I was thinking $250 was a little low for a cord. But then I don't know your area. $500 would be great (if I was the seller).Adds here on CL for Red Fir…$500/cord
that is insane…
for that price they should deliver, stack and carry bundles inside for you…every day. Geeze…
I've said this before, but I was under the impression that riding mowers with transaxle drives and zero turns should not pull anything. Supposedly hurts the transmission. I've got two old Craftsman geared transmissions that were my work horses. I could pull my 5x8 trailer half full of splits around my yard. Have some issues that have to be repaired on them that I've never gotten around to fixing.My rider mower wears chains all winter moving a 2.5x4' trailer full of rounds over to the split/pile area, some fairly good slopes to work up/down.
@gggGary, I don't understand your response of 'Wow'. Is $250/cord a good price and my expectations high? To be clear, I'm not offended by your response; I'm just trying to educate myself on a fair price.I was thinking $250 was a little low for a cord.

This post is going to have me take the ball off my zero turn tonight!!I've said this before, but I was under the impression that riding mowers with transaxle drives and zero turns should not pull anything.

That's just what I heard. I wasn't trying to sway anyone. I don't know for sure. I can't afford repairs on a zero turn much less a new one.This post is going to have me take the ball off my zero turn tonight!!
That thing is great for backing up the trailer, can literally put it anywhere!!
But no more!!
Depends on which mower/hydro, they aren't all created the same, there are several different grades/strengths of hydros.That's just what I heard. I wasn't trying to sway anyone. I don't know for sure. I can't afford repairs on a zero turn much less a new one.
Good to know; mine has lug nuts and a transmission oil filter.Depends on which mower/hydro, they aren't all created the same, there are several different grades/strengths of hydros.
To start with, how are the wheels bolted on? One center nut and it's a weaker variety of hydro. If it has lug nuts like a car, then it's a better/stronger hydro and can take some abuse.
Another thing to look for, does the hydro have a filter and an oil change schedule? Some of the light duty models, don't even have a drain plug to change the oil let alone a filter!

My friends have three mangalista pigs that were supposed to be food that turned into pets. They are just about running them broke with food prices lol. The older two are over 300 pounds now and the other one is about 120.Food…..
I have a fleet of other “toys”, I’ll just skip the risk. If I remove the ball, I won’t come home to my daughter towing stuff around with it. She thinks that mower is like her little tank sometimes….Depends on which mower/hydro, they aren't all created the same, there are several different grades/strengths of hydros.

Buck season over? Back to bucking season?Morning scrounge. Had 2 dead cherry trees right across from the shop but to risky for me to cut with the road. MA nature took them down Tuesday with the wind. I stopped traffic and pushed them up on the bank so I could pull them out.

Maybe I should remove the ball off this to remove the risk,I have a fleet of other “toys”, I’ll just skip the risk. If I remove the ball, I won’t come home to my daughter towing stuff around with it. She thinks that mower is like her little tank sometimes….
GrasshopperOn towing with my zero turn. Yeah mine is pretty HD, dual pumps, large reservoir, dual filters, 4 bolt wheels 27HP Kohler. It's Woods branded but was made by someone else can't remember who right now.
Nah, I think you'll be OK with that. I was just speaking out of ignorance.Maybe I should remove the ball off this to remove the risk,
cuz it also has a hydro...

true: but it is relevant! qualtiy aside, steel is steel. well, temper and rockwell, tooGrade 8 is very stout in tension, not so much in shear. My old home built that would not shear through a knot broke 2 of them. I can't recall where I used them as it was some 40 years ago.
