    When I was in Japan, I noticed all the farm and lawn equipment there was 99% Japanese. (I saw one Volvo tractor). In asking around in Japan, I was told they want to support Japanese company's who they know will give them the service they expect. Most would not even consider buying an import. If...

    Headlights on my lawn tractor

    To be honest with you, I thought do we really need headlights on a lawn tractor? The second question I had was, do they really help? Well I started to cut my grass around 5:00 p.m. and in 10 min. it started to rain. It was more like a rain shower for 10 min. but I held off cutting the grass. It...

    Does washing under the deck dull the blades?

    The lawn mowers have the option to put a hose to the deck and clean underneath. Does that cause the blades to rust or dull them in any way. I am thinking if the grass is dry, I won't need to clean underneath the deck.

    Buying American, is it important?

    For me, if the quality of the American product (Company is American) is as good as the foreign, I want to buy American. However if the foreign is better and is in the same price range, I admit I am tempted to buy the foreign. What are your thoughts on this?

    100 Series, are they worth it?

    In having a little less than an acre, the 300 series seems to be an overkill and I don't want to spend that much money to cut my grass. I looked at the 100 series and found the LA135 to be $100 more than the LA125. There appears to be a lot of upgrades for the $100 increase cost. It appears to...
