Tell me how SLE Equipment works. Obviously an authorized dealer.

What about service? Just bring it into an authorized repair shop?

How does shipping work on something like this?

Are these warranties for residential homwowner use? If so, you'd better check to see if there are warranties for commercial use. Most manufacturers of machinery intended for home use only will not offer warranties for commercial use.

I paid like 200 shipping. No tax


They don’t ship all of their mowers and mower packages though. Some of the bigger ones are pickup only

It showed up freight on a pallet and I had to put the seat and handles on

I’ve had mine serviced at Port Vincent Farm & Supply. I would give them a chance to get close to the online prices though. A friend told me they were competitive. They didn’t seem to mind servicing mine even though I didn’t buy it there.


ETA: also check out safford equipment on Facebook. They sell lots of Husky packages and you can see how they price them, but they are in Alabama.

You need to rethink your selections.

Grasshopper and Walker are a cut above

I’m just saying. Why would you wanna finish doing the yard sooner? It’s the best thing you can do and be home, so they don’t bitch, but not be bothered.


I got this last month. This thing will change your life.

I mainly got it cuz I was sweating my tail off taking an hour and a half to push it. I still take my time cutting it and even will run over my neighbors yard sometime. It’s just nice to barely break a sweat

ETA... is that the battery operated mower?

Yep, a must.

High back seat? Better support I assume?

If your yard's not that big, why don't you consider a riding mower? You could spend a third of your budget.

Most of the residential mowers aren’t gonna be that great of a ride over rough terrain which I don’t have to deal with.

You really have to up the price range to get those features like air ride, etc.

My seat is plenty nice enough.

I can cut three times on a charge. My lot is almost an acre. About a half an acre of actual grass.


It’s so quiet. Not having to sweat or hear some loud arse obnoxious zero turn is worth it. Not knocking zero turns, this just changes everything.
