We leased some property from an elderly couple and I had the opportunity to work on their LX188 over the last decade to mow their yard, orchard and a couple of trails back to the main fields that were farmed. I really fell in love with the LX188 and the support I received from the local Deere dealer in Reidsville NC.
Well, time came for me to replace my home mower and I bought a gently used (50 hrs) X300 last year. The mower belt design leaves me scratching my bald head. I snapped a bunch of belts before "adjusting" the primary idler pully bracket. Very touchy on belts to say the least.
Undeterred I started looking for a small tractor for the home (and it's 4.8 acre lot) we'll be moving into at the end of this month. I found a almost new (100 hrs) 2017 1025r with the loader and backhoe as well as a 60" deck for mowing.
We've got a pool demolition project to tackle (the backhoe should be very handy for that), lots of mulch, dirt and gravel to move around as well as a bunch of grass to mow!
Look forward to being part of the community!
