Wow, absolutely didn't know that?? I thought the deck itself was raised or lowered by a manual lever on the mower? Thanks for the update

Thanks enigma-2 for the clarification. I too thought it rather odd that the Broadmoor 44 would be a step back in comparison to the Regent 38 as far as striping and ground clearance? It just didn't make any sense to me? Anyway, truth be told, the striping is of little importance to me as I do...

So it sounds like you're saying that the Regent may stripe and cut uneven grass better than the Broadmoor? Also there maybe a way of having the deck on the Regent lift higher for transport into a shed or from going from driveway to grass without gouging or scalping? Wow, it looks like I have to...

Thanks for the heads up. I also feel you get what you pay for and if the Regent 38 is giving you so much grief it's definitely not worth keeping. I had no idea that the low hanging deck was a problem so that was good to know seeing that I would have to go from driveway to grass several times to...

enigma, what were the main reasons for the switch? I'm definitely leaning towards the 44 Broadmoor but the idea of a smaller mower like the Regent is appealing too.

I'll do that and ask about the differences between the 44" and 48" decks. I was more inclined to get the stamped 44" deck however as I heard it isn't as heavy as the fab deck? I would like to be able to remove the deck each fall to clean it out underneath and to remove and sharpen the blades...

Bkeller500, many thanks for the information as it sure does ease my mind a bit. Being 68 ( in the tooth) I still plan on using my Honda push mower at certain times when conditions are favorable. Thinking mainly when it's cool temp's and no leaves to worry about. The Broadmoor 44 however sounds...

Wow, great information. The one area I see that is mentioned more than a few times from user reviews is when mowing wet or longer grass the roller bar on the deck can get clogged fairly easy resulting in the bar not rolling but rather tearing your lawn?? Has anyone experienced this? Thanks, Ken

I'll take a look, thanks.

Good to know. I also started to look at the John Deere x370 mower but I get mixed views on it's bagging system. Plus that it doesn't have the free floating deck making it more prone to scalp your lawn. Really looking at a deck size no bigger than 44" because of my smaller lawn in general. Thanks

Sounds good, thanks.

Hello, new member here and I need your advice. I am looking at the 38" Regent or 44" Broadmoor mower for my 1/2 acre lawn next spring. I am a total rookie at a riding mower as I've always used a push mower for my lawn. But as I've gotten older now (68) cutting the lawn has gotten to be a bit...
