dells68 7,494 #1 Posted July 27, 2016 Well, I bought a super nice deck from Jason at the Big Show for Emory's suburban. He was wanting me to use it to mow our yard. After adjusting the belts it mowed great!!!! I did the mowing, but he wanted his picture made with it. A lot of our grass was toasted, but what grew had really grown and the suburban hardly broke a sweat! 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,487 #2 Posted July 27, 2016 Tell Emory he looks great with "his" wheel horse. Won't be long before he is mowing. Glenn 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks just like my yard when I use my Lawn Ranger. I know that sounds bad, but much as I love my WH tractors I have never been very impressed with their RD decks. However, that said, for as bad as their RD decks are, their snow plows are just as good as their RD decks are bad! LOL 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDF5G 2,051 #9 Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) I've mowed with RD decks all my life, never had a problem, except rust through. I put an extra SD deck that I had on my B-80 this spring while doing repairs on the RD deck. This was my first experience with a SD on a . It did as well as the RD IMO. The only thing about it was that I had to change the way I mow around everything with the chute on the right hand side. I like the SD ability to mow around things from either side.

dells68 7,494 #10 Posted July 28, 2016 I honestly liked the way it put the clippings into "rows." It brought back a nostalgic feeling from the days of seeing my grandfather and uncle mow with Poppy's RJ! Definitely different than all of the modern junk you see in the big box stores! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Al C. 1,405 #11 Posted July 28, 2016 It's great seeing Emory taking pride in that Suburban. Every hour he spends with it is an hour he's not on the Internet or playing video games. You can't find a better investment! Get him any attachment he asks for. It's worth it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He definitely is proud of his tractors! He loves to show them to people and tell them about them. He's already got a plow, front snow blade, and a snowblower for his suburbans besides the deck and he wants them all to work! Some of our best time is spent together going to shows and working on his suburbans!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Al C. 1,405 #14 Posted July 29, 2016 That is really great!!! My sons are both grown now. I wish I had the horses I have today back when they were growing up. It creates great memories, a bonding experience, and cultivated good mechanical skills. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
