Toro Timecutter SS4235 (used)

So I'm tired of unreliable lawn services and have decided I'm going to mow my own lawn. I have a little under an acre of land and it's mostly open grass with two or three large trees. The neighbor has a similar property and makes pretty quick work of it with his zero turn, so I'm in the market for a used one.

I found this in a nearby town for $1250 and am thinking I'll offer $1000 for it if all checks out. He's not certain on the year of manufacture/purchase, but is looking for a receipt for me. I'd appreciate your thoughts/comments. Thanks!

It is a good looking machine. I know a lot of people like to see them all cleaned up but I like them the way this one is. It looks well taken care of. I would buy it as long as your test drive/mow turns out ok. Mow one direction tien turn around and mow back in a different line and then look at the mow job. If all ia well I woud buy it. Do not believe what any one says about maintiance. If you get it do a full service. Oil and filter. Lube everything that has a zerk. White lithum spray grease every pivit piont that moves. This will add life to the mower.

I agree with Blaz at 200 hours if it has been service regular and you can get it for 1000 would be a good buy.
