I have this guy at the shop where I work who is selling his GH. It's a 1997 721D with a 72" deck. I know NOTHING about GH mowers other than what little I've read so far here. I am unsure of the hours, but figuring his quote of 90min mow time twice a week 6mos a year then that gives me approximately 1450+/- hours on it. He says it's in excellent shape and he's asking $3200 for it. Does that sound like a fair deal?? He will be getting the exact hours off the mower tonight as well as taking a few pics of it to show me tomorrow. If it looks OK then I'll try and see it in person and maybe do a test mow.
I would appreciate any feedback you GH owners have. All aspects, good & bad are welcomed. What are they good at? What sucks about them? Any service headaches or odd mechanical behavior faults I should know about? I want to make as much of an informed decision as I possibly can. My main reason for buying it is that it has the front deck and is 16 inches wider than the 54" on my JD GT235. Also the GH front mowers are supposed to be capable of running other attachments? I'm interested in either a plow blade or a snothrower (or both). Do the GH mowers really work as well as they say and does GH still make attachment stuff to fit a mower that's 14 years old?? How long was this model in production? Sorry for so many questions... please help a noob out here! LOL
Thanks!!!
