Stop in for a cup of coffee

Morning!
My son bought a toro 10 foot front mount mower. $1700 used and a differential for $3500. He now has an 85 hp mower worth 7 grand. Mows his 4 acres with a bunch of trees in a couple hours.
He mowed about 8 acres here in 3 hours. That thing rocks!

grasshopper is a very durable mower, blades are heavy duty and changing them is a snap. Comes with quite a price tag though.

My co-worker swears by (not at) his Toro. Think there might be an advantage to the drive system over the hydrostatic of my JD. Don't know that there's much I can do for my drivetrain once it starts burning up, hope it don't!
