Thanks DIY!

Thanks Jeff!

Thanks Dingo!

Thanks LG! I've been eyeballing the classifieds for a few years to find the perfect one.

Not at all! It only needed a quick wash, air in the tires, and 3 clicks of adjustment for perfect bedknife contact. I wish I bought two!

Lol, thanks Jayme!

Thanks man! I wanted to, but was razor thin on time. I got home with 5 mins to spare. 😬

I've been picking out wood chunks from my compost mix. Have you ever hit one of those and does it to much damage?

@@kove I have and it has not done any damage, but I heard it can. It hasn't happened much, but I try to keep it clean no matter what.

They were incredibly well engineered. For 100,000 miles I've done nothing except change oil every year with synthetic. I downgraded from a ram 1500 strictly because of the maintenance costs, Zero regrets!

Tune up and a wash and she's 🍒!

I'm now thinking about selling one, but hard to let go!

@@kove Totally get it! Got a good deal on one, unfortunately it’s only a 5 blade, but will be my first. You ever be disappointed with the engine or thought about the Harbor Freight Predator engine swap?

@@JP-fk6pm I have thought about it for my older 17 greens mower McLane. Seems a lot of fellas have good results with that.

Thanks Kevin! I've got a lot riding on the line and very busy in the other hand but hope I can still pull though. Encouragement like this is what it takes to get through, thank you!!

Thanks John! Always read about these diamond deals on the lawn forum, never thought I'd find one even after years of waiting patiently. I already wish I bought at least one more...😌

She's a sleeper!

Thanks Rod! The precision reel adjustment blew my mind. Especially after using mcclanes for years.

Thanks Chad, I had the worse in mind and was hoping for the best. Turned out the latter! Absolutely agree with ya!

Thanks David!

Lol, I was originally going for a 1600, but the price got too high. Rick will be the one to give it to you, a great guy I wish I had time to talk with more.

@@kove yeah I got heated.. and ran the bid up on one. Waiting for the time to expire and then have it extend for an additional 3 mins each time… is painful

Same reaction here lol. My cut off was $600 for the 1600, and 400 for the 1000. If the others are the conditions of my 1000, I would have bought several of them. But that's the thing with not knowing the full status beforehand.

It's all I can think about right now🧟‍♂️

😆

I spit me drink up a little..

I'm going to go through the lawn with a comb looking for rocks and sticks. Can not wait to use it! That was a great deal for a 220! How long were you looking for one before finding it?

@@kove Just a couple months. There were a lot of them for cheap back then. I tried to get a Toro, but they were 10hrs away in Boise. I'm extremely happy with my JD 220C, I'm not sure why more people don't look for a JD. They are both great reel mowers.

For sure ! 🏄‍♂️

Thanks Rudolf! I still love to use it, doesn't get old.

Thanks!

lol, I was Lawn Special Ops, in and out without the population even knowing.

Good to know that happens, I'll need to be careful around those!

Thanks! I've been patiently looking and waiting for this deal for about 2 years.

@@kove I took on a putting green project like you did but I stupidly put down a weed and feed product that contained mesotrione and it killed everything. I was getting such great germination with the bent seed too. It gutted me. But I'll try again next year. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

@@dlandes14 oh, that would be brutal! I had no idea mesotrione wasn't compatible. Thanks!

Exactly 😂

A golf course in Schaumburg. They all were sold, I wish I bought more than one now!

🤣 LMAO. I'm auditioning for the sequel of 1 hour photo.

I checked at least once a week marketplace, craigslist, and auction websites such as Week's. It took me about two years to find this one :)

@@kove Took me a year, but I finally got one! Hope yours is still going strong.

I checked any and all websites with them listed in my area. It took over a year to find a good match. In short-patience.

Two times to be exact

@@kove my guess was 3. 🤣
