A Dedicated Mower

[BrokeFarmerJohn]

Congrats on your new purchase!

I was REALLY REALLY hoping you didn't buy a new cub. That dealer was correct and was totally honest with you, I would have a lot of respect for that man after he said that.

There's only two makers of mowers worth buying.

1. John Deere x3xx to x7xx series.

2. Anything made by Husqvarna.

Stay as far away from MTD as possible. 217 Who Makes What? – All Zero-Turn, Lawn And Garden Tractor Manufacturers

Everytime I look at an MTD product and I start to ask questions I find that they won't last.

A Husqvarna from a dealer is one to buy, they have better decks and some are fitted with a better trans.

Just cutting grass, get Husqvarna, planning on working ground and pushing snow, buy a x5xx or x7xx series JD. Dollar for dollar Husqvarna is VERY hard to beat.

Stay away from the JD D/L lines, there no good and over priced.

Apparently you haven't tested a new XT3-GSX.

I have not checked in for a while. I have mowed a few times with the W.H. it is a really nice strong tractor mows great. Like I said I have a W.H. that I bought in 95 so most likely I will mount the snow blower and cab back on it this fall and there it will live.
I was thinking the other day what I have done to the 95 since I bought it new. I replaced the battery about 6 years ago for the first time ever. I changed the solenoid once but later found that I did not need to after all. I put in a new spark plug a couple years back but the old one was still fine I think . And I change the oil each year this summer the fuel pump is getting weak I think so I bought a new one just in case. That's it in 22 years I have and do own all manner of power equipment and nothing I have ever owned has been this trouble free. I am hoping the new 2003 will be as good to me !
