Hi folks,
Weæ±*e moving to a new property in March, 3.3 acres, figure somewhere between 2/3 and 3/4 acre of grass to mow (rest is house and trees), and I知 in need of a lawn mower. Havenå¥� seen it in person yet, but from pictures it looks mostly flat in front, but the back has quite a bit of a slope down to the water (also has a walkout basement for another idea of the slope). Driveway is about 500 of gravel. Between the hills and the driveway I僧 thinking I probably want an X500 series or better.
A new X570 is $8447 CAD, an X580 is $10,163. I found a 2006 X720 with a 54 deck, 47 snowblower, and MCS for $9500, it has just under 500 hours and appears to be in great shape in pictures. Not sure if that痴 a good price or not. I couldn稚 care less about the MCS, but the snowblower might come in handy in the future (Expecting generally mild winters but the occasional snow storm - house is located near Yarmouth, NS).
Third option might be a used 2017 X570, 320 hrs with a snowblower for $6000. Even has a bit of warranty left.
I like the idea of the 720, and 500 hours seems really low, but it is a 15 year old machine - how long can I expect it to last without it becoming a money pit?
Thanks!
