WHY LEAN GREEN MACHINES ARE THE BEST

ewoss3 · Feb 15, 2002

maybe they should install a Lo-Jack system on the greens, or is it already installed therfore they have jacked the price up

Yes, Green machines are the best. That's the reason I own one /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Yikes!! Robert, you don't even own one yet, and you're already into color wars! When it comes to tractors, I'm color blind! (I stole that from JMIII, but it's true) Since I won't buy new, whatever I can get the best deal on, with what I need is what I get. The tractor I have is grey. I'm shopping for my second, and I don't care if it's purple if it's in good shape and has what I need, for a good price!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I know Buck. But, it's more that olive green color that I referred to in my post, not the emerald green color of the LEAN GREEN MACHINES. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Oh, you've got me thinking on this one Egon. I'm now going to build a variation of this line of thought into my original post./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Yep, you've got that right Dan. It's all about quality. I've had other colors, other brands. Given enough time, I always had problems with them. When I turned green with first JD111 in 1984, I've never had a problem since. The JD111 still runs great and cuts as well as the first day I used it. Likewise, I've had good fortune with the JD 425 -- not a problem in over 400 hrs of use. Next purchase will be the 4710 this Spring.

Regards,
"The Lean Green Machine"

No Rich. That's not entirely true. I do have my JD111 and 425. Sure, they may be little guys /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif but I've had them since they were new and haven't had a problem with them since. I have had other tractors -- 2 Cases and other color lawn tractors. Always had problems with them.

BTW, everyone I did post this under Off Topic and Just for Fun. I fully respect your 'colors' /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif and maybe I'll work up another post someday to give you guys the respect your colors deserve. Will have to put my thinking cap on though for that one. /w3tcompact/icons/clever.gif

I nearly went green back in my tractor shopping days. It was the color  $$$  that stopped me. The tractor was more expensive, as were the parts. And at the time, the 4300 was having all sorts of problems that scared me into thinking I might have to pay out even more  $$$$  when the warrantee expired.

So I went orange as in less $$ and as in HOT, like "Wow, is that girl HOT!." Besides, living in a tourist town I wanted something the rubberneckers would notice before a collision! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Hate to say it but my tractor is orange. Parked it in a grove of fall foliage maple and oak last fall and had to wait for the leaves to fall before it was recovered.
