John Deere GS30

Local dealer has a walk behind GS30 with 13 hp demo with about 20 hours on it. deck has a big scrape on it, just surface rust not damaged. lists out at 2500.00 willing to "give it away" at $2200.00 I have a feeling this is not a "give away" is this a fair price ? it would come with a new mower warranty. was used at a demo show down in sarasota not demo out with other Lawn Care People.

I don't think so, he could go much lower than that

i offered 1500 he looked insulted

Buying 2 at a time i have gotten them in the 48" model for 2k each w/ a velkie. That was 4 yrs ago. They listed at 2500 than. I used to have 7 of those units. 3 now. They are well worth 2k. Id do it. Sometimes quabbling a few hundred isnt worth it. See if he will throw a velkie on? Dont know if hes told you yet but they have oversized pullies which enable them to mow right beside a hydro. Drill the pullies and you get just a tad better pull in soaking rain. If you need this mower than get it. 2 k is not bad at all. Even if he can come down. Maybe he doesnt want to. If you dont take it ,,, someone else is going to. If i needed it it would have been on my trailer.

very true. i would try for the velkie as well

definately drill the pullies. it does pull nice, but when i used one over the summer when the pullies would get wet it wouldnt pull it all. it had a bull rider sulky on it which was pretty nice that the local jd store sells. overall, a very nice mower and 2k is a good price.

you wont regret it,, mow all day long w/ a velkie in 4th gear. Day after day after day everyday. Great units.
