A few years ago I bought a brand new lightweight push mower with the Honda engine on it and I really like the engines power. Everything has been fine but it's always had a little bit of a fuel leak and it seems to be getting worse when I fill it up especially when doing the side Hills on the...

Our Small Town Golf Course wore out their old Toro mower they used for mowing the roughs. Like many small Town courses in Wisconsin it barely makes a profit. As crazy as it sounds to us ordinary folk they are looking at a Jacobsen wide-area mower with wings that mows 14 feet at a time and cost...

Am I the only idiot that can't find an oil funnel that really works good for filling small engines? Seems like something should have a soft plastic or rubber tapered tube that slides inside the filler tube and seals It Off from overflows? It would be even better if the funnel would sit there...

That little bugger looks pretty cool for $2999. Decent rubber, cool seat, 4 wh suspension, fab deck w/roller. Seems like a pretty good value!

Been plenty of raptor SD bashing lately thought I'd dig up this Old Post that kind of started it all....lol http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/showthread.php/34036-Raptor-SD-versus-metal-rod

I'm not really thinking so much to catch my grass clippings but about fall leaf cleanup... these things seem to have a pretty good reputation and look kind of cool.

54" deck....at least I think that's the culprit. I've sprayed it with synthetic lube and it goes away but of course it doesn't last. I suppose I could grease the Bolt but it's going to pick up a bunch of extra dirt eventually? Anyone else experience it.... it makes quite a racket.

I just sold my raptor SD that was equipped with Gator blades and I like them very much. Our Wisconsin grass can be pretty damp and thick and our falls have lots of leaves. I have read in past posts that the standard Fast Track blades do a pretty nice job and they stripe nicely. Going to pick...

I have a 3 Yr old kaw powered sd 54 w/110 hours. It's really more than I need for my three quarter acre lawn but I sure like it. It cuts really nice with Gator blades underneath it but the deck packs up a little bit. ... and I'm a big guy and pretty cramped on it. And I also have a couple of...

I bought a 2014 raptor sd54 used and saved a grand plus no sales tax. Just 73 hours on it but what a vibrating rattle trap. Took it in to my closest dealer and had em change the hydro oil and check the vibes. Apparently the pulley layout under the 2014 has been changed to a different design...

So...on my SD the adjuster bolt looks like regular thread 3/8 shank. A chart says that's 16 threads per inch. People are reporting gains in cut quality by running the back 1/4" low. So...I have my deck perfectly level now. To keep my current cut heights per letter setting I'm thinking I...

So I bought a 73 hour used unit thinking I might like it better than my 17 HP 42" jd lawn tractor on my whopping .6 acre lawn. Plus I have some friends close by that have some health issues...thought I could help a few out w/some lawn mowing for free cause I enjoy it. So on the positive I find...

Just picked up a used one w/75 hours on it. Is the air filter supposed to be foam wrapped or just a bare cartridge? What oil filters are you using...looks bigger than the one on my deeres 17 HP Kawasaki. Actually I'm thinking it could be the same as kohler and the Briggs vanguard run?

A nice looking 2014 raptor sd54 showed up on Craigslist about 80 miles away. Guy has 73 hours on it and flex forks. I can get it for $3250 so it saves a grand plus sales tax. Unit looks really clean and i can tell by the background of the pics the guy is fussy w/everything. But...he said it...

Trying to decide if i should buy one that's in stock at the local dealer or order a 2016 Ikon 52 w/Fab deck for next yr. I don't have a huge lawn and the zoom would hold up but the ikon looks alot heavier duty and roomier for not alot more money. I'm pretty fussy about the look of the...

Seems like Kawasaki can't keep up and the kohler is popping up everywhere. Anyone out there got some serious hours on one yet that can tell us how its going?

I'm narrowed down to these two to repace my JD 42" lt180. I like features on both the above machines. The Raptor has heavier hydros, huge tires, and the Kaw engine which I prefer. But,,,,the raptor seems to have a somewhat complaint oriented cutting reputation...or should I say discharge. A...
