I Bought a New Mower

[Bob B.]

Hey.

I came on a few weeks ago, and asked about buying a new mower.

I thought I'd update the group about what we ended up buying.

We bought an eXmark Quest, S series, with a 50 inch deck.

I got a chance to mow the lawn, between rain showers this weekend.

I was very happy with it.

And, we didn't blow the budget. Our budget was $4,000. Total cost, plus tax, plus back up oil filter, and air filter, minus trade in was $3,989.

Bob B,
What year/make/model was the "trade-in" and how much did they give you for it?

Bob B,

My dad went in with us on the mower, so we traded in both ours and his. His mower was a really old really cheap White rider mower.

Ours was a 2000 series Cub Cadet rider, I think it was a 2185. It was 15 years old.

The dealer gave us $250 for the pair. Basically, washed out sales tax.

Hopefully we use this one for 20+ years, until it's worth nothing, too.
