Hi folks, my name is Rich and I am just joining. I have a 27 year old snapper rer 11hp 33 deck which still runs and on duty. Getting a little rough so I just bought a new JD X310 to handle the year round tasks on my half acre property.

I hope your not thinking that this JD will last the 27 years your snapper has. May I ask why you did not just get a new snapper
The snapper is good at leaf mulching, and yes i considered another one. This one still works so i will keep it for that. After 30 years of the estate in the same family, i have a need for a bigger lawn tractor to move stone, and landscape, towing. These are things the snapper is too small to do. I don't expect the JD to last the same, however it is a sweet machine. The price i got it for was very close to a new snapper anyway.
Why do you think the JD can't last 27 years? We have an 18 year old LX178, a minor hydro leak being the only problem, still feels and looks close to new, of course we take care of it.
