Muhammad has another site now, a Lawnmower forum that has a ton of traffic. They have a Cub Cadet section that gets a lot of play.
Mine was ok. Between teenagers running over rocks and stumps, and ethanol gas, I had a lot of issues. Got fed up and got rid of it at about 8 years old after the last kid moved out.
I have an M60 Tank. Have had it for about 10 years now and other than consumables (blades, belts and a spindle once in a while), been a good machine. I mow about 7 ares, with it. I'd love to have a Kubota diesel zero turn, my wallet won't allow it however. We have non E gas here too nd my small engines all consume it. No kids here (all grown) and just yard with no obstacles.
I didn't get the diesel zero turn. Price would have been about $8k more
mine has a 27hp Kohler engine on it.
Daren, Since you seem interested in buying non-ethanol gas here is a ;link to a website that I use to find non-ethanol. This link is specific to AR but it also has every other state including Canadian stations too. If you travel much maybe you can use their app. It works great and it will find the closest station that sells non-ethanol, to where ever you happen to be. I use the app all the time. Anyway, here is the link in case you don't already know about this website. https://www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=AR
Thanks for the link, but your a little late
There's a propane/ gas station 3/10 of a mile from my house that sells non-ethanol gas. And when they replaced the tanks at the truck stop, they added non-ethanol at two of the pumps as well. I only use non-ethanol gas in my small equipment. We haven't had any issues with our vehicles. Just the stuff that sits for any length of time since the ethanol fuel wicks water and goes bad faster.
Oh yeah! My neighbor busted a part in his Chinese machine and soo-prise soo-prise, HE CANNOT GET ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS!! His 4WD tractor is now 2WD only.
I get people all the time asking me if I know where they can get parts for this or that on their chinese tractor, I just tell them your choices and chances are very limited.
Have you by chance tested your fuel for ethanol content? I'm curious. I bought 5 gallons lately and tested it when I got home, showed 5 percent Ethanol, pump is labeled "non ethanol". I "think" that's legal, but barely...but it's been a minute or two since I looked at the laws and regs on that stuff.
Yea I heard that arguement the other day, guy said Kubota's too light.
Havent tested it. I buy from the truck stop most of the time. They have a separate nozzle for the non ethanol. I don't trust it from the ones that have low test, mid, then high test non ethanol on the same nozzle. Seems to me there would be some cross contamination from what's in the hose. I do know, the stuff in the mower lasted over 6 months with no stabilizer and no issues. The stuff labeled to have ethanol would give me fits after 3 months in my small engines.
