Lawn mower thread

Dont know your budget but theres nothing wrong with going with Lowes or HD- I bought a 22 hp craftsman 46 inch cut from Lowes a couple years ago and it has been a decent mower.  I have a couple acres to mow.  I do all my own maintenance - make sure you get the manuals for your mower - the big boxes are pretty good about free delivery but have a bad habit of delivering the goods without the accompanying operation/service manuals -  then you have to go through a ton of bs to get it like I did. Make sure you check out the specific engine online before you buy it.  Some of them have problems that could come back to haunt you.  I think it was Kohler engines that had a cracking issue a few years back.  I would definitely get one with a hydrostatic transmission - can really cut you mowing time and if you can get one with a tight turn radius do so.

No thanks.  I have EGO and I need two batteries to mow my yard.  Batteries last only 1.5 years and new battery is $450 so I need to spend $900 every 1.5-2 years just on batteries alone.  I’m actually switching back to gas.  I’m also on my 2nd EGO because first one died due to electrical issue and I was out of warranty.  I spent $3k on electrical lawn mower in 3 years.  I’m looking to get riding lawn mower on gasoline.  The reason I’m thinking dealer because Lowe’s and HD hold zero responsibility once they sell you the mower and tell you to go to dealer for fixes and maintenance.  The dealers tend to stand behind their product much better and will take care of their customers first before Lowe’s or HD customers.

Ouch. Yeah, that would suck.

Thinking about getting riding lawn mower.  Any recommendations?  Should I use Lowe’s/Home Depot or local dealer?

My old man was the small engine guy at an Ace Hardware and if I was going to buy gas powered lawn equipment thats where I would shop.

Even after he retired it was still the best service Ive ever had with that kind of equipment and the franchises tend to be locally owned.

Spend the extra money and purchase the highest grade residential Exmark. Mine has lasted years with regular maintenance. Fabricated deck not stamped and serviceable rear drives is a must.

Yeah if ace sells big riders- here they don't.  But I bought my stihl chainsaw at ace about 17 years ago and they have always had a guy in the repair shop who can get it going/repaired when I couldn't or didn't feel like messing with it.

Ace has Toro zero turn mowers, they’re made by Exmark and equal in reliability. Steer clear of Craftsman. Don’t buy from Lowe’s or Home Depot. The mowers they have are cheap regardless of manufacturer. The models Lowe’s,  etc have are manufactured for them specifically with cheap parts. 
 
It depends on how much you have to mow also. I have a small farm with lots of mowing to do. If you live in a subdivision with a small lot, one from Lowe’s would suit you well.

Most of them will last if you do the Maintenance and treat them well.  I bought a Yard Machine el cheapo riding mower when I bought my house back in 1998.  It lasted until the Covid epidemic.  

Regarding Home Depot/Lowes, they are fine if you are going to do the maintenance yourself.  Getting maintenance done by a shop can be a pain though.  They give people who bought their own mowers, or a brand they sell first priority.  So if you are good at doing the maintenance, then Lowes is fine.

My yard is only 1/2 an acre but no trees so pain in the ass to mow it during summer days with no shade and with 22 inch electric mower.  Once electrical mower battery goes to 30% it switches to turtle speed so it becomes push mower.

    • I'm not sure he's even worth signing to an extension at any point, even if he has a solid season. He turns 28 in a couple of weeks and has ONE 1,000 season in his career with better QB play than Bryce (and better coaching as well). He's a solid player, but fact remains that probably the best team at recognizing WR talent in the last 10-15 years, decided he wasn't someone they wanted to keep around.  I'd rather overpay for a better player in the offseason, and/or use our first rounder next year on a 21 year old WR with truly elite potential to pair with Legette. I like the trade to get us a solid WR option this year, but extending him now just makes absolutely no sense, it's the same problem we've had for the last decade, overpaying for average to slightly above average players. We aren't contenders this year and short of some absolute miracle happening, we won't be contenders for the following couple seasons either.  So why in the world does anyone think signing a 28 year old without a single elite season in his 5 year career is a smart move? We're not going to be contenders with a 30 or 31 year old Deontae Johnson making 25+ million a season, that's just asinine to think it's a smart move, even with a rising cap. I'd rather overpay a Aiyuk or Higgins by $7-10 million a season next offseason than pay Johnson a fair market contract.  Or try to trade for someone like DK Metcalf next offseason, who I don't think gets a new deal in Seattle, it's why they drafted JSN.
