Here's whats good for me. The past 12 yes I've mowed our 3 acres with this old beat up tractor. Its a John Deere G110. It has served me well, but has also been a major pain in the ass. Knowing we where in need of a newer mower we had been saving for one.
Last week I was at a job that the house sat on maybe a 1/2 acre lot and there was a huge 60" deck Hustler Super Z sitting in their garage. After doing some investigating I was able to figure out it could be for sale. I told the guy let me know if you come up with a price. Sure enough he did and after doing a little market research (thanks for letting me bend your ear CJD3). I walked away with a absolute steal. Ended up getting it home for $3000.
Needless to say I'm giddy. I think if I was mowing and got in a wreck with a smart car I'd win.
