Carm:
Hopefully this will work. I haven't had the tractor delivered yet, they will not land at the dealer until most likely Tuesday. With luck, Em and I will be in Ottawa awaiting the results of my Mom's triple by-pass surgery.
However, this is what we are getting:
It is a JD-L111 Hydrostatic with a Kohler engine and 42" deck. It is at the upper limits of what we can manage, and is the best quality we have been able to find. Also, because I have to watch out for exposure to the sun, Em has ordered this for me:
I know it is
Green, and it pains me greatly, it is still the best Riding Mower we have seen. Em says absolutely not to a 20 or 30 year old IH CC (some day I will have one to restore though), in fact, she really doesn't even want to consider a used mower. She is concerned as I would end up trying to service it myself and I am not strong enough yet, nor will be for this year anyways.
Soooo, I guess I will have to just get used to
Green,
So, I am going down to the dealer this afternoon and sign on for one to be delivered as soon as we get back from Ottawa.
Getting a good deal too! Beats the heck out of Home Depot - the dealer is significantly cheaper on the accessories and is identical for the mower. And he is going to give us 10% off of the accessories, 10% off the extended warranty, a FULL tank of gas and FREE delivery and setup
I like that a lot
