Whatever you feel like thread.

Is the XOne a full-suspension machine? If I were buying a new mower today, I'd be looking hard at machines with suspension, no matter what power plant drives it.

My machine is a hard ride, in fact these early-2000's 700/900 series Deere's were known among landscapers to be a uniquely stiff, even compared to other hard-tails of the time (eg. Exmark). It's a solid machine, but just like mom warned you about eating before swimming, this machine will have you cramping within 30 minutes if you don't go in with an empty stomach.

Air-ride seats are the hot band-aid to bumpy rides these days.

No, it's not full suspension. I have the flex forks on the front and aired down rear tires.

Once I went to a Kubota front mount diesel, the ZTR stays in the barn almost all time now. Think I'll sell it. Don't need the extra upkeep anyway and it's my wife's mower and she never uses it.

Yes, they are and my Kubota front mount diesel came with air ride.

Our yard at last mowing on Friday.

Weather here has been terrible. A solid month of drought right at overseeding time, then a week of continuous rain washing away what little seed might have germinated, followed by another two weeks of drought.

Doing what I can to keep it together.

Ego mulching church yard yesterday. This takes lots of power.

I'll say this, the cut seems pretty nice, and that boy looks to be loving all the experience he is gaining.

I think your arrangement with him and his family has been very beneficial to you both.

Well, I do like kids and the help. I do think kids should be driving things to help them with auto's when that time comes.
