The hydrostatic on the JD LA 135, 300 hours, gets hot and won't go up an incline, typical for these I think, throw away type deal. It does run very nicely and was meticulously maintained. It's still doing the cutting, works long enough, I do the hills first. Going beyond lawn tractor models, say like a Kubota BX 1870 size for example, 54 deck, or similar, what seemingly is a decent choice.
Something in that size range would cover the work needing to be done, I've got bigger equipment for work beyond that, but seems with the rental property, used to do the neighbors, and the lawn here and that I could do the field next to it with one of these, seems with the cost of lawn tractors like the LA 135 types, money is better spent on something longer lasting and more useful. I hate the idea of even going there in regards to $$. like many, I try to get by minimally, don't need the latest and greatest etc., but saw recently a BX 1870 with 49 hours on it, just over $8K. Seemed like a decent deal, it sold in days. That size would work for the tight quarters of the rental place, and seems like a suitable upgrade. Another consideration for it's use is a cordwood saw, but I wonder if one of these would have enough power. I have the saw, be nice for a fuel efficient power source like one of these, got tons of small diameter wood around here. JD and Kubota, not sure I would venture into other brands given dealer locations. I'm assuming the hydrostatic in these are a lot more durable. With a 3 pt and loader, much more useful too. What's your opinion .....

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
