I bought this L2800 from a private seller in Mississippi. It had 4 hours on it. He said that something came up and he needed to sell. Its interesting that it has the next model (L3200) FEL on it. I guess he wanted a loader and that's what they had on the lot.
This is the first yard mowing at our new house. This was the last week of May. The lady we bought from said she'd mowed the yard once, but we couldn't tell which blade of grass she cut with her scissors!
During another mowing I pruned an ant infested branch on a tree with the ROPS.
Here I am giving the dog a ride.

Dave, is that a Countyline RFM you have? If so, how are you liking it? I bought one this summer to mow my 6 1/2 acres and it does an alright job. I just couldn't bring myself to pay $600 more for the Land's Pride or Woods.
And I did a little of that ROP's tree trimming when I switched from my B7500 to the 3930 for mowing. I found out I couldn't get as close with the bigger tractor.

Yep Larro,
That is a 6ft County Line. I have enjoyed using it on the 3 acres I mow and it had done a fine job except for when I tried to use it as a bush hog. So I got a bush hog. If there was a complaint I fixed it with one modification. In the manual I was given it talked about greasing the belt pulley wheels underneath the cover using the access holes in the cover. My cover didn't have the holes and I didn't feel like taking the hitch apart every time I wanted to grease the thing so I got out the 1" hole saw and remedied that.
Every branch in the yard that I can fit under has a rub mark from the ROPS.

Dave, I have the 6' also. Taking the cover off every time to grease it is a pain. I may cut holes in my cover as well. The first time I mowed my place there was a lot of weeds. It did look kind of ragged that first time, but since then it looks fine. Keeping your blades sharp, and not trying to go too fast is how I get a clean looking cut.

Larro,
I considered getting some plastic plugs to close up the holes, but I though "how much rain can get in and how many times will I replace them?" So far so good.
The first time I mowed our yard the weeds and grass were waist high to me and dang near up to my wife's neck. That and the fact that I was on a tractor for the first time in 25+ years had me mowing in 2nd gear and at the highest wheel setting on the mower. It took almost 2 days to get it mowed. That was partially because we didn't have a push mower to get under trees and I was backing up to them. It still took a few mowings before it started to look like anything.
Again, the lady who we bought the house from said she'd mowed, but you can't get me to believe it. I do remember the first time we looked at the house about a month earlier I saw that she had a Husqvarna 42" mower. I couldn't imagine mowing the yard with that.

I hadn't thought about the rain. This summer we had 40 days and 40 nights of rain, than a couple more weeks of it. I guess I will just take the cover off each time. I like to wash all the grass and dirt off the deck anyway.
I have a 42" Husqvara I used to mow in front of the house with. Now that I have the RFM, the only use it gets is the backyard and the graveyard. Well, that and the trim work. Like you I spent a good deal of time backing up under the trees the first time I used the RFM. Since then I have used one of the riders, or the string trimmer.
