I'd offer $1500 and watch the expression on his face... if he looks really irritated then add another comment such as "or maybe a little mower, what were you thinking sir? " After all, this thing is 6 years old now.

No need to worry about any of this... it's a free country and people have the right to buy whatever they want and throw it away when it breaks down and buy another one. We all have out opinions and we should allow others to have their as well without worrying about what they do or don't do...

No, I actually understand the greed that mankind has. We have the technology to build all kinds of eq2uipment to last a really long time at a reasonable cost... but, they simply won't do that because it's to their advantage to make things designed to breakdown so they can sell more stuff.

I'm not sure I even know where the land of Oz is. That would be the game plan!

C'mon man, that's a fresh steaming hot load of horse hockey! I know it is because the big companies used to make things that lasted a long time and then the pointy headed college guys decided if we make things to not last so long we'll get to sell more stuff! And, they learned they could cut...

I was looking on their website and the Dixie Chopper 2454KW uses Hydro-Gear ZT-3100 transaxles so maybe their higher end mowers use Parker. I cannot find any pricing to compare their to Spartan. I find it odd that they would not put pricing out where other manufacturers do.

My neighbor not only got a new riding mower... he put mag wheels on it, dual exhaust with headers, a blower, and he lowered it. Now he's entering lawn mower racing contests! And when he mows his grass, it's really fast!

I told this guy I'd see if I could find a place thru the internet that rebuilds these things so let me know if you find anybody. OK, thanks! Sounds like a good overview of my options. I may opt for the Spartan RZ-HD mower since it has the Parker HTE 10cc Transmissions which is the hydraulic...

Who are these people that asked for mowers that crap out after a few years??? Nobody in their right mind wants something designed to not last a long time. What's obvio9usly going on here in all industries is all the big companies get together and have decided to design stuff to not last long...

Uh huh... the oil last forever? That's bogus and they are trying to sell new parts and new mowers!

The HD mower uses "Parker Hydraulic drives" What's the difference between a hydraulic drive transmission and a hydrostatic transmissions? The hydraulic drive transmission must be better sing it's only offered on their more expensive mowers that label as being heavy duty

What about Spartan Mowers? Is this a good brand? They use Tuff Torq 450 transmission with steel gears according to their website They say their mowers come with charge pumps which should help transmissions last longer and perform better https://spartanmowers.com/rz-pro/

Great, thanks for the info. I know somebody that had a mower with bad hydrogear units and he's looking for a company that rebuilds these. Is there a place that does that? I'm hoping to not have to go thru all that which is why I'd like to buy a mower with better quality transmissions.

I saw a thread earlier and a guy was saying his mower had an Eaton Hydrostatic Transmissions I've heard some have had problem with Hydro-Gear not lasting very long. Is Tuff-Torq considered to be better?

I heard of Eaton Hydrostatic Transmissions Aren't there two other brands?

I doubt he's looking to start a fight. He's wanting to know what's the best thing to do in order to get long service life out of his mower Since oil does not last forever, I'm betting the manufacturer would like to see the oil NOT be changed so the transmissions wears out quicker and they get...

Hi guys, I'm in the market to get a nice zero turn radius mower for a property I'll be at where I'll have to mow about an acre. I'd like to get a good high quality mower and wanted to get some input as I heard some folks here use these things to make a living and probabl;y have used different...
