Well last night the GT235 left for its new home.
Many a bad snowstorm we battled thru together
it never complained and was always ready. I will miss it but the time has come for an upgrade and very soon the new toy will arrive. It will be red but not a Cub or IH .

I thought it was being replaced by that Case 621E! 😳 You would need a larger shed.
Weren’t Ranch Kings red… 🤔

 

[Kster526]

Nooooo not even warm…😀

Horse or Massey?

 

[Kster526]

Neither I wish ,it will be a zero turn brand new from Kyle 2
Thought about thinning herd and getting some new blood in it
but that’s another story for another time
With cutting my lawn and two older neighbors it’s time to upgrade
looking forward to it. If it lasts me as long as the GT235 did I should not have to buy another other than herd members
The 314 needs an engine over haul the noise in there is getting concerning
It will then be snow removal or back up. Thought about building a cab for it too.

Amongst the other guesses about something red I thought maybe you'd unearthed a JD 110 prototype. Boy, that would be a find. You'll have to post us some photos of the zero turn when you get it. I see you've been getting some seat time blowing snow. How have the blower modifications worked out for you? You put a lot of good thought and great work into it.

Visited the new toy yesterday and should be enjoying it next week. Since I have to work this weekend had to push it off another week.
Rode it around a little .So smooth and easy to operate. Will definitely make mowing time better.
Many thanks to Kyle 2 and the shop for setting it up and getting it ready. Yes I know where are the pics. Next week when it arrives home. Very tempted to drive it home.

Red , ferris or exmark would be my guess as to what the new one is. I've been eying the gravely zero turns but can't justify the price an I think the 345 will be plenty for the lawns I mow.

 

[Kster526]

No it will be a Big Dog by Excel who also makes Hustler units. Made in a far away land called U.S.A. !!!!!!
54 inch welded deck. A little bigger then I need for my yard alone but for doing all three it'll be great. Trying to pick up the other neighbors yard also to put some $$$ back into the emptied out account.
New ones have Briggs Engines as the Kawasaki are impossible to get.
Ordering a grass catcher other than that this is what I am getting

You are gonna LOVE that zero turn! I couldn’t believe how much time I “trimmed” off of my mowing time when I went from the 400 to the zero.
But beware they can be hard on the lawn if your not careful.

 

[Kster526]

Yup I am aware thank you. We had a JD 757 at school actually bought a second.
It used to take us all week with a JD 4200 compact and a 72 inch deck to do our sports fields.
With the zero and 60 inch deck we did the whole district in 2 days. No doubt about the effort and time they save. The deck was never put back on the compact. Nice thing about the compact was the cab to keep sun off of you though.
Will be the first new mower I have ever owned.

 

[backwoods]

Very nice bud that should serve you well, now save up for the 300

 

[Kster526]

may be selling a few herd members off so there is room for a few new ones, maybe.

That's a really nice looking unit. I'm sure you'll enjoy it and save a lot of time mowing indeed. Nice too that it's made in good 'ol U.S.A !!! 🇺🇸 .

I'll take the 140

 

[Kster526]

Knew that was coming…..🤣

Well it showed up today . Thanks to Kyle2 and the guys at Pikeville Equipment . First one sold and out the door this Spring for them.Looking forward to seat time with this one, I’m sure it’ll take a few cuttings to get a rhythm . Had the 235 almost 20 years.
Grass catcher is being ordered to lazy to take .🤪

 

[backwoods]

Very nice ride for mowing an I've been after him longer about the 140 chaser
