2500 Club

[bwmarine]

Well I just joined the 2500 club... a 2550 will be delivered on monday. Been looking for a while and I do think the cc you get the biggest bang for the buck and you are not buying a name.
Will get some pics when its delivered. Checked all the local places that sold cc and found only one that would discount below the manufacturers recommended sale price. They paid my taxes for me a 238.94 discount, 4 g's out the door!!!

I just bought a new GT 2550 today too! About the same price as you, so I guess we both did ok. I get mine Tuesday night after work. I searched this board up and down and do agree that the 2500 series is the best deal going right now for a GT. Congrats!

Congrats guys. I hope you enjoy them as much as I've enjoyed mine.

Yes, congrats! It's a good machine. Also makes me feel like a got a deal for once. My 2544 was $2999 + tax in 2005.

I know how we all like pics!!! Delivered about 330 this afternoon...

Will be at least another week or two before I can do anything in the yard... still some 3 - 4 ft snow banks yet where snow was blown over the winter. Did manage to repair the drive(dolomite) where it meets the asphalt with the big tractor as there was quite the large speed bump coming onto the pavement.

Very nice! I also like where your dealer put his sticker. The color and location work well with the rest of the tractor.

Yeah... was thinking about taking the dealer stickers off... but it really does not look too bad. Usually the removal of dealer stickers are the first mods I do to anything I buy. I'll leave em on for now.
The arm rests had to come off though... I know during spring clean up I will be on and off the tractor at least a million times lol. They tend to flop down where you have to put them up to get on or off the tractor. Maybe later when its just mowing I will put em back on.
Cant wait for the snow piles to go to get some tractor time in though...

Any of you use the mulching plug? I got the mulching plug and will probably try it with it on and off to see how well it works.

 

[CCinCT]

I tried the plug on my 44" deck and didn't like the results. The problem was I'd have to mow every 3 or 4 days to keep the grass short enough to not clog the deck every 30 minutes or so. Now I have the chute guard off completely so that the clipping disperse much better, and and very happy.

Thanks for the heads up! Will try taking off the gaurd as well!!! If I dont need it it will give me another 5 inches of clearance as well.
