billandkim,
Not being smart, but since you have already bought it the only answer you would want is: GREAT DEAL, MAN what a trader you are. :)

Normal buyer remorse to wonder after we buy any major purchase. Hope you enjoy it greatly and you no doubt got a good price.

I use a 72 inch RFM on my B2710 which is 27 hp gross and it does fine. I have some thick zoysia that can require me to slow down. I have HST and normally cut with it in mid range with no problem at full ground speed. Don't have a FEL on mine, but you probably would want to drop it before cutting. Am assuming your lawn is very level for such a wide mower. If I were buying again, I would want a rear discharge deck so I could trim with either side. kt

Frank, will also join with the others in prayer for Steve. Will ask God for his grace and guidance, not only for Steve, but his family and loved ones. It is good to know there is a God who not only cares but has the ability. Sometimes things are just like we want, and other times they may not be, but his grace and ability are amazing. Kenneth

Randy, since you seem to be a peanut butter pie expert, why don't you test the recipes and post the best one for those of us who are not experts? Tough job all the testing but Art seems to be willing to help. :)

Over the last few days TP has failed to open for me a few times. Have no idea if TP was at fault at all for one or two of those times turned out to be IP problem but it seems TP would fail to open when another site would open.

EW, My old or is that ole buddy...
The product the rep uses is rather high (not sure the exact price right off) and it does require an applicators license to us again if memory is correct. I know he puts it in the pond himself and does not just sell it to us.

I just realized who you remind me of and think he was based in Michigan also...TIM THE TOOL MAN! So why don't you put a long intake and exhaust on your BLUE tractor (since it is already blue it will not miss the oxygen) and just bush hog the cattails? I would suggest you get an oxygen tank as the curtails will let the water in the tractor cab. ROFLOL kt

EW, please, do not attempt that. It is only a joke. I want you to be sure you realize that was hunmor, do not attempt it. Ok, since you will think on it, post pictures. still LOL

Look at your owner's manual and see if you are comfortable with what needs to be done. The only item I have used dealer for on any service time was checking valve adjustment.

I do use Kubota's filters for one big reason, no one else has a listing here on the tractors I have. I think it is Shell that now has a diesel synthetic oil but could be wrong on the brand but at Tractor Supply the price was reasonable in the gallon size. I went with the synthetic with my last change and the brand is just not locked in but right sure it is Shell Rotella. Not sure that Mobile One (which I do use in gas engines) is rated for the diesel.

Now, get the containers for the old oil, rags and get oilly. kt

I don't use a tractor tiller but some of them have a belt drive that also could be slipping. Some have slides to control the depth of cut and you could also have worn blades. Just for fun, how deep does your tiller cut? How hard is the dirt you are cutting? Does it have roots or stones? If you are new to pto equipment, it is easy to not run the engine at as high rpm as you need to, look at the 540 pto indication on the tach and that is about where you probably should be. Since you got it from friends, have you ask them? kt

Murf, it is my guess you don't scalp the grass either in your mowing. A lot of homeowners here like their grass short, which tends to let weed seeds sprout very easy. Most have no idea at what height their variety of grass does best. Matter of fact some lawnmowers tend to not have sufficient high setting for some grasses. kt

Pitt, I believe you will find Murf is correct. Depending on what the house is built from and if moving it is not an option, you may find someone willing to tear it down for the lumber in it. Recycled lumber is really in and to me high price. kt

The steep slopes probably makes a ZTR a bad choice in a mower for you, but with the pond and the 2 deep gullies how are you cutting those with the outfit you are looking to buy?
