I have been mowing with a JohnDeere 332 Diesel since 1988. It has 1050 hours on it. I will not live long enough to wear it out. But my back would really like a stand on mower. My yard is rough from many ambitious moles. I don't have back trouble till I mow over an hour. However, I can't bring myself to spend thousands of $ when I have a perfectly good mower. I would rather spend my money on guns, chainsaws or woodwoking tools, not necessary in that order.

I reduced my cutting time 40% when I got my exmark lazer z.

Beautiful Brad! Me and you seem to have similar OCD when it comes to our yard.
Do you have a striper on that deck? Did you make your own? Or is that just how it mows?
I made one for my Dixie Chopper. Dixie's own design is a bunch chains (kinda like a drag system). It's over $400!! So I just took a 6 ft piece of rubber mat and zip screwed it to the back of the deckA cheap, easy, and effective striper.
that's what I did to my hydro walk behind.

Meant to say Striper
You sure about that?
I'd just go with it, man!All these pictures of manicured lawns are almost making me jealous that my wifey does all the yard work.
Maybe I should have capitalized ALMOST. Since she got Her tractor I haven't cut the grass.

You can get pretty good stripes by adjusting the deck so it's slightly higher in the front. And sharp blades of course.
Funny you mention adjusting the deck pitch because I was just recently have an argument with this hack job kid who tries to landscaping about that but he said it doesn't make any difference in the cut. I just shook my head and showed him my lawn versus his haha by the way how do you like that Lazer Z?

It's been good to me, simple no frills mowing machine built to last.
A lot in common...I love my Lazer Z. I'm going to have to try and raise the front. What do you do bring up the chains in the front?

They actually come set with a very slight front tilt. Having the deck higher in the rear allows the blades to pull in more air which helps discharge the clippings farther.
You can play with the rear tire pressures to adjust the tilt as well.
I just mowed mine yesterday...I'll try it next week. Very happy with mine. Knock on wood the only thing I have had to replace was the mule belt.
Who is going to start the thread..."Show us your mowers?"
