you forgot Andy Williams, Bobby Helms, Glen Campbell, and Gene Autry! Yep. When the Rankin and Bass shows come on it is always fun to see people look at those as "NEW"... :-).

Yes, that is what I was referring to. Thanks.

Ok. I was just curious. My 4600 sits in my Pole barn so it doesn’t get the weather (other than the cold) and I use my hydraulic heater to warm everything up before I use it. Thanks!

I’ll amend this - they are synched. When one is pushed in one direction the other moves back in the other direction. It has been that way since 2001 when I got the 4600.

General question - I’ve always had behavior where the two loader attachments would move as others have described. I’ve always thought that was normal and haven’t had any issues. Is there a maintenance interval or things to look for to verify that there arn’t problems? I keep everything...

You make an important point that I think others have glossed over. Availability of parts and repairs. When I bought my 4600 in 2000, my B in 2013, and my garden tractor in 2010, i paid attention to that. I also bought commercial. I have not had issues with the more recent units and the B had...

Sounds like the gas tank size is an issue. Is it enough of an issue to want to spend money on the more expensive diesel Fuel? And if you do, would you burn off-road vs. regular #1/#2?

Thanks. I’ll review those. It looks like a R model is the way to go over the M, though. Do all models have their own PTO, too?

Thanks for your feedback. I have more and more leaves in my yard yearly and I also get a bit of unregular growth of the grass that (we live on a hobby farm) means more clippings. I’d prefer to have something that mulches and helps grind that stuff up. I do plan to fertilize this year and i...

Thank you for all of the responses! Much appreciated. I am looking at the commercial units - primarily the M series (not R - I don’t need Diesel). Yes, they are expensive - but the value is there for sure. The extra steel in the deck, the upgraded seat, and the ROPS for lights, etc. All...

I’m looking for some good reviews or threads on JD Zero Turn mowers. Any suggestions? Thanks! -Bob

Unfortunately the bulbs do not work. My lights in my ROPS are halogens.

That has worked for me on my 4600 as well.

Ok. I plan to do the same. Having the extra light in the winter will be a big win - that it won’t drag down the battery if I leave them on without the engine running.
