John Deere F620 Good and Bad

I am looking a buying a 1998 John Deere F620 What are the good thing and the bad things about this mower.

Those mowers will scalp the shat out of a unlevel yard if the deck hits right, those are a weird feeling and operating mower and I am glad they are not offered today.
What are your intentions with this hybrid zero turn?

I have no intention on this now. I was afraid this was the problem with it. I could not see how it would not scalp with the deck setup. They have it priced at $1000.00. I thought it might be an ok second (backup) mower but I'm not going to mess up lawns.

If you are mowing a nice level yard then you are fine with that unit for a back-up.
The one you are looking it, does it have one or two wheels on the back?

2 wheels. side by side.

2 wheels. side by side.

Got ya that is the newer model and more stable on the back end, I remember the first one I saw and drove it had 1 wheel center on the rear end of it.
