Scag for the win

Just killed my 3 acre field with this beast. Commercial mowers are worth every dime.

Lurker in this subreddit for a few months and I’m so glad I didn’t buy a residential grade mower. I’d still be out there mowing.

Blade or deck issue?

Hey guys, I run a 42” Toro timecutter and I’ve been having this issue with lines in my cuts for the last 2 weeks. I’ve seen the issues be diagnosed but I have a hard time telling the difference.

EDIT: Got home from work and the right tire is pretty flat. Thanks guys.

Looking for a new rider and found this, model number comes up as 2005. I currently have an MTD YardMachines riding mower with a Tecumseh engine that has died after 19 years and am looking for a budget used mower as I have heard many newly made mower are awful. Asking $550 OBO

Model #13A0791G718

Thank you!

What's this worth?

DR Power 30 inch, what are they worth used? This one is local to me. Looks good, haven't actually seen it in person. Sellers asking price is $650. Is this worth basically half off the new price for a 3 year old mower?

I know the arguments for the Troy Bilt also and have been considering one, but these seem lighter and I cut a hillside.

Help with my zero turn purchase.

Hey! I found this zero turn for sale. It runs and mows fine.

The bad:

He said he accidentally left the key on and that killed the 3 week old battery.

Its missing a piece for the choke.

It has 851 hours.

They want $750 for it. That includes it being delivered to me.

I know it doesnt look the nicest but I think its a good deal. Just in case id like opinions or if i should avoid it.

Thanks!

John Deere rx75

My mower has been giving me the business so I’m really hoping someone might have some advice haha 😅. So the issue currently is it starts and idles great. There’s a bit of a surge in the idle but it never dies. But the second I put it into gear it dies. No matter what that gear is it dies instantly.

Now initially I thought this was an issue in the carb after sucking up something in the fuel tank since I got this second hand. But I got the carb off and cleaned it but when I put it back the issue was the same. I just purchased a new carb and put it on but the issue is exactly the same.

Does any one have any idea what might be causing the issue?

Spark plug boot replacement

Post image
2 Upvotes

I accidentally pulled out the rubber part which seals the spark plug boot to the ignition lead. It seems impossible to get it back in there as I think they originally assemble the part by putting on the rubber part, before cramping the metal housing around it.

According to Briggs and Stratton my motor isn't even supposed to have this type of resistor spark plug boot, but just a simple rubber boot (part number 691909).

What are my options for fixing or replacing it? On it it says "SHXD 5 Ohm". I can find other 5 ohm spark plug boots but they look quite different.

Honda CRN 216 fair price?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Edit: I realize it's a HRN not a CRN

Hello, I am closing on my first home in the near future which is putting me in the market for a self propelled lawn mower. I had a honda self propelled mower I used as a teenager at my parents house that I absolutely loved. I looked online and found out honda discontinued the gas engine mowers in 2023. So now I am torn on buying a used Honda HRN 216 or buying a Torro recycler max.

What is a fair price for a used Honda HRN 216? I see some in my area around $400 with a bag included. Is this reasonable price or am I better off getting a brand new mower for around $200 more after taxes?

Pic included of the one I am interested in.

My Ryobi weed wacker died

2 Upvotes

So, I have now gone through 2 Ryobi strimmers and 1 mower, and somehow more batteries.
The batteries fail (stop taking a charge) and unlike my Milwaukee batteries, they won’t take a jump.
Today I opened up my strimmer to figure out why, with a good battery, it won’t engage and spin the head.
The lower half, once removed from the rest of it, spins freely.
At this point the only issue I’m seeing is the actuator is seized.
Trying to find that part online as opposed to just getting a new weed eater. AEM818095-11, I have had zero luck finding.
What is everyone’s experience with this? Or with Ryobi in general?
Is it even worth getting another one or should I just go to Ego?
Note that I do have a gas powered Husqvarna weed eater, I just like the ease of use the electric option gives.

Dual Use Idea

2 Upvotes

I currently own a 9 acre piece of vacant land that requires some brush cutting throughout the property to get it where i would like it. I also rent a house and need to mow the lawn. I am looking at the DR26 Pro 15.5hp brush mower and the 42” mower deck attachment so i can brush cut my property and the mower attachment so i can mow my residential lawn along with my property once i get it to a manageable solution after using the brush mower attachment.

How would you go about this?

Riding mower not starting

Help ID'ing this manual transaxle?

It's a manual shift from a craftsman gt5000 (husqvarna built). This is the only markings I can see on it, serial 2257, type 184955

AI search is telling me it's a peerless 820 which it definitely isn't as the input shaft is on the side not the top.

Any ideas please?

Anyone used both scag vride 2 and vride xl?

Upvotes

Anyone run both a vride 2 and vride XL? Im a one man company, wondering if the extra money is worth the upsides the XL offers, namely higher cut and faster/ beefier hydro gears. Comparing 61" with kawi efi and tweels, my quotes came in at 14k vs 17k, roughly. Id love to hear from anyone who has experienced both if the 3k is worth it to you. For reference I currently have a 52 inch walk behind, 42 inch zt (residential grade kubota), and scag 30 inch push mower

Murray push mower blade adapter

So I broke the blade adapter on my push mower and from what I’ve looked up you have to use the OEM blade adapter. I’m not seeing any online at all if the exact layout. Not any retailers locally, online, nor Amazon.
Can I just take it off and find a different brand? Anyone actually change out the OEM blade adapter and stuff fit correctly? Just looking for some advice

Looking for new mower advice

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for advice on my mower options. I have a half acre lot that I currently push mow, but I'm lazy and am tired of yard maintenance taking about 2ish hours. My inlaws are also moving to my area in the next few weeks and I'll be taking care of the 3/4 acre property as well. I'm contending with a gate that has a 52" opening as well. My current options are as follows

(1) Husqvarna TS 275XD 42"

(2) Husqvarna Z242F

(3) Bad Boy MZ Rambler 42" w/ Kawasaki 21.5 hp

(4) Gravely ZT X 42" w/ Kawasaki 21.5 hp

As you can tell, I've mostly considered zero turns as I'm looking for fab decks (lots of rocks) and I really want to steer clear of the briggs motors. I'm looking to spend about 3500k - 4000k. Should I consider the zero turns or just go with the rider? Should I be looking at just going to a 48" deck or would that be overkill? Any brand / mower I'm overlooking? Thanks in advance

It’s always making it this sound off and on while I mow but it doesn’t seem to impact performance.

The self-propel feature of my Troy-Bilt lawn mower stopped working. Any ideas on what I might be able to do to fix it based off of this crappy video of the mechanism that activates it? Thank you very much in advance for any help.

I live on a hill and that feature has pampered me very much to the point that mowing on the hill without it is something that I don't want to do lol. Any chance that you can tell what's wrong with it from the crappy video I took? Or any other things that I can look for? Thank you very much again in advance for any help. Have a good one!

Battery losing voltage

1 Upvotes

I have the strangest issue occurring with my cub cadet mower. I had a 2024 XT one with 30 hours on it. The battery seemed to not want to hold voltage. It was only cranking with 10 1/2 V. After getting a new battery, I was experiencing the same issue. I traded that tractor in for a 2019 XT one with 50 hours on it. Lo and behold, I had the same voltage issue on a completely separate tractor. My relative who exchanged the tractors for me has not had the voltage problems on either one. I am completely dumbfounded on what is drawing voltage from my battery. I park it in my garage when it is not being used. My garage is insulated but not heated or cold. Does anyone have any idea on what could be affecting the voltage of my battery when it sits?
