Nice and low hours, looks like a good deal, maybe even get the price down a little.SolarAndWood said:Gotcha and agreed. I've been eyeing this one: http://syracuse.craigslist.org/grd/2741659784.html

Probably will never happen. Been sitting in the shed for 5 years or so with the new-in-box shaft sitting on the hood. He's already replaced the mower with a bigger one. It sits in the shed right next to the dead VW diesel Suzuki Samurai that he also refuses to give up, even though he has two other Samurais! That's been dead for about 5 years, too, just needs the head put back on it...oldspark said:Danno that sounds like an interesting project.
SolarAndWood said:Danno, how do you figure out which hydros are in the machines and compare them? For instance how does an 855 compare with my F910?

How is that new place man? Are you in and settled?
Flatbedford said:Sorry about all the hassles. I hope things work out. I'll watching. My '68 IH Cub Cadet 125 is serious overkill for my 1/4 acre, but would probably com up short for you. I'll just live vicariously through you as you move to your acreage and shop for a bigger, faster, better tractor.
I like them for a nice smooth lawnmower, but ony for mowing and don't beat the hydro on it. I think I'd rather spend my money on a 5 year old upper end craftsman than a new lower end JD, but those LA series mowers sure do look pretty sitting at Lowes. Just not sure I'm sold on the idea.Battenkiller said:OK... what would work at the lower end? Just for mowing. The current owners have been using a JD LA145. It looks to be in good shape. I thought of asking what they want for it, but since they want to sell me three ton of pellets at retail price, I don't think there's any bargains to be had from them. Is this a total POS or can something like this ($2K new) work for mowing. That would allow me to shop around for a nice old farm tractor with a loader when one comes along cheap. After reading all the pros and cons, I really think the best thing for me may be two machines.

Not sure about that model but some of those fords were considered bullet proof and most any thing you read about them is positive. 895 hours and all those attachments I think that is one hell of a deal.Battenkiller said:SolarAndWood said:
Hell, that looks nice! And I could could practically drive it to the new place from Charlton (still truckless).
