RED-Z06 2,221 #1 Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) I had a customer ask me what a new mower ran and i looked it up... Talking 2400 for a 19hp 42" troy bilt, 2700 for the entry level 42" deere, 2200 for a base xt1 cub cadet, 2300 for a base 15.5hp troy bilt. $1870 for a 10hp 30" tb30 rear engine rider... This is insanity...absolute insanity Edited July 31, 2022 by RED-Z06 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's just say... the shop is full... but I keep making room by coming up with better parking ideas... I have looked at new mowers... both at Home Depot and at Lowes. Needless to say... I won't be buying any of them... Don 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
