If you have bought a riding mower, how did you get it home? Did the store you buy it from deliver or did you take a truck or trailer to haul it on?

The first one I bought in the 1980s I brought home in a 1965 Ford pickup. If I were from Texas I would have said I carried it home.:biggrin:
My second was a surprise gift purchased at a John Deere dealer 60 miles away. They delivered it. It was too large to get through some gates so they came and picked it up and delivered another from one of their stores 60 miles the opposite direction for a total of 360 miles traveled. If you ever need a JD check with P&K Equipment.
Something else to consider is whether you are handy enough to do ones own repairs. If not you'll at some point need to transport it back to a dealer or repair shop. Even mechanical people get whupped sometimes and take them back with their tail between their legs.
