMM for your JD? you already have the tractor. a ZTR is acutally a better buy as it can really maintain the grass neatly and blow leaves, but you can't beat a MMM as its much cheaper to buy and maintain. One less engine to maintain.

I take plenty of random pics, as reminded by my wife, although many of them never go past my phone memory card. But this is something i would of never have thought of to take a picture of?

radioman,
A belly mower is actually a great idea. However, with the slopes around my yard, I'd be very uncomfortable mowing the slopes with the tractor.

One nice thing about being in the woods, I don't have to keep my yard immaculately manicured like some people feel pressure to do in a subdivision.

Here's the last summer produce from the garden. My wife picked them around Thanksgiving.

She turned them into stuffed peppers. We ate some and she froze the rest.
