Mower upgrade JD Z445

[Cup of Joe]

I just upgraded my mower yet again yesterday. I took delivery of a new Z445 (they didn't have any 465's, my 1st choice) replacing my 2 year old 135.

All I can say is holy *rap it hauls serious *ss across my yard. I maybe able to cut my mowing time below 2 hours now instead of 4 hours it normally take me. I actually can't wait till the weekend comes so I can see how fast I can cut my lawn's. My son had a huge grin on his face when I let him drive it around the yard. Since its all hand controls I should be able to put him in the seat for a while as well.

I'm still using a Lawnboy I bought when I was 12, some 22 years ago.

Got to love the 2 cycle. Deck is on the way out I have it patched with spectra, fiberglass, and formica in some 50% of the deck.

I'd love to say I was still using the same mower instead of my 3rd mower in 5 years. I should have gone super-massive 5 years ago for that to be the case or commercial as someone had suggested to me. The reliability of any of my pervious mowers where not a problem but time spent in the seat is always going to be a problem.
