Ty...I put it back on the horizontal parking brake bar. I actually did not see why it was even needed to be there in the 1st place. The mower cuts so fast, that I wont be able to put alot of hours on it just mowing my 2-3 acres of land over the next 2-3 months. It only has about 15 hours on it...

Funny story...yesterday my neighbor was mowing his yard with his $6000 kubota zero turn and his deck belt broke. He came over to my house and asked me if he could finish his 2 acre yard with my mower and of course I said , yes. I never use a hose on my mower....I always blow it off with a...

I certainly appreciate everyones help and theres really only 1 thing thats been said in this thread that I disagree with...the blanket statement of " you get what you pay for" . I feel it is a innacurate statement because I have bought high dollar name brand items that underperformed...... and...

I dont consider $4250 cheap...LOL....most money Ive ever spent on a riding mower.

I fully agree, the brand name is awful. I try and look at things from all sides. The kawasaki engine and the hydro pumps would not be considered " cheap , bottom of the barrel components , IMHO.... and those 2 items are the most important/expensive items. The deck is thick 7 gauge metal , but...

"You get what you pay for" is one of those blanket statements that I do not agree with. I could mention many items Ive bought { many of which came from overseas} that were very inexpensive compared to name brand- much more expensive items of the same function, and have been very pleased with...

Page 22....its called a clamp collar - its #25 on the illustration....I think thats it. Oddly, they do not show it as a 2 part clamp collar with 2 bolts that hold it together . Thank you for your help.

Can anyone identify what these 2 pieces are and where they go ? I found them laying on the top of my worldlawn mower deck. They are about 1.5 inchs in length and 1 of them is threaded ...it looks as though the 2 pieces would bolt together { 1 bolt on each end } around something. I just bought...

Ty...so a visual inspection of the hydro oil in the reservoir, around the 200 hour mark is a good indicator of the need for changing the oil/ filters. If the oil still looks clean/ not milky in the reservoirs , then check it again around the 300-400 hr mark . In other words, do not change the...

In your honest opinion , for the average residential owner that only cuts 2-3 acres per week 4-5 months per year , is it even worth it for the consumer to change their hydro oil/ filter ? Would they really see a significant increase in the lifespan of their hydro drives/pumps by changing the...

I imagine alot of people change their hydro oil like the guy in this video ? Just look at all the dirt/dust around his filters and resorvoir cap.

I contacted HYDROGEAR and asked them if they are the supplier of hydro pump/drives for WORLDLAWN. Hopefully I will get an answer in a few days. I would be shocked if they said no, since WORLDLAWN does advertise they use hydrogear drive/pump systems.

I guess I could contact HYDRO GEAR directly and verify if they are the sole supplier of the hydro systems for worldlawn ? It sure would be risky for the company to advertise they are using OEM - original hydro gear systems and then actually be using a cheap forgery/ copy of them. I did contact 3...

Thats very interesting. If Worldlawn was using fake hydro gear ZT-3200 for the last several years in their mowers , I would think it would have been revealed by now and the company could face massive lawsuits/ fines from owners/consumers and surely the real HYDRO GEAR corporation could sue them...

In your opinion, it is probably better for the majority of consumers that use their zero turn for residential , to not even change their own hydro oil or the hydro filter ?

I can assure you that if and when I catastrophic unexpected issue arises, I will mention it on this thread because I also feel it would be nice to have more info/ honest user reviews on this particular brand.

I am reviving this thread because I find the topic interesting. I would assume, that if the hydro fill tank and the drain plugs are easy to clean / access , it is advisable to change out the hydro oil per factory spec , but in doing so , it may be best to do it during a day when there is very...

Do the welds under my deck , seem to be on par with the welds you had seen or does it look like my welds are a improvement over the welds you had seen a few years ago ?

I just took some photos of the welds underneath the deck and I fully agree those welds do not look as good/ proffesional as the welds on top of the deck. I have to wonder if the welds under the deck are done by a human because the weld beads are sometimes so irregular and the welds on top of...

Opinions on this subject ? I dont want to do it, if its a waste of time/ money or if it can cause issues like belt slippage.

You can find a used SWISHER BIG MOW - RIDE KING...they were the 1st zero turn mowers, started back in the 1950s and built for many decades. It has a 32 inch cutting deck, is very small, lightweight and easy to replace belts. It is a 3 wheel design where the front single wheel, turns a complete...

Any opinions on the 20-50 w kawasaki oil that has the zinc additive ? Is it worth the extra money to use it for every oil change or only use it for initial break in period, or dont use it at all ?

I appreciate the history on the company. I admit I took a calculated gamble . I called several local service centers for this brand...I think there were 4 places....1 of the places told me they quit servicing this companys mowers , mainly because they had too many issues with the motor which was...

heres a screenshot of the specs of this specific model. 7 gauge steel deck, is also impressive, IMHO...and with a dry weight of 950 lbs, I would imagine its much more heavy duty then the average $3000 mower at lowes/ home depot ? It would seem difficult to get a dry weigh of almost 1000 lbs...

The company claims they have " triple layer spindle support" on this diamondback mower, which I assume means that the area where the spindle bolts to the deck, is reinforced with thicker steel/layers. I would imagine that is a nice feature also ? If I get a chance this week, I will inspect...

The F525 I own runs and mows perfectly. It has about 780 hours on it. The 1 real negative of it, is it is quite slow...top forward speed around 4-5 mph. That also has a Kawasaki engine on it, but it is a 1 cylinder, which is often frowned upon by mower/ engine mechanics for these heavy mowers...

I noticed you mention the blades being brittle and flying apart. I did inspect the blades on this ,and they sure seemed to be heavy duty , but then again, that doesnt mean they wont be brittle but they were surely made of thick- heavy steel. I would think, if this brand had alot of issue with...

I did some searching online and did not find much about them on the lawnmower discussion forums. In fact, much of the few conversations about this brand, often ended up being about how unpatriotic it was to purchase them due to them having parts made in china. I will only be using it for my 3...

Heres some photos .

Been reading about zero turns for a few weeks and did not want to get the very cheap big box brands in the 2-3 k price ranges. I found someone that was only 10 minutes from my house, that bought this diamndback new, last year - its a 2022 model with only 18 hours on it. He moved to a new home...

Maybe since I like simplicty, id be better served to find a decent used john deere tractor - mower GT245 with 54 inch deck ?

Ty for the replies. It has the Kawsaki FR730V engine , so I figured that was a solid engine. Maybe $2800 is to much for a 11 year old entry level - lightweight commercial mower with 325 hours. I currently use a John Deere F525 from 1996 which is a 48 inch front cut zero turn, but it doesnt use...

Ty....I had read that out of the zero turn mowers, the BADBOY is very easy to replace belts and do routine maintenance. Do you have any suggestions for a 48- 60 inch cut mower that is reliable but easy to maintain ?

Ty...the seller is a dealer who got it from original owners. It looks clean and im hoping the 325 hours on the meter are accurate { I wasnt sure if dealers/ owners had a way to turn back the hour meter} . I can ask the dealer if they have changed belts, oil etc..but then again, they could not...

Is this a good deal ? I had read that the 1 negative aspect was the 3 deck spindles being sealed and needing replacing every 200-300 hours. It has the kawasaki engine , 325 hours- and the deck lift is manual, done by a foot pedal, which I like. Anyone know if the 2 hydro drive pumps on this...

I have about 1 acre of grass to cut . I wont need a zero turn or any real expensive riding mowers. I would like to purchase a used , reliable, easy to work on riding mower , maybe 28-40 " cutting deck . I had read that the snapper riding mowers from 2013-2018 should be avoided due to changes/...
