Last push before buying F2690

[JOHNTHOMAS]

Guys all I can say is that I can't wait for mine to arrive so I can actually tell you what I think about it. Only thing I can tell you is that the wife will always be told it is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

And that will be the truth!:cool2:

Just talked to my dealer, I will get the F on Tuesday. I had him replace the front mower tires with solid tires they were on back order. Probably could of had it delivered today but I won't be mowing this weekend anyway. Told in laws that I would be wiping out some beans if they want me to go around some of the power poles when mowing the ditches with the larger mower. Will also have to trim some trees, read in another thread JT's wife ran into a problem with low hanging branches, don't want that to happen.

Well mowed with the F for 3 hours yesterday, after reducing air in tires to around 14lbs, it was a much better ride. Ride much better than zd326. My biggest problem is when mowing ditches I don't gouge the other bank of the ditch. With this F you will just plow through the ground if the angle is just right, but I will work that out. I know John and others talk about not getting grass on them with the rd mower (I would of had to buy a bigger trailer for the 1 inch extra width), it wasn't too bad on grass clippings. The biggest thing is there isn't much grass on the deck when done, ZD always had grass all over it. Now with all of this said about the F and the improvements over the ZD, I will also say the ZD provided excellent service to me for over 6 years. It did what I asked of it with no issues at all. I just had the opportunity to move up in the mowing class and I did. I should be keeping this F for a very long time. All is well.

You might be right but if I use the right side in the bottom of the ditch the guide wheel is at the end of the deck which helps out alot.
