My JD 318 at 1200 hours is worn out mowing our 4 acre yard. Have a serious affinity for diesels and like the Scag TT. Looking at a 2015 Scag TT Kubota 750 hours $9500 or 2019 Scag TT 2 Kubota with 220 hours $13K. I have not shopped for a new mower ever have always bought used for $1,800 or less. I am starting to get used to $10k price, but am curious if I am looking at too much mower. I anticipate mowing my parents yard in the future which is another 3 acres. I like quality and long lasting purchases which is why I would not consider buying at a box store. We currently have 6 diesels in our household and I am comfortable maintaining them and prefer them over gas in every application possible. What do the professionals on this forum think?
