Hey Ya'll!
I was recently looking around for a solution to all the rain and sun in Texas, as i was confronted by my yard getting out of control! I bought a used mower, mowed the yard once, and it pretty much fell apart. I then researched and found out that when you buy from a big box store..... you get put in end of line for any warranty service as cash pays much better. This is a nationwide thing. So I decided to buy one from a local power equipment dealer even if it was 50 bucks more than the nearest big box outlet. Then I did research on the actual mowers for my needs and decided it was worth the initial investment for a Husqvarna or John Deere. Both great top notch machines. I have a level half an acre I don't need a huge zero turning machine. So I found the D130 that has the vtwin and decent horsepower all going into the 42" inch deck. Awesome. Even though the local John Deere dealer doesn't stock models that cheap they shook my hand and promised they will service it same as if I bought it there. So I will post a video of the deal and the first run with it, I am really happy so far. The engine died from being unlevel and running out of gas supply I need to create part2. I did get a flat front tire but I have to remember what torture I put it through (near 6 ft tall sticker bushes with very thick stems) and it's not a farm tractor after all.
Cheers!
