Necessary upgrade or spending our kids' inheritance

How hard is the delete on these tractors?

Seems like a no brainer.

 

I have no idea, might do that after warranty runs out

 

What are the advantages of deleting it other than not buying the fluid?

 

Depends on which system you are deleting but generally:
- More power
- More fuel economy
- Lower maintenance costs (no DPF to replace after it wears out, no DEF fluid to buy, no crap to replace when it breaks)
- Simpler to maintain
- No "no start" penalty box, or broken parts keeping your engine from running

.. probably other things I'm forgetting.

S0 what are the downsides?
- Making bambi sad
- Stinkier

 

How about pros:

less engine heat (internal and external)
More engine compartment space

 

Nice thing about 3000 hrs in the tractor seat….you know exactly what you want on your next tractor! Congrats jeff and carol

 

I expected a bit more of a smile from miz carol, or maybe she’s just in disbelief! You’ll never get her out of the pilot seat now jeff!

 

Well, the bug bit again. Our Bad Boy CZT 54" cut, was bought new in 2013, it has cut many miles of "yards", not lawns...we wore out the first deck, replaced it. Needs minor work.
We dropped it off at the dealership Monday, going to be awhile to get a spring it needs. Called the owner Tuesday, he said he had a demo unit in the showroom he would make a good deal on. Told me it had 50 hrs on it...
Well, they have to say "it has 50 hrs on it" to sell as a demo...
When I looked at the meter, it looked more like 8.9 hrs......and it comes with full warranty.
He knocked 3K off new price and we got 0% interest.
Miz Carol can't lift that heavy deck with the foot lever...heck, I struggle...so they ordered a $280 electric actuator for it and included it in the deal.
It has a 800+cc Kawasaki engine, 61" cut, cartridge type air filter.
It's a tank. Sure rides good.

 

nice rig,i looked at a bad boy and bought a deere

 

Congratulations T. Jeff. They are a good looking machine. Would have considered one the last time I bought a mower but had no local dealers.

 

I have the grandpappy of that mower. Mine was a demo too...I think it had 80 hours on it...I think mine is a 2008 model. 60" and 850CC. Still runs and cuts as good as the day I brought it home.

 

Congrats Jeff...nice machine!!

You and Miz Carol deserve this new mower!

 

Great deal hope it serves you well for years to come

 

You are like a kid in a candy store. Nice looking machine.

 

Good looking machine. Am I noticing a orange theme?

 

Best of luck with it!

 

T.Jeff Veal IIRC my Z turn is about a 2013 how many hours did ya have on old one? New one sure is pretty

 

Nice machine...looks like something that should last a long time if taken care of... Kawasaki power and Hydrogear 4400 drives
Interesting how BB apparently changes the price depending on if cash or financed sale, that seems a little shady...but sounds like maybe your dealer cut through the crap?

 

I think so!
