What is the life expectancy of a John Deere mower?
We are looking at a 717a commerical zero turn and a residential zero turn. We mow about 4 acres, slight hills, some trees to go around. How long would we expect either of these mowers to last with regular maintenance and upkeep? Would we be better off going with a lawn or garden tractor?
If you are really going to mow 4 acres regularly, choose the commercial mower. They are made for mowing lots of land and for many more hours of usage. They cost more but last a very very long time with regularly scheduled maintenance of engine and equipment. There are commercial zero turn machines that have attachments if you want that type of machine. "Walker Mowers" make residential mowers to commercial spec. Go check them out, there are about 5 or six different attachments, even front loaders! Check out your warranty time periods, also. That is very important, especially with 4 acres!!!
