Hi Just wondering if there are still any fans/operators of Front Mowers out there? I know everyone is crazy about ZTRs, I am not a huge fan of ZTRs, but would not hessitate to try out a Grasshopper with the deck out front. I just bought a 1997 Deere F1145 Front mower this past March...

Hi Guys Well yesturday morning I went to look at a 1997 John Deere F1145 Front Mount Mower. It comes with a 60" mower deck and a 60" 22" Diameter Rotary Broom for the front of it. It has FWD which is a big plus. It has around 2,297hrs on the 28hp Yanmar Diesel. Started her and drove her...

Hi Just wondering if anyone has started using the Robotic Lawn Mowers yet? How do they perform and work? I have seen some video's of them cutting and am not sure if I am impressed with the quality of cut, as well as you still need to use the string trimmer from time to time. I guess they are...

Hi Well, I got back from the dealer today with my 455AWS. The dealer said that they fixed the oil leak in the transmission. After about an hour of use with the 455, it started leaking again. Very disapointed and frusterated as this dealer usually offers great service and advice. I will be...

Hi Guys I am having trouble with the transmission on my 455AWS. The tractor moves and works great but there is an oil leak coming from it that I can not find. The oil does not leak from the transmission when it is running or cutting grass but when parked sitting in the shed. The transaxiel...

Hi Well, I got my 455AWS home this week. I am very impressed with it's performance and power of the engine. The transmission is a concern though. It seems that the transmission leaks oil after the transmission has warmed up. The good news is that the oil leaks only when the tractor is shut...

Hi Well I have had my 425AWS since March and it is great tractor, however it is a little hard on fuel, especially with the 60 inch deck. My local Dealer is now getting in a 455AWS with 60 inch deck with 823hours on it. How is the Yanmar on fuel consumption compared to the Kawi 20hp? Any major...

Hi Well grass cutting season has just started and so far I am very impressed with the 425AWS and 60 inch deck that I bought back in March. The quality of cut with the 425's 60 inch deck is very impressive and the deck really spreads the grass incredibly. It does a better job of spreading the...

Hi I am still getting used to my new to me Deere 425 AWS with 60 inch deck. However when I engage the PTO at the recommended speed( in the manual) the tractor will die out but after a second, it returns to normal full operating power and after the mower runs it is great. Any suggestions as to...

Hi I was wondering if a "54" deck from the X series, will fit a 425? If so, is there any modifications needed for it to fit or are they not compatable? Take Care Jason B

Hi I have been seriously looking at buying a John Deere 425 -455 with AWS. Over this past weekend I went to look at a 445 AWS that is coming up in an auction. It is 99 model, athough the engine runs good, the machine has 2,765 hours on it. I was wondering if anyone out there has ran or seen a...
