$7,000. About 3x the cost of a JD 100-series.



The JD 100 series is ok for light duty, but not for pulling hills or
doing anything requiring heavy pulling with the rear wheels. The
transaxel will wear out in about 300 hours. Did that. The mower would
pull fine on flat ground, but about 2 trips up the 100 foot long hill I
have and it quits moving. That mower is a POS that came out to compete
with the low end mowers.

Should have paid the $ 8000 for a good mower for my 1.5 acers I mow.
Thinking about it this summer.
