3 decades ago I was cutting "bush hogging lol" a tall field with an electric hedge trimmer. Had it connected to a hand truck with wire coat hangers. Had FOUR 100 ft 12 awg cords connected to a 20 amp variac to boost the input voltage to 135 volts no load This bizzare red neck gizmo cut well for 2 years until it grabbed some discarded Barb wire and this broke the teeth off the powdered metal gear in the gear box. I was cutting stuff 3 to 6 ft tall.. New gear was 9 bucks mail-order with 5 for shopping. Bought 2 gears and still have that hedge trimmer today
I looked at both of them, and at both top end tractors. I walked away with a Husqvarna TS 354 XD. with a Kawasaki Engine and a "54-inch deck. Too many negative Deere comments on various websites for me.
I wish that I could purchase a zero-turn. However, with bad slopes I have to settle for the Husqvarna riding mower with the limited-slip rear-end--it can't be beat! You can't escape plastic. Ford puts plastic oil pans on the Mustang GT now as well as all their 2.7 Ecoboosts!
Unless youre buying a heavy duty commercial mower, a diesel usually front mount they kind of are. They are at the end of the day throw aways after 10 years. We've been using Toro diesels on our farm, latest is the 455d 126" cut. Got it for just under 6k with 1500 hours. Lucky find. It will run forever if taken care of. Our Toro 322d went 6700 hours before it broke a rod. Vtwin is the way to go.
The worst part is when you finally decide to move the pile around and waaaayyy at the bottom was the part you needed the whole time…😂 gets me every time
