As long as you can get service and warranty work done and they support you and the mower. I just wished you spend the extra money and get the grandstand:smile:

I wish just don't know if I can justify the extra $3000 grand at this point. Third year in we will re look at it. Might still, gonna sleep on it and maybe see if dealer can somehow get it down some more I think toro offering $500 off grandstands right now.

Don't put the price of the machine in the front of your mind. Look at your dealer and find a machine that will benefit you the most. You seem all over the place on what you should get and what you are looking at. I'm with Ric on Gravely and Snapper mowers not being that great. But you're dealer seems to have a lot of options. The reason I suggested a walk behind over a rider other than the reasons I provided is that you can mow anywhere with it hillsides, slopes, uphill, downhill. Basically anywhere. I know it says to keep the mower off of slopes over so many degrees but you can. I just believe if you're going to have one large piece of equipment then you should start of with a walk behind. Overall just pick what you can use often in the properties you have.

Now I never said Snapper and Gravely were bad mowers, I said I wasn't a fan of either but I'm not a fan of a walk behind either. A walk behind is not a bad mower for a backup but not for your primary mower. As far as slopes go 15 degrees is the limit but the grandstand can go up to 20 degrees and the engine is capable of 25 degrees.

Ok good so gonna pull the trigger tomorrow
Going with the kawi fx although the dealer is trying to tell me to go with the brigs cuz he has one on the way and $600 Cheeper on top of that he says there a lot Cheeper to fix:/
But I think if I get the brigs I will always be unhappy with that decision. Plus next year or the year after the re sale value with be better with kawi when I go t get my GRANDSTAND ?

Wow the Briggs is $600 cheaper than the Kawasaki, I wonder why :laughing: The Fx will put that Briggs to shame and your right resale value will go way up with the FX Kawasaki, You'll be a lot happier with the FX.

Ya know I rode High end bicycles and trikes that cost thousands of dollars for years and one thing I learned was if you want to know what the best bike is or what is coming out new for bicycles or what was the best equipment groupo to use all you had to do was watch the pro's. Watch the TDF and see what they the Winning Teams were using and that is what you put on your bike because if it would take the abuse they dished out you knew you were never going to hurt the stuff and in the end you got the greatest percentage of your money back on resale.
It's kinda the same thing with Lawn-care equipment. You look at the guys that do or cut for a living and not just one and see what there using and when you see a mower that has 2 or 3000 hrs or a piece of hand held stuff the guy has been using for 10 or 12 yrs and both are still running strong you know what to buy. Now it probable wont be cheap to buy but if it last that long it pays for itself many times over.

 

[briggs]

new Briggs are junk i would go with kawi

 

[jay stortini]

Thanks guys!!! I am pumped I will let you know how she works out once I start cutting with it! But by the looks of this little bad boy I will be able to get in and out of most places and be able to also cut a couple larger lots in an ok amount of time.
It's compact tough and fast for the price I don't think there is anything tougher that also comes with a kawi fx!!! A floating deck The S50XT will be machine for me in my second year
Will update once it arrives and I drive it around for a bit.
