Now that's an expensive mower! Lol

Its a hand me down from my stepfather, wont turn that away, he buys a new one every 4 years then I get his old stuff. The one he has now was in the mid 30's, so I have no problem waiting. The small one I bought from crazy wheeler, its has 4 wheel steering and is a fairly decent small one, thats for my ditches, the big 72 makes a mess of the ditches with the slopes. Just wonder why JD charges so much, is good stuff, thats a great mower with a yanmar diesel engine. That other tractor I just listed on Kijiji for 14500, already have people coming to look at.

Is it just me or are there few people like you who buy a nice mower and never take care of the blades? Sort of defeats the purpose doesn't it?

I typically check and sharpen/reshape my z-trac blades every 3 or 4 cuts. On the smaller tractor I have Gator Blades, they chew up the grass a few times and leave it in very small pieces. My neighbour spoke highly of them so I tried. Seem to be the ticket for that for sure.

JD says they have blades now that self sharpen? Have I got a test for them. Always some gravel on the edges from pushing snow all winter

Mulcher on the 4 wheel steer.

Does it have the side shoot or a mulcher attachment that blocks that off. I may look at adding this, in conjunction with the gator blades this may work well. That mower actually works well and has good power. It turns on a dime as well without ripping the grass. I do find that the Z-trac does rip the grass on occassion.
