Who has both a Suburban AND RJ58? What’s your favorite and why?

Recommended Posts

We’ve got a pretty decent handful of nut roasters here.  5 Suburbans and 3 RJ58s of various conditions.  Of you who have one or more of each, what is your preferred model and why?


I’m considering thinning the numbers a bit and am having a hard time which one(s) should go.

Can't help you... I have had a lot of Wheel Horses but none of those two models.  Being that I am 6'5" 290 lbs I wouldn't think I would be to comfortable. I did own a Lawn Ranger, are they smaller or roughly the same size ?

Well, I've had'em both over many years. The steering on the suburbans is much better but RJs are just old school cool.

My favorite for some reason was that rusty crusty 401 I used to drive at all the shows. I gave it to my father since he wanted to try a small one and that thing could win a one pull start contest 10 out of 10 times

My advice would be to let go of some and keep one of each as a plan but that doesn't mean the plan don't change.

That's a tough nut to crack Kev. First thought is to let go of the 'Burbs but then again...:confusion-shrug: it's like cutting off a thumb to save a toe. My recent theory is if it doesn't come out to play or work on a regular basis time to go. Don't ask me how well that is workin... :hide:

Came up with a new theory tho ... sell them to @Achto for little to nothing... he has to stall them but most often I still get seat time!... :lol:

I'll look after the Case themed one for a while if you really need some room.

Have a 58 & 59 RJ along with a 60 Suburban. I really can't decide which model would be my favorite......

 

I pretty much like any "round hood" model.

“Justin” Case has a forever home, as far as I’m concerned :handgestures-thumbupright:

I have one snow plow for an RJ. It’s up the racking and I don’t believe I have the mounting bracket for it.
