Have any of you beat this one? I've tried off and on all day with no luck. I don't want to know how to beat it, just is it beatable. If it is, I'll keep trying :o

Under Forum Tools I used to be able to click on Mark This Forum Read and it did it. Now it does nothing? Is anyone else having this problem?

My local dealer has one with 184 hours for $8,500. It still has 12 months of warranty left. Does that sound like a fair deal?

I've never run one until Saturday and the darn thing surprised me. I took it for a few rounds and done pretty good. Probably because I was going slower than most. Then I left it for the wife (she was the one wanting a ZTR). She said it was a keeper so... so... so be it ;)

Can you safely substitute a 72-87 microfarad capacitor with a 88-108? It's on a 1HP belt drive fan motor. I've read you can safely go up one size as long as you stay with the same voltage rating or higher. Thanks

Here ya go.

If you don't know what COOL stands for it's Country of Origin Labeling. I think the time has come that we insist this be implemented.

Are you talking about this?

I found a Kubota ZD18 at the local Kubota dealership. I haven't looked at it but he tells me it's in good shape with 148 hours. Some guy traded it in on a bigger model. Asking price is $6,000. Actually he told me he "had" to have 6K. If it's in good shape, would that price be in line? Thanks...

I've been kicking around the idea of buying a dedicated lawn tractor. I found a new X485 2 wheel steer for $8,000 and was wondering if that's a good price? It's a discontinued model so it's hard to check pricing. Also, which model took the X485's place? Thanks

After looking at it closer I think this is what you have. It's not a shear bolt. Maybe someone, for the lack of having the right pin, put a bolt through it and secured it with a nut? If that's the case spin it around and drive it out with a punch.

My wife had an accident where another car pulled out in front of her and they collided. Everyone was OK, so that was great. My wife's seat belt (06 Chevy pickup) didn't catch and she jammed her thumb against the steering wheel. No big deal, had x-rays and everything was fine just some bruising...

What do you guys think about Chinese tools! Is the money saved worth it? I for one would rather buy a qaulity tool and be done with it but. How do you tell a quality Chinese tool from a mediocre? Or is there such a thing as quality in China? I can remember when the Japanese tools hit the...

To start off, let's leave politics out of it. Politics plays a role in it but it goes far beyond that. I know I'm opening a can of worms with this but I feel there's something to be learned! There's some members here that are in the "know"? What I think is the price goes up because they can...

A friend of mine told me this morning he was going to sell his Grizzly. Said it had 449 miles on it and he'd take $5,000 for it. I told him I'd let him know tomorrow. Is this a good price? Any known issues with this particular model? Thanks in advance
