Hours of longevity

[jekjr]

What is the most hours any of you have heard of a mower running? I had a friend last week tell me about a Scag he saw that had 9000 hours on it and was still running.

He did not know what had been replaced or rebuilt on it.

I am amazed at the experiences people report. Some say it's all over at 700 hours even with TLC. Others surprise us. A gentleman has just advised us he bought a used Kohler with 1200 hours and is operating in a blue haze and reduced power. I do know if you leave your ignition on the electric hour meter will keep running, inflating your usage.:smile:

Some say it's all over at 700 hours even with TLC? I sure hope not cause my CC 48" ZTR with a 22 hp Kohler Courage is over that and still running strong. My Toro Grandstand with a Kawasaki 15hp has a 5 year 1200 hour warranty.

I have a Kubota ZG222 that is not old at all that has 150 hours on it. It would have 300 on it probably if we had to bought the ZD 326 and just started running the 222 as a backup and on lawns big enough to need two or small with narrow gates.......

I plan on running both of mine at least 5 years commercially if not longer.

The 2000 JD 335 I picked up about three weeks ago has 1,45x hours on it and it still runs like new. The previous owner tells me the engine and transaxle has never been rebuilt or replaced and the deck is also original.
