Very interesting thread. I recently went to a local dealer to look at the Cub ZT's and the sales rep quickly steered me over to the Simplicity ZT's that were in the next isle over. He seemed to have more faith in the Simplicity brand. I asked him about the Husqvarna models sitting in the 3rd...

Over the last few years, I have used a couple of the different spray's available from the box stores, but they didn't last very long. They did make cleaning the deck easier for a couple of cleanings until they wore off. This summer I purchase this EZ-Slid product and applied 3- coats with a...

Just a after thought....you can lower that rear deck roller and perhaps avoid the deck tilting so much while turning. I have the Courier XT model and love the cut.....of coarse it's not the same configuration as yours.

I just went thru this process and there is no clear winner. They ALL have their benefits and disappointments. Budget determines a lot. I would stay away from the entry level models. I have 1.3 acres with some hills. I looked hard at Ferris, ExMark, John Deere, Toro, Scag and Kubota. Most of...

$ 135 for a belt .....seriously? I'd look for a back up belt from V-Belt Supply or V Belts 4Less and see if they can find a substitute that will fit. Ouch!. I burned a belt on a John Deere a few years ago and it was $55 from JD but only $18.00 from V-Belt Supply

If you smelled something burning, you knew something must be wrong.....that's the time to get down there and inspect for wear. You probably should have taken the belt off the PTO and spun the blades and pulleys to see if there was a drag or resistance. And to inspect where the rub was...

About a month ago I stopped at my local Simplicity dealer to see about a new mower and what he would recommend for my property. We narrowed it down to a Conquest or a Courier XT but he said not to get the mulch kits. According to the sales rep.....as well as a Simplicity cuts and stripes....it...

Jumping in here because I just purchased a Simplicity Courier XT ( a beefier version of the Courier line for residential). When I made my final choice and had to drive almost 2-hours to a dealer that had the last one that close to me as my local guys are picked over and not restocking until...

Ok it's been awhile with your new Broadmoor w/48" deck and Mulch kit. Are you happy with the mulch kit? Do you get a great cut? Dose your deck get clogged often and need to be scraped?

Have you found out what that smoke was caused by? Is the issue a motor warranty problem? Is it fixed?

Just wanted to share my first mowing with my new 2021 Simplicity Courier XT in case there are any shoppers our on the fence. First I brought the unit home and spent some time getting familiar with the unit and verifying the grease and lube points. Then I spent a hour leveling the deck ( dealer...

Brake peddle switch suspect????????? PTO switch is OFF?????? Battery suspect??????

There are a few options ( Brands) that will work. I have a MoJack Hydraulic lift that works nicely. Only complaint is it takes a lot of pumping to get to the higher lifting point. I have seen similar jacks that have a screw drive instead of a hydraulic jack. You can use a electric drill to...

thank you for your reply.

How is the lawn striping on the Liberty Z? Can you pull a 40" lawn aerator ( plugger)? If I purchased a Scag Liberty Z I would have to figure out something differently to toss fertilizer ( currently use a Agra-Fab pull spreader behind my tractor). I want to sell my tractor and just have...

Do you still love your SCAG Liberty? What don't you like about it? I am getting ready to pull the trigger.

Could you begin your mowing with the bags empty and do the berm first? Could also add some additional weights to the front when you do the berm then remove them for the remaining lawn? I have seen some ZT's with an add-on front bar and suitcase weights that can easily be removed. You might...

Can you retry to engage the blades with the deck at a higher setting and again at a low setting to see if it makes any difference? Wondering if the lift support is attached to the deck improperly. Had a Simplicity Courier zero turn ( very similar model) you might search under that model and see...

Did you put tubes in them? They look a lot like the HDAP Carlisile tires that John Deere uses on their X590

I had a similar ( short cutting) issue so I bought a 4" pipe ( 3/4" x 4" pipe nipple at Home Depot), then set my HOC to 4" on the tractor. Then I used the pipe nipple to measure at the blade tips and adjusted the leveling screws with the JD T-wrench. This way I get the blades level and set at...

Suicide by design is not the intent of any manufacturer. Who would ever intend to build a product that is inferior or designed to fail, just so the consumer has to repurchase more quickly? How likely are you to purchase again, a expensive piece of equipment that had a shorter life than you...

well stated my friend........I too like a bargain........but all too often a bargain becomes a disappointment. The way we built this country was to continue to make things better. Quality has been sacrificed to meet a lower cost from a public that has bought into a false economy. Build it here...

I just took off the mulching baffles on my X590 with the MOD kit. I discovered ( second season) that cutting my 1.5 acre KG lawn in the spring, I get a lot of under deck clogging and am forced to scrape the deck after each mowing. By removing the baffles, I get less build up and a better looking...

JD X354 with All Wheel Steer. 42" deck and great maneuverability for those flower beds and trees.

I have a 1-year old JD 48A deck with the MOD (Mulch on Demand kit) and JD mulch blades. Last spring and this spring both, the deck would clog with either the JD mulch blades or the Gator G-5 blades. I actually think the G-5's are worse because of the larger wings. They tend to beat the...

If you go ahead with a X300 model, consider taking a look at replacing the mower blades with Gator G5 blades. I found out thru trial that the G5 blades give the deck more lift to pull up the grass blades for trimming by the G5 blades and result in a more even cut. Plus they are mulching blades...

Ii have a similar problem with my X590 48" deck. It seems that the deck is tilting. Rechecked tire pressure and deck level. New sharp blades. Frustrating

using the tool ..........give each side (1) full turn to lower the deck ( do both sides the same ) and recheck the lock. May need to do an additional turn to lower each side. Set you HOC to a higher number to mow.

Maybe it would help for you to give additional information on your property. How big? More info on the hills? Do you need differential lock? Is traction the issue? Possibly a lightly used X500 series could be a answer.
