I pondered long and hard trying to decide between the F3080 and the F3680. Owning a F2680 that never lacked in power in any situation I couldn't see the need for the F3680 over the F3080. For my home hillside mowing I bought the F3080.I have watched and used one for a few days ... but at $28K for a F3680 in Oz I can only watch :laughing:
Contractors use the F series (and outfront Toros) and turn them over at about 2000hrs, they end up on farms and live forever and ever![]()
Going up one of my steepest hills it got near the top and wouldn't go on up. I was about to get sick since the deal was done and the mower was mine. I finally looked down and I had it in high gear. I put it in low gear and it pulled with ease and I've never seen a need for more power and I mow steep areas and I've mown high grass and small trees with my F3080.
I have no idea why anyone would buy the 36HP other than insecurity that requires them to have to have the "biggest" one.
See, my $14500 or there abouts price or trade option is a GREAT deal!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup: And under 100 hours on it and never parked outside and never a drop of rain on it.
