Hi, Jeffrey here,
I was introduced to an Exmark 72" Lazer Z about 10 years ago. The property I work at has around 20 acres + of mow able grass. My boss and I discussed buying a lawnmower for the property and he let me pick it out.
What a great machine it has been. (Can I use the phrase "Bad ***"?) I had never sat on a zero turn before and I fell in love with it. We have had no major issues with it. Still runs excellent but it does have around 800 hours on it though and it gets serviced once or twice every year.
On to present day....I moved into my girlfriends home (we are engaged now) with about 4 to 5 acres to mow. Her parents who had been paying for the lawn to be cut, came to me about buying a lawn mower so they could stop paying for it to be mowed. I agreed with them 100%. I told her mom that I'm not getting some little snail speed Cub Cadet because I am not going to spend my entire weekends cutting grass. I told her give me some time and I'll start searching for one. A month later I found what I wanted. A 2006 31 hp Briggs and Stratton 60" Lazer Z. Has a few piddle issues that I have fixed but did cost money to get them back working like they should. Couple other issues that I will post about. So the in-laws are happy and the wife to be is cutting the grass. Win win for me.
I can't keep her off of it. She wants to cut the grass every 3 days it seems. I just hope that she'll keep cutting the grass.
Onto the posts....
