The Super Official Homeowners Thread

dude, nice. a JD + Stihl combo is pretty much the unbeatable big-yard homeowner combo.

good for you getting the locking rear diff too. you have to have that for any serious work with the attachments as well as if you need to mow across any steep grades. the axles are usually the first thing to die on a bigbox quality yard mower from either spinning the open diff or loading the weight up on a bearing on one side too much.

i have super fond memories of the JD's my family used to own back when we had some large property in PA. we had a 755 and my granddad had a F510 which was a rear-steer 3 wheeler with a front deck. the 755 was incredible and we used almost every attachment you could get for it to maintain our property. my dad even ended up in the paper during the blizzard of 1993 when he used the snow blower to dig out our entire subdivision in a day. looked just like this:

i could go on. the 755 was sold when we moved and we never got a tractor again after that, which made sense but it was a bummer. that tractor was a big part of my little kid years. first time i got to drive it by myself i thought i was the biggest badass the world had ever seen.
