My brief history of riding mowers is 1. a 5hp unremembered brand with a 20" cut, 2. a 8hp Snapper with a 32" cut, 3. a 11 hp Murray with a 36" cut, 4. a 12hp Poulan with 42" cut, 5. a 18.5 hp Murray with 48" cut and now a ZTR Swisher with a 60" cut. I have never bought what I'd call a higher class mower. When I went shopping for mower # 5 I had decided to spend some $ for a better mower. Wound up at the JD dealer and almost bought a JD but here's what happened. I asked the salesman why I should pay triple for a JD when I could go to W-M and buy a Murray for 1/3 the price with the same cut/hp/drive but I knew didn't have the quality. He said that the JD would last 20 yrs. compared to 6-7 yrs for the Murray. I'm sure he was right but my statement to him was that I didn't know if I wanted a mower that would last 20 yrs. because they, like most everything else, improve with change. So I bought the Murray. Now, I'm thinking that my next mower may be a higher price/quality mower so there I go again. I do know that it will be a ztr unless something better comes along. Just another way of looking at it. Good luck with your JD and I'm sure you'll like it.

She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
