This will be my 3rd year plowing my driveway with this 2007 John Deere Lawn Tractor. Years before it was $300 to have someone else do the plowing.
And a BIG bonus, that I don't have a $ amount for is the mowing, and the hauling of the dump cart and the log splitter.
I bought this used, a well taken care of machine, with some issues. Other then regular maintenance and finding some small gremlins, it is now running better then ever.
I checked the valve clearance a month ago (as per the 200 hour scheduled maintenance guide) and it was dead center in spec. The oil with 40 hours of runtime was very clean. Hell, this could last 10 years or more.
