i1050 or called ztt50 difference 07 - 09 model

I forgot to mention that my buddy thinks that the i1050 cost more in 07' than it did in 08' and this year because of price reductions.

What's the big deal when it was manufactured?

A lot of things you buy are not in continuous year-round production and may only be manufactured once every couple of years. So what? Do you deserve a discount just because it sat in a warehouse for a few months?

The way I see it is that you got a brand new mower at a fair price... sounds to me like you're having second thoughts about the purchase and are looking to wrangle a few bucks out of the issue.

Suck it up!

You got the mower you wanted at a price you agreed to pay... what more could you want?

The problem comes in when he goes to sell it. It won't bring as much as an '09. SO you'd be happy getting an '07 Chevy 1500 truck when you thought you were buying an '09? I don't think you would be.

Im ticked to, I just bought a ZTT50/i1050 as well, after reading many review complaints/ sears version etc. I thought I was dealing with a repituable dealer apparently not. I was never disclosed mine was made in 2006/2007 either. What ticks me off the most is the one complaint many have had, the forward/reverse pedal sucks and is HARD to hold down, design changed on 08 and newer models per Cub Web site looking at the parts list. Weather its easier or not I dont know, cuz like I said basically I got a 3 year old unit. The other think that im pissed about is in not cutting level on slight dips/inclaines. Again after reaging many post on this site I was understanding the 42 or 50 was an very good deck, is that not the case?

I could of bought an 08 from home depot last year for 2200 closeout, paid 3400 from what I was lead to beleve was an 09 model. Anyone else at all know if the 06 kohler courage 25hp anf 09 are same, no problems that were corrected in 08/09 manufactured ones?

(Delivered 2 days ago, been raining storming and today was first time I used it, impressed with the nibleness of unit, will take a bit to get useto tho, but overall on a 1-10 scale, I give it a 6.5, for 1. pedal WAY to hard to hold down for an acer, 2 the eveness on slight dip/incline. Also seem slower than garbage sears lt1000 this was purchased to replace (sear never cut even from day 1, 18 service call in 4 years, and 2 deck replacements, and why I went the cub route this time, im hoping this was not a HUGE mistake.)
