I know this ain't about turkey hunting, but I was needing a new mower. So I ended up just buying this one. It's supposed to be here later today or Monday. I'm kind of excited. :lol:

Nice mower,i have the zero turn 50" model.i think its a zrt 50,not sure.what size deck is that one??i've never had a problem with mine.i can cut my yard in 50 min.i think your model and mine are close to the same price.
Thanks. I have heard great things about Cub Cadet mowers. I had a John Deere before this one that lasted me 10yrs I believe. Those zero turn mowers are very nice and quick. But they were a little more expensive with the 50" deck model. I think around $3000. This one was $2299 and it has a 25 horse Kohler which is what I was wanting. The 50" deck isn't really needed but I figured it was just icing on the cake. :lol:
:agreed: mine has a briggs 22 hp,i would rather have the kolher as well.
nice :icon_thumright:
great mowers.........
You will love the Kohler motor. I bought a ToroZ5030 a couple years ago that has a 23HP Kolhler. That is the best small engine I've ever had. :you_rock:
Most kohlers are good especially the command pros. I have an exmark with one that I finally had to replace at 2678 hours when the crankshaft gear broke. There are certain models to stay away from as with any line though. The Briggs Vanguard is the best in my opinion right now as far as air cooled. These are commercial engines though and its not uncommon to get over 3000 hours out of one
Thanks for the info turkey slayer.
Mine had some extra features than the one I posted earlier. It's got a front bumper and side arm rest on the seat whcih I think I'm gonna love. I'm getting ready to go use it. They just dropped it off awhile ago.
Here's a few pictures.

Nice mower!! I like it!!
You better check the oil level in it before you use it. Just because it's supposed to be ready doesn't always mean it is.
Where's the gun rack???? ???

I have a lt 1042 and it is pretty good. The problem I have had with it is it leaks oil around the newfangled drain plug apparatus. Finally screwed it out and put a lead pipe nipple in it and stopped the leak. The newfangled 1/2 turn to drain plug can get you in a bind.
Well I think this one is going to have to go back. When I mow down my steep hill it starts smoking really bad. And I mean bad. I let my buddy's dad look at it and he said that's not right. Oil is getting in the air filter when it does that. Something ain't right. He told me to call them Monday. But he said not to worry that they will fix it and it's under a 3yr warranty. Just my luck.
What did you do, sell your intire turkey choke collection to pay for that thing? Looks nice though.
Brad; What the heck were you thinking??? This is going to cut into your choke buying money!! :happy0064:

Well actually I traded a motorcycle for the mower. So the mower is paid for as was the motorcycle. But I just wasn't driving it much.

sounds like a great trade!!
Well I thought I would let you know I called them the morning and spoke with the mechanic in the service department and told him about the smoke on my steep hill when I mow it going down the hill. He said that if you get on too steep of inline the oil will go up into the upper part of the motor and get oil in the air filter like it was doing. I told him it only does it when I get on that steep part of my yard. He said to mow it going uphill and it won't do that. So I feel better now at least. It mows real well I might add and turns like a car.
Nice! I was in the market a few weeks ago and ended up getting a Gravely 16 G professional
Does this have a pressurized system? These are supposed to stop that.
I have a 1046 and mow some pretty steep hills and have never had a problem. I have mowed up, down, and along the side. I would not be satisfied with this answer.
I've got a 2009 Gravely Pro-Master 260XDZ, hydraulic lift, 27 horse Kawasaki, and a 2010 Gravely Pro-Master 260XDZ, hydraulic lift, 27 horse Diahatsu diesel. But, I mow commercially for a living, to supplement my pension. :)
Worst thing is, it cuts into my being able to hunt other states big time! :'( Neill
My dad has a cub cadet with an 18 or 20 horse kohler. It is a very well built machine... much sturdier than my Craftsman... but cost more as well. His is a joy to mow with... if that's possible. :icon_thumright:

My thoughts exactly!!
Thought I was one the farmall forums?
I have a 682 that I bought in 1982 and it has been mowing 1 1/2 acres of grass every week for 28 years now with only a couple of minor repairs. IH made them then and it has served me well. Your machine looks like a nice tractor and I hope it serves you as well as mine does.
Nice. I have two cubs, both are awesome. One has a 27hp kohler command on it, and the other has a 25 kohler on it. That 27 hp command is unstoppable. I've mowd a field with that thing that looked like it needed a brush hog and it plowed right though it no problems. Both have been very reliable, and i mow around 35 acres with those two and a 6 foot king kutter finish mower.
