You might not have to go completely vertical with your zero turn. The hoist would certainly lift it higher than a floor jack or mower jack.

Have you looked on xtremeope.com? They will run you around $200. https://xtremeope.com/page/contact-us/

Do you have a place to mount a chain hoist? Walker’s have flip up decks.

Blades: Rotary #12380 If your deck is properly leveled, you don’t need a striping kit.

I would imagine that the mower hit something pretty hard at some point. I would be looking at the left spindle and it’s mounting surface on the deck. Check all of them. But, the left side is where I would start looking.

Do the blades touch each other? Does the left blade touch the middle blade? Does the right blade touch the middle blade? If both outside blades touch the middle blade, the blades are too long. If one side touches the middle blade, the deck may be bent. The blades are supposed to be 20.5” long...

Do you have access to Rhino Ramps or equivalent? If so, you can use them up front. Drive up the ramps and spin them and the front casters 180 degrees. Now, jack up the rear and place jack stands. Now, remove the rear wheels.

Check the switch on the parking brake. Exmark and Toro use the cheapest switches that you can imagine on their residential mowers.

What’s wrong with the current engine?

247 prefix is made by MTD.

In tall or wet grass, you will get better results with high lift blades and side discharge.

If both bearings are sealed, a grease fitting and adding grease isn’t going to have any benefit.

Almost anything. If you want to watch live programming that is found on cable or satellite, you are going to pay.

I was paying $150 a month. The $28 charge for Philo gets me all of the channels that I usually watched on Dish. I DO NOT watch news, sports, or weather. That was one of the big turn offs with Dish. They would bundle news channels and all of the ESPN channels and didn’t offer anything without...

I hope that you will be happy with Starlink. We used to have DSL and Dish Network. The DSL was slow and buffering was a problem. Fiber was recently available and we jumped on it. We then added Roku devices and put up a 8 bay antenna and dropped Dish. It is so nice having that extra money that we...

The current listing of lawn tractors/garden tractors only have options for the Yanmar Diesel in the X700 Signature Series of mowers. Anything above the X700 series are considered subcompact and compact tractors and are usually 40 HP and below. The original poster was talking about lawn tractors/...

The X700 series is the only series that offers Diesel engines in their lawn and garden tractors. Their subcompact tractors and up are Diesel.

Consult the sell sheets.

Same difference.

Read the label of the particular dye marking agent. The Roundup label states that a dye or marking agent “can” reduce the effectiveness. That doesn’t mean it “will” reduce the effectiveness. I would go ahead with the application and monitor the effectiveness. Give it 7 days to work. If you don’t...

2 liters or 2.11 quarts. In other words, 2 quarts plus 3.5 ounces. Then, check your dipstick.

Take them out, grease them again, and move them to the uppermost mounting holes. Warranty? You can try. I doubt that it will be covered. It’s a wear item. I owned two Toro mowers and this was always a problem.

John Deere is getting slammed in the compact and subcompact tractor market. People can get similarly equipped Kubota, Mahindra, Kioti, LS, New Holland, Massey Ferguson, Yanmar, and TYC tractors at a lower price point. That green paint is expensive.

Stihl is a Ferris with a different paint scheme. As most of you know, Ferris is under the Briggs and Stratton umbrella. Parts availability is sketchy with Briggs and Stratton.

The most important thing is to read the mower’s operation manual. A PTO clutch operation is different than the old manual blade engagement of the older lawn tractors.

I owned two Toro mowers with the same engine. That particular engine has a two barrel carburetor and has a paper air filter and foam pre-filter. It’s very important to keep that foam pre-filter clean. I would blow out the foam pre-filter after every mowing. Both should be changed yearly or at...

Yes, the Yanmar engine is very good. However, I don’t think that the OP is looking for a compact tractor or commercial zero turn. I also agree that a 48” lawn tractor or zero turn would be better for two acres. That puts him on a John Deere with a Kawasaki V-Twin.

My sister inherited my dad’s John Deere D100 with a 17.5 B&S engine. It’s at least 20 years old and still running. The deck has been replaced once. If maintained properly, it should give good service. Better grade? They are residential engines.

I believe that Briggs and Stratton makes the single cylinder engines for the 100 Series. Kawasaki makes the V-Twins.

You aren’t getting a Yanmar Diesel engine in a residential riding mower.

Yep, a tree stump can mess up a mower big time.

There’s a good chance that you have more damage than that.

There’s your problem. I don’t know if that would be covered under warranty. Besides, you should have contacted your Bad Boy dealer about the warranty.

Why do you engage the blades at “low speed”? It sounds as if the belt is glazed. Check all of your pulleys, idlers, and spindles. The belt may be on the wrong side of a keeper.

A lot has to do with the brand of mower, the design of the deck, the blades installed, and how the deck is set up. You can get good stripes without using rollers or flaps attached to the rear of your mower. The trial and error method works well.

Just a reminder. The WIX/NAPA Gold oil filters will not work. Their base plates make contact with the oil filter mounting flange before the gasket can fully compress. This leads to an oil leak and possible engine damage. The Predator (Loncin) engine manual states use only the STP or FRAM filters...

What are you trying to cut? Brush? Unimproved land? From my experience, the cutting height settings rarely match actual cutting height. It doesn’t matter where the mower was purchased. Residential mowers will have anywhere from two to four adjustment points. Two adjustment points are common on...

You need to calculate your slope angle. In general, a lawn tractor is going to be better on slopes. The Kawasaki FR651V powers the X350. The engine manual states that it is designed for continuous operation at 25 degrees. The John Deere X350 owners manual says 15 degrees is maximum for safety.

I run 40:1 in all of my stuff too. I don’t see any reason to keep two mixes on hand.

That’s all fine and well for a residential owner. A commercial owner doesn’t have time to clean the deck after each customer.

👍

Read your owners manual. Transport position is for moving the unit while not under power. Do not operate the mower with the hydros in transport position. I would suggest polishing your mowing technique.

Just to add to my earlier post. My mower is Gravely Pro Turn 260. It has the X-Factor 2 deck and is powered by a Kohler ZT740. Yesterday, I mowed my three acres. When I started, there was still dew on the ground. The dew was gone before I finished. There were no clumps left on the lawn. There...

Were you having this problem before installing the new steering shocks? New steering shocks can be a little stiff and sometimes you don’t realize that you are giving a little more input. This can cause you to push a little harder. Then you over correct with the other lever. Sort of a zig zag effect.

I was referring to the older models. Look at @GearHead36 reply above mine. It reads as though he has the older model PAS.

I guess that it’s possible. However, it’s unlikely. Is your machine under warranty? If so, have it seen about.

With Echo, their Red Armor grease tubes will screw into the fill port of your machine. Also, you can take the plug down to NAPA and match the threads to a grease fitting. On the string trimmer head, you may have to remove the debris shield to fit the tube.
