Congrats! the photos look fine. :O) I know how you feel, brand new ORANGE Simplicity.:smile:
You want to tell everyone about it, but no one "gets" it like a Proud Simplicity Owner, right ?
Last fall I took the plunge and bought a Champion ZTR 52" and love it. It's like this Champion Zero Turning Mower | ZTR Riding Mowers |Simplicity, but was a 2012 holdover, 52",27 HP.
Keep it waxed and shiney.

looks great....seeing this brand new one makes me want to forget about my old one!
Hi I bought this exact tractor a few months ago; 2013 model however. I love the deck, the suspension, the seat really everything! Does yours have the 25 horse engine? I think that was the only difference between the years I have the 27.
Yes, Mine has a 'Professional Series' 25 HP Briggs...Not sure what the Professional series stands for...On a different note...I have had a JD X520 in the past...The Fabricated deck on my simplicity is hands down a better design...It does not collect nearly the same amount of yard debris...Grass does not build up on the top or underneath the deck...This alone saves a lot of time on maintenance...The suspension is a very nice feature...The verdict is still out on the seat...Not sure how it will hold up over time...However JD is known for its seats cracking/splitting.
This is a great mower nice pics! I test drove one of these when I was mower shopping and was very close at pulling the trigger but ended up going the zero turn path (no pun intended). Still though for riding lawn tractors Simplicity is simply hard to beat.
I had a JD Z445 as well...Did not like having to work so hard while riding on a mower...Though 0 turns are much faster I simply enjoy the ride of a standard Lawn/Garden Tractor...I wonder if I bought a little better quality 0 turn if i would have been happier? Oh well...whats done is done! Again my only complaint remains...wait for it...POWER STEERING!!!
Yep...on an earlier post I had some issues with a wiring harness getting wet...the mower would not start...I had to blow it out with an air compressor. Everything is good now though!
Im not certain...I do not use my mower for blowing snow...Yet! I currently use my ATV with plow...But after last winter im not sure if i can get along to much longer with out a blower...I contacted my dealer to see if there are any fixes and/or suggestions...Im going there on monday...Ill keep you informed as to what they say

Doesn't affect me any more. If I got my Prestige damp it would go dead....just like a dead battery. Leave it overnight to dry off, started right up, and gave me it's usual puff of smoke to let me know it was awake. I know what I'd do after the dealer tells you there's no fix for it.....if that's what he tells you.
If this tractor were mine I'd take apart EVERY electrical connection and literally glob dielectric grease on the contact points and where the contact points go into the plastic connector. After you put them back together I might even coat the connection with a thin layer of silicone sealant. You'll still be able to get it apart if needed.
Until B&S finds out that's causing this issue I'd be very careful about getting water near the engine bay and controls area. Like I said in an earlier post, what if the tractor owner was going to blow snow with the tractor? You want to take a chance? Go ahead.....I can't.
Believe me...I am going to take every precaution when it comes to maintenance of this mower...Grease on the electrical connections sounds like a good idea...Still going to go to the dealer Monday and at least open up a claim so if it persist to be a problem in the future hopefully the warranty will cover it.
