Cee245 818 #1 Posted August 8, 2023 Been at my house with my lovely wife and 3 kids for last ~18 years. When mowing/bagging our 1/2 acre flat property last week, (i mow slow when bagging and here is something I noticed,) Out of about 20 closest similar houses/properties in my area, My 1 friend/neighbor has a really nice x738?), lady neighbor to North just got a 3rd new big box store Cub last year. She had a Toro before that and a Cub before that. 1 house down from her is someone whose also on their 3rd Husqvarna. One hired a service, Another is on their 3rd New mower of cheaply made models! Almost all of the neighborhood is like this except one back yard neighbor friend, who coincidentally has a 314H. Maybe not a coincidence! I generally use our 416h (for 90% total use, other 10% is mix WH Except for x530 I had(really nice mower). But more 💰 and I just like my WH's a little better for this place, anyway. Definitely happy with the purchase of the 416, 17 yrs ago.('06?) Not perfect by any means but looks good from 5ft. . . Lol.... i was actually laughed at by one neighbor years ago when I broke down and was having trouble getting it running. "shoulda bought a Deere or even Cub" i heard. (Isn't a friendly guy) he's on his 3rd as well. I never say anything. 💰! I try to take care of my stuff best I can, but im sensing a pattern with the number I mentioned above... 🤔🤪 -Cory 3 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 5,459 #2 Posted August 8, 2023 Cee245 You did make the right move and looks like a great runner. I hate bagging and mowing for that matter but that is just me. Enjoy the ride and your 416! Looks in nice shape. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
