    Well, I called up my friend (he does not know much about it) and he is selling it for someone else who has not gotten back to me yet. Will keep you posted if it get's serious. Off the bat the cooler is not big enough for me.;)

    I thought the same thing. It also doesnt have a Cup Holder?? A cooler? But No Cup Holder? ? WTF?

    I have found that the time it saves, requires little need to drink. Power slam a couple, cut the grass (about an hour now), then have a few more. Also, being a Zero Turn, both hands are used while cutting.....

    So its more of a Reward when your done. But it only holds a 3 pack w/ ice (bottles) or 4 cans w/ ice.

    I just acquired a 10 yr old Craftsman rider (42" cut and 13 HP single cylinder) in great shape. Rides, Cuts, and is pretty Fast. Thats gonna be my Sons mower and our general landscape machine, to haul our little dump carts around (mulch, gravel, etc).

    I had a 22 HP 50" Craftsman Garden Tractor, then moved up to the Cub Cadet 52" 24HP zero turn (7 yrs?)

    What are you cutting with now?

    Currently have 2 Simplicitys an older 48" and a newer 42" with bagger. Did not have to cut much the last few years due to drought but I love the zero turns especially after using my brother in laws Ex Mark Laser. Only have 3+ acres to cut but the river side is tricky, someone told me a stand up mower would work great. Believe me I am aware of the power slam before mowing.

    Yep....

    As for cutting just 3 acres? Thats still a lot and the time that a zero turn saves you is amazing. Im anal about having laser straight lines (stripes) and so even with my Old Craftsman rider, I did a 3 point turn at every turn around. About 400 3 point turns later (or 6 hrs) I was done. Then the Cub went to 3 (I was amazed at the time saved), then the Dixie took it to 1 hr... Amazed isn't the word now... Im completely dumbfounded on how fast it cuts and how smooth the ride is. Mine has small springs on the front wheels, they don't do much, but they do something. Add the fully adjustable suspension seat ( weight, back angle,front to back, and lumbar back support) makes the ride much more enjoyable.

    Some closer pics would reveal a lot of options (electric deck lift, suspension seat, etc). Can he send you any via text, email, ??

    Or better yet? A model #. The model number is # of HP and " of cutting deck.

    I have a 3374 (33 HP, 74" Deck).

    It's chained to a tree down the road. I will take more photos and look at closer tomorrow. Owner is a builder that over extended himself and has to sell off some of his impulse acquisitions (toys) due to economy.

    Well went over to the Chopper today and I guess she went Dixie. He has not returned my call, I was wondering what it went for. Since both hands are busy if I bought it, I guess there is no use looking into one of these. 15621.jpg
