Equipment To Last

[Rebelsplaya15]

Hey Im Currently Servicing with a craftsman 50in Garden tractor, a john deere 316 ,a stihl trimmer, 2 craftsman blowers, a yard machines push mower , a craftsman push mower and a 5x10 12in wheels carry on trailer. Next season i would like to be getting a new 61/2 by 14 trailer so we can haul the two garden tractors and everything else in one trip. I Am looking soon to getting a new toro 20041 Personel pace, electric start, bagging mower from a dealer we usually go to and i am also looking at getting soon a Used John Deere LX 188 with a 48in Hydrostatic and foot controlled. We Are mowing about 10 yards a week and my craftsman is 95 model so its about done so my friend in the business with me told me to look for a newer john deere because they collect them and restore them and they have 2 70's,a 112,212,316,420,and An A model. Well I Found one for about $1800 used which isnt bad at all and i was thinking i need a new push mower first because i bought mine at Menards Last Year for $189 And It isnt going to last all season so i want to use it as a back up mower and my friend is proboably going to get the same thing because he bought his cratsman last year and its still new but i think we both need the same type of mower so the heights are the same and everything else is the same. He has just restored his 316 and he said that he might get a LX188 or whatever i get so we will have the same types o mowers. The Push Mower is Like $419 new so its not bad. Any Tips On Trailer Sites Or new Mowers or where i can get used john Deere mowers and when i should trade my craftsman in! THNX!
