Hello Superman
800 hrs is a pretty good amount of hours. Any idea of the engine size or hp? Cast Iron sleeved? Last rebuild if any, maintenance records? How much cutting do you do during the winter months into spring? I'm just an old farmer type guy, but I have bought alot of equipment for sons and others to work with. I bought a Stanley finish mower. With a Honda GXV 530 Engine with a 54in wide deck at Northern Tools this past May. I don't use it myself. Too Old and wore out. ( me not the mower) Plus I have enuff young pups who are strongin the back weak in the mind. No complaints out of it at all and it makes a great cut. It has a floating deck and cuts between 1 1/2 - 4 1/2 inches. Max speed I think is 7-8mph. but that's 5 mph faster than I want to walk. The big plus to me is it only cost me $4,230. I had a 10% coupon for being an online shopper. They honored it with no problems. You might consider something like that because you could get 2 new for the price of 1 used. That way you could send two workers to two different locations. If you are adding more accounts then time is money. Plus right now if things slow down during the cold season, you can keep some of your money in the bank but waiting to buy the second one in the spring. That's just an geezers point of view. hope it answered more questions than it caused. Rick in the Smokies
