What ride on mower?

[codlasher]

Good advice from Gardenkit.

With all the safety devices that are fitted there is a plethora of wires under your ride-on too. These will need the patience of a saint to unravel if you have problems. There is a logic to them but it takes some time to find the source of an electrical fault.

I discovered a clever little device under my machine to advise the operator that the rear grass holder was full. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep! It went, but continuously.... Wiring fault......I found it after careful investigation over three sessions mowing and fixed. Bl**dy irritating though! It now tells me at the correct time.

I started with a lawnflite £700, deck was shot, welded it all up (took 2 days), Sold it at the end of the season for £500

Bought a countax for £900, did 2 seasons (deck good, loads of spares online and cheap) rear axel oil seals shot, sold £660

Bought a 50" CUB Cadet with 100hrs on it for £1200, its the muts works well,

 

The only tip is buy in the winter, sell in the summer (even if you have to overlap). spend as much as you can for the biggest you can get (large domestic are often too big for the domestic market, and too small for the commercial) avoid ex commercial stuff the are usually ragged to shi*. Try and keep trading up before too much goes to wrong adding as much £ to it as you can, youll soon end up with your Kubota after a few years
