It's personal preference. Depends how fussy you are with your lawn. I had a Farm King 84 rear discharge on a New Holland TC45DA with super steer and large turf tires, but the mower did not have the lift required to mow the wheel tracks, tractor compacted the ground too much and keeping the deck clean from the sticking grass was a real issue. Neighbor has a land pride 72 and is always complaining on how grass sticks to it as well. Once it started to cling the lift of the mower got worse. At that time, I had a little L120 48 along with a 21 push to do the tight spots. So, went to the Deere dealer and brought home a 930 zero turn with a 54 deck, a 920 with a 48 deck and X734 with a 60 deck to demo. The zero turn are nice, but you can't just kick back and relax, two hands required, and i didn't like the tearing up the lawn in cornering on the side hills. With a zero turn I still would need something else for snow, spraying, etc. Ended up with a X739 60 deck, all wheel steer 4wd, turns extremely short, no scuffing and I can kick back and relax. I have mulch placed 4' wider than my trees so I have no trimming to do anymore. Mowing a little over 3 acres, takes about 1.5 hours per time, mowing twice a week when we have the moisture. I have the vacuum/bagger/cart, a broom, a snowblower, a front blade and a mulch on demand kit on the mower. I have yet to have anything stick to this mower deck, and I have had it for 3 seasons now. They're not exactly giving them away, and it does seem to like its fuel, but up until now, I never really complained about that, but heck who's not, right? Can't beat it. One machine to maintain, multitasker.

Today's Featured Article - Two-Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. Whether for product liability or because the aftermarket parts and labor business is lucrative, this concept is disturbingly prevalent. Fortunately when you step into your shop and make that jump 50 years back in time to work with your old tractor, this concept goes out the window. Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
