    GR2120 vs BX?

    We recently moved to a new home in southern NH. We have a 2 acre lot with no landscaping at the moment. So I will need something to mow the lawn, help out as we garden, and remove snow from a 75’ long driveway. By the time I add a mower deck and a plow blade, both of these machines seem very...

    GR2120 headaches

    My GR2120 is now 8 years old, I think. It has about 550 hours on it, and I have to say it has been the source of far too many headaches over the years. Last year the deck gear case went. Now, gear cases will go but I would submit that most gear cases on top of mower decks don't cost $1500 to...
