2015 JD Zero Turn...

Couple questions,

Main question, the drive units / pumps, etc in this machine, are they good units, junk, disposable, etc?

Any specific issues with this machine to be aware of?

The machine would be used residentially, small lot with a pretty decent slope in the back yard (by a sea-wall). Any issues going uphill, or sideways. Failure COULD BE catastrophic.. See below pic's.

Good price, or what would be? Obviously in a Pawn Shop so unknown the prior maintenance..

Thanks ahead of time..

Not familiar with that particular machine but:

Small/light zero turn mowers tend to have pretty poor traction. I'd be pretty leery of that downhill run on that machine...coming down the right side along the fence and taking that right turn...I don't know man.

Deere's decks give a really nice cut.

That unit has the more robust 1 inch shaft EZT, non-serviceable transmission.

I don't see a deck belt!

Personally I don't think I'd want to be running that machine there.

Go look at it. They look like toys. I would not waste my money.
