Best time to buy 2 New Deers Lawn Tractors
Comments (10)I would guess that the quality of the Deeres and the Husqy's are roughly equal if your looking at box store units - and if your looking at box store stuff then you might as well start looking at Sears as well. I think their all "roughly" equal in build quality (according to pricing). If your looking for a a quality deere for the kids - then try and find them an older model (like yours) that was built for the long haul. If the kids dont recognize the quality issue - then let them buy their first junker from the box store - and in 3 years they will eventually come back asking for your advice the second time around. Another thing that has popped up is the lower end X300s seem to have the low end tranny in them - so for the extra money - im not really sure their worth it, one overweight person was complaining the 300 didnt have enough guts to get him up the hill in his yard... Thats pretty lame for a new machine... Of course there are the other issue such as how will the kids use (and treat) this equipment ... Dave...See More2-wheel gravely, good deal? Time's short
Comments (11)The word "custom" means the model it is. Gravely called them "Custom Convertables" for the manual start machine and "Super Convertable" for the electric start machine. His ad is wrong. He calls it a custom convertable but the machine has electric start, which would make it a super convertable. The machine either has the wrong hood on it or he or someone added electric start at some point and they never changed the hood. The only way to know is by the serial number. That deck is a Gravely mowing deck. It's their 40" commercial deck which by the way is not a brush hog. He is naming it wrong. It's for cutting grass, which it does an excellent job. The 30" rotary with the knife blade is the brush hog. - Kris...See MoreTime for a new W/D - what's good, what's not.
Comments (9)If you ask them, Lowe's will probably agree to giving you a check instead a gift card, particularly if it's the extended warranty servicing company that is refunding. The reason I know this is because of the problems I've had with my 2 year old Electrolux HE front loader. It took me a while to figure out why, as I didn't suspect the machine at first, but after a few months of use, my towels started to smell bad. I thought I wasn't letting them dry enough after using, so I put up new towel bars to they could be spread out to dry instead of on a hook. Then my clothes started to smell. Coincidentally, it was summer, and I thought I must be sweating more than usual, because my supposedly clean shirts would smell like BO shortly after putting them on. I even tried several different antiperspirants before I learned it was not me, but the washing machine. I found some info on odors and front loaders, and tried every remedy I could to get rid of the odor. I ran the cleaning cycle more often, ran loads of towels with bleach, tried vinegar in the wash, vinegar in the rinse, tried different detergents, used Affresh and Tide brand washing machine cleaners, but the smell kept coming back. A repairman told me off the record that nothing he or I could do would get rid of the smell. The only advice he could give was that when it was new, I should have started running more frequent cleaning cycles and using the Affresh weekly. It didn't make sense to me to have to run additional cycles and buy additional products (about $9 for three treatments) just to keep it from smelling. I subsequently discovered an attorney in CA who has filed a class action lawsuit againt Electrolux because they knew about this problem before they started selling the units in the US. In the end, Electrolux is going to refund me 70% of the purchase price, and the warranty company is refunding me the other 30% and sales tax on the entire purchase price ($1099). It's interesting that Lowe's, where I bought it, is now listing the unit online for $899 and is not allowing any user reviews on this model. The only reviews up there are good ones. I'm told by someone in the business that all front loaders smell, but people still buy them because of the advertising. He mentioned a new front loader, either GE or Whirlpool, he wasn't sure, that now has a fan built in the help dry out the machine after use. Good luck. I'm reading reviews on various websites and none of the washers, front or top loaders, seem very good....See MoreI'll share some good news... puppy time!
Comments (47)So funny about the frozen peas on the floor! I also know a dog who ate tomatoes off the vine, another dog who gets some canned string beans on her dinner every night and also loves raw carrots (and her name is Sadie) and I remember a former cooking forum member whose dog played with a big stalk of romaine lettuce til it was a goner and then ate it....See More- 10 months ago
