    YTH24V54 vs TS354XD for my wife

    Thanks for the details. The specs claim yth is fabricated which I thought would mean not stamped but haven't seen one in person. She's going to the deere dealer to test drive the x380 and x390.

    YTH24V54 vs TS354XD for my wife

    That's disappointing. Toro only seems to sell zero turns which she doesn't like. Talking to JD dealer about x380, it's about $1500 higher than the ts354

    YTH24V54 vs TS354XD for my wife

    My wife is looking at these 2 models at Lowe's. Obviously, to TS is a better built unit but is it $2k better? Given past experience with big box mowers I'd expect 5 to 10 year life from the YTH. Is that realistic with either of these? Better options in this price range? She wants new vs used...

    Transmission issues

    My gear drive unit won't move most of the time unless I put it in the highest gear. Does this sound like a belt issue or transaxle? What should I check? it is very hard to access anything on this machine I haven't really looked at much.
