Who has decks wider than 22" in a self propelled walk behind mower?
Original Message Mar 13, 2005 6:17 pm

The only mower wider than 22" that I could find is a Snapper that retails for just over $1,000. It is 26" wide. My problem is my yard is two levels so a rider isn't practical but I have just enough of a yard that I want the widest I can find in a good quality walk behind, self propelled mower.

I hear ya buddy! It's blasphemy, criminal, time to get a rope!

Thanks for pointing out about the 1000 series only, I didn't think to make the distinction other than just putting 1000 series. It's possible some readers may have thought all Cubs were like that.

Smitty,

I remember a discussion of this same subject last year on WTB. I remember saying that I wish someone in the industry would introduce a 28-30" single blade walk behind, with a 9HP Honda, Kawa, Briggs or Robin. It doesn't need a hydro tranny, disc drive or gears are fine with me. Put the deck on chains so it's a floating deck and keep everthing else simple. Make it with a Gator type blade and retail it at 999.00. I think you would sell a ton of them.

I sold it to a friend, but I can borrow it or buy it back if I want, or he wants to sell.

That BCS looks like the best thing on the block that you can get new right now. I forgot all about them. On behalf of Dave, Thanks.
