I didn't use this riding mower much until this year, now I have a half-acre field that seems to take about 45 minutes with the riding mower--versus 5 hours last time I used the push mower. [Bag would fill up every 2 minutes, and I don't know if it will run in a mulching mode. Maybe it'd take less time now.] Several years ago I was using this riding mower when there was a bang and it spat out part of the deck (pretty much everything around the discharge area). Seems to mow ok but I've always wondered since. Now I see pinholes elsewhere in the deck. Is it time to condemn? I've been running over poison ivy with it, and having poison ivy rashes on my neck, so I'm thinking, there may be some correlation there.
I kinda want something with wheels on the deck so it will float better over uneven ground, or maybe get one of those self-propelled mowers, after all it's only an acre or 1.5 of mowing total that I have to do. [I do like having a bagger as it picks up some of the pine needles, and does wonders in the fall.] But I can't justify getting rid of a running mower either...
