I refuse to buy anything else that is not diesel. First thing we did years ago is bought a MF 135D to go along with the MF 135 gas model we already had. Since buying the diesel, the gasser rarely gets used. Much more lugging power at idle (ie...you don't have to run it wide open to get it to work), much less fuel cost, less fuel consumption, better dependability all around. Then, we started over with the lawn mowers...... First bought a JD LX188 that I loved, and talked my grandad into buying one like it. Then, stepped up to a JD 455D. IT IS A DREAM! I haven't done anything to this mower but change blades and oil in 8 years. Just get on it and drive. The LX, with the Kawasaki gas engine has to have a full service every year. Spark plugs, fuel filter, air cleaner, the works. Several times, we have managed to get some water in the gas tank, and had to take off and clean that out. Just two experiences, but since then, we have also bought two more diesel lawnmowers, and my pickup is a Ford Powerstroke. Seeing is believing! I even talked my dad into a new diesel pickup! He would have to leave home if he bought a Ford, so he bought a Chevy. Just my $.02! I have diesel in the blood now! I even do a little tractor pulling with a turbo DIESEL!

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
