What did yours cost?

Picked mine up from a reseller that had purchased it at a government auction. I paid $3500 for mine. I did have to drive from Oklahoma City to Orlando, FL to pick it up. A friend and myself made the trip in 42 hours. We never turned off my truck during the trip.I actually just got home from using it on three mowing jobs this evening. I have the only one in my area and this has allowed me to get some mowing accounts that others are unable to bid. My closest dealer for these was surprised that I had one and that I was not with some government entity. The dealer offered to purchase mine unseen for 6K. I made my money back the first year I used it.

The great thing about the deweze is that you never feel that you are out of control or that you are in a precarious situation. It is a very stable machine.

As soon as I can get the camera from my wife I will upload some pics.

wow, sounds like a major good deal and since you were able to pay for it, even better. Yep Pics would be appreciated!

Now that looks interesting and the price of low hour used models seems reasonable. The mower looks to more of a finishing type. Will it handle tall pasture grass without bogging down?

Hi:

I would say the garden tractor if you are going sideways. I have a Garden Tractor (Sears GT5000 - 50" deck), a 2305 (62"mmm), and a 3320 (72"MM). The 2305 feels far more stable on side slopes than the 3320 (The 3320 still makes me nervous). But in your case I'm sure the Garden tractor will feel more stable. Also, if the worst were to happen and it flip the garden tractor won't kill you and you can right it without a crane... ;)

If you are going straight up and down I think they are all good. In fact for traction the 3320 with 4wd and a locking diff will be much better than a 2wd tractor with an open diff.

I've been looking at those unverferth 4" wheel extensions for the 3000 series. Then I might feel stable.
The smaller garden tractors always feel better on hills than a bigger tractor to me.
