Been looking for a new ZT. My local dealer says he has a new old stock Grasshopper 226 in a 52" cut. He mentioned it was little over 3 years old.
I haven't laid eye on it yet, but I imagine it's been outside, but unsure. He said he's willing to lose $ on it. They also have another 226 with a 60 ish inch deck.
He will let it go for $6k. That's well below it's new price. The original warranty will take effect once it's sold. My question is...would it be wise to buy it. If I did, I'd definitely change all the fluid. I imagine it's been started and moved around more than once.
I'd like to have it. Not sure an age related issue would surface and cost me a fortune. I mow a flat 2 acre yard. I appreciate any input.
