I actually enjoy mowing.

I like to get on the mower, throw on some headphones with a podcast and tune out for a couple of hours.

I'd mow my own yard even if I were an OT baller.

I have a gravely zt42 zero turn that I bought 3 years ago for $2700 and I literally beat the shite out of it. It hasn't given me a bit of trouble. What specific mower did you buy?

I have the basic model John Deer from Lowes (D100 I think) and it's still kicking after 4 years no problem. I change the oil and filters every year.

Wrong. Mexicans don't break down easily, and aren't expensive.

What brand are you calling quality?




I've been on the OT for 12 years.

I could have a lawnmower designed personally by Elon Musk's best engineering team in cooperation with Bugatti engineers and the assholes here are gonna pounce on that.

I'm talking in general.

There is almost zero innovation and quality put into consumer lawn and garden equipment.

Was a sincere question. There are many brands today. I have an Exmark and love it but there are many other "quality" brands out there.

If you make a post about how crappy your lawn mowers have been then you can expect people will want to know what lawn mowers are crappy.

I have actually had similar experience with lawnmowers. that shite is all stamped and bent into shape in 3rd world countries. if you hit an anthill in the yard, something bends and the whole shite gets out of kilter.
