Even when you're mulching you're still throwing grass to the right side of the mower. Mowing counter-clockwise means you're "throwing" towards the...

I balance my new blades - I've had some that were pretty far out of balance. A blade could have gotten bent uncrating the machine or hopping a curb...

I see. Still doesn't sound like a fatal flaw. It makes it easier to transition to sitting on the fender for those really steep slopes. :laughing:

With all due respect, I doubt that they're going to do anything about their seat being slippery...

Filters don't really get tightened...not even fully hand tight.

Yeah, that should smooth out the ride considerably.

Have you checked your tire pressures? They may still be at shipping pressure rather than the recommended operating pressure.

I find that I can keep most grass out of places I don't want it by running 2 to 3 laps around perimeters going clockwise. Of course, there are...

I run Gator mulching blades on my mowers most of the time, especially in the fall. I discharge with them. My favorites are the G5 blades which have...

For 5 acres, personally I'd go for the 54 inch. Yes the engine should handle it fine.

Do you balance your blades and if so how?

Wrong! My oil threads start out better and they last longer too!!! :laughing:

Doesn't Ariens already do this with their SHO line?

Never even seen one of those. Seems like an oddball mower and my primary concern would be replacement parts availability, being both old(er) and...

Stems117: Yes, it indeed has been debated here before, and every other power equipment site on the planet I suspect. Nobody here is going to fault...

Here we go again...

Lol, I have a PB-8010 as well and you do have to be careful not to "excavate" with it. Taking the end tube off helps a bit. I've got 142 hours on...

Yeah same situation here in Connecticut. It was a similar situation in the fall so 2 of my accounts have back lawn areas that I couldn't do fall...

Tuff-Torq K51a transmission

Looks similar in operation to the Jungle Jack which I'm familiar with but with 2 arms instead of one. There is a little bit of technique involved...

Hard to say without seeing it but if the pile is acting as a dam then it's contributing to the issue. I don't see how removing it would cause a...

How different is the ZT HD from the ZT X? There's a YT video for the ZT X oil change. It does look like a bit of a pain but not horrendous. ...

Yeah it's a bolt, usually with a hole in it as ILENGINE said, not a nut. Usually you can just side a Phillips head screw driver through to loosen. ...

Don't know your hydro system whether it's individual pumps and wheel motors or integrated transaxles, but if pump wheel motor usually a large bolt...

I see that you're not alone. ...

Can't just repair the Mojack? Something wrong with the safety lock mechanism?

Just to point out that the new Quest is a much better machine than the older models. I love my Exmark machines but I found their older Quests to...

I assumed they were 5 foot NOW.
