Tomorrow, assuming everything goes as now planned, I intend to mow our large,almost 3 acre hilly and treed yard for the first time this year. When we first moved here in 2002, we purchased a John Deere lawn tractor to take care of all lawn duties. Never having owned such equipment before (the homes we lived in before had MUCH smaller real estate to mow and take care of) I'd always used a basic walk-behind power mower, that worked just fine. Not so here.
The John Deere model we purchased in 2002 was OK, but over the years I learned we'd purchased a somewhat under powered model, and the stress and strain on the machine, mowing along the steep slopes we have on our property, slowly took their toll on the equipment. So, we decided this year to "move up" and yesterday a new, more powerful John Deere lawn tractor was delivered (X520 model if you care about such data).
Tomorrow, it gets the first test doing its job for me. I'll keep you posted later on how it all works out.
