Just got a 3205 with 60" deck.

I drive a number of different kinds of mowing machines, as I maintain lawn eqpt at our church, my home, and a couple other places, as a volunteer.

The one thing the really jumps out at me about a significant, positive difference between the 3205 and others, is that the 3205 gives unquestionably the kindest ride of any. For whatever reason, it beats me up less than the others.

The acreage we mow runs from .5, at my house, to 20 acres. The big grass areas look level and smooth, but they're actually fairly rough. The 3205 just flat does better in not beating the rider around than the others.

That 3 cyl liquid cooled engine is the smoothest of all the mowers I drive. Very nice indeed.

Everything else seems approximately comparable to other mowers of the same size.

The only problem I found was that, for some reason, the deck is way off, from side-to-side. Maybe an inch out. So, this weekend I'll work on that.

The 3000 series are great machines. If more people would shop for garden tractors based on features (not price only!!), I'm sure that many more 3000 series would be sold. They are the best value on the market.

You made a great purchase. I have used quite a few other brands (John Deere, Wheel Horse etc) I have a 2518 and I think it handles like a Cadillac.
