Fitted and sounds perfect. Not loud but louder than stock.

Opens up the rear carbon wheel more.

I love to see your cars. I drive a minivan that has much less HP and less displacement (!) than my Busa. Not an exciting thing to drive, but its comfortable and fits 2 adults and 4 kids with ease.

It was maintenance day for the tractor as it was and still is raining it's H.O.L.E. off outside...

Oil and filter change (when it indicates it needs a change it goes to 80% power), greased all 15 grease points, took the deck off and gave it a good cleaning, checked all belts and pulleys and gave it a waxing....(my neighbors can't believe I wax a garden tractor).

Now it's ready for the next wave of grass cutting/hauling duties...

I was on that thing for well over 3 hrs yesterday...then the joys of using the grass trimmer....that seemed to take forever...

Only plus of the push mower is that I don't have to weed-eat, as I can cut all of the trim with the push mower.
I hate weed-eating, I have a nice industrial 2-stroke Stihl too...and havent cranked it in 4 years, lol(but I bet it'll fire right up!,)

I could spend all day doing the edges and weed eating. I prefer that over actually mowing.

I wondered why the last half of my back yard cut so funky looking too.
I noticed when I put it away that the height adjustment had the left front wheel at it's lowest, so

I have a good Stihl for trade then!

At my house and the house of the senior we look after, there are a pile of things which need to be trimmed, even if I used a push mower....I spend about an hour at each place using the trimmer...

The one I have can interchange it's attachments, I have a brush hog, rototiller and string trimmer for it...

I was going to say, it's 750cc, shaft drive, power steering, power lift deck, tilt wheel. cruise control, differential lock....it's the Cadillac of garden tractors...

If you have to spend 3 hours on it at a time, you might as well have something nice if you can.
About 15 years ago, I finally realized the value of a good riding mower...it made me feel grown up...and old, lmao!!

Ever considered going from the lawn tractor to a zero turn?

My Stihl came with a string head, and I bought one that uses the 3 white plastic blades, which work really good.

i could've cared less about going to a zero-turn...until my friends started letting me use theirs.
If I ever buy another riding mower(aside from old cheapos), it'll be a zero-turn.
The time they save lets me do something other than mow grass(which I don't really mind...sometimes).

I did but this tractor is special, it will pull a lot of weight...cutting grass is only it's secondary duty, it spends as much or more time hauling implements around (aerator, dethatcher, roller, water trailer, and a utility trailer which seems to be always on it these days...).
