Price Paid : $6,100.00
Years of Use : New Owner (0-1 Year)
Implements : bagger, 44"deck
Purchased From : dealer
Strengths power steering, very powerful (increases speed going up my steep hill), tilt wheel, DIFF LOCK is great in spring mud,
I am pleased I spent the money to buy the last tractor I will ever need. I expect it to be mowing 30 years from now.
Weaknesses parking brake light in dash doesn't work
parking brake has popped out of lock a few times. Mowing height hard to adjust and know how tall the grass will be when done mowing
Hydraulic deck lift really sensitive
Bagger chute comes off with deck movements during mowing--most annoying.
Dealer isn't helping with much attention
Deck wash system is so-so.
manual has very few detailed instructions
Oil drain hard to get to--hose is included, though.
Overall Should have bought a used 1872 or 1864 with same features. If I had problems with that, at least I could say it is used.
