In case you were wondering how a riding mower fits in a short bed

I’d ride like the all day. Looks like the rear wheels were heavy in the bed if not the very front of the tailgate.

 

100% best part of owning a tape measure is using it to figure out if things fit amongst other things

 

Jealous of the x500 series with the locking diff. Found out too late my x300 series w/o said diff doesn't drive that same blower so well. BTW, kind late to take that thing off? I'm mowing already.

 

This thread is Bucky approved! It's got the expected funny AF responses from the TW peanut gallery with just the right amount of useful information to make me not regret wasting my time reading it.

Well done team, well done!

 

The locker has been surprisingly useful all winter. I have a set of chains for the tractor that I never bothered to put on.

That photo is from the summer. The blower is still on. This is the past weekend :

 

Should have just pulled a George Jones & bought a bottle of Jack Daniels and drove the lawn mower home.

 

Grammar*. I mean, if you're going to make fun of me, spell the words correctly!

 

I have a 42" Husqvarna I bought new from Lowe's in 2017. I remember paying $1300 with 10% military discount. I just priced the same model and they are selling for $2099!

I've used my HF (Harbor Freight) collapse-able trailer to take it in for warranty work a couple of years ago. The ramps I have are short with no extension and curved like yours...it would be a hazard for me to load in the bed.

 

I've bought a mint a 2005 hydrostatic husquvara 42'' mower that i bought last year with 185 hr. on it for $500 off cragslist. I've put in the bed which fits well, but its a pita going up the ramps with it. I found my 5x10 utility trailer with a few mods works much better...easy on, and off. The 15 hp kawasaki twin has plenty enough power loading using either.

 

Looks like you'll be golfing about mid July but at least you won't have a drought this year.

 

When building my house with the rear seat down and front seat slid forward I could put 4x8' sheets in my Chevy Citation hatchback but, couldn't quite close the hatch !

 

My buddy hauls his 11ft long sled in his 5ft bed, anything can fit if you don't care about da law

 

Do we have a video of the loading process?
Please?

 

The best advice you can give

 

Damn. Good deal. Sounds stolen.

 

How do you check the hours (hr) on the riding mower?

I've got over 5 years of Spring/Summer/Fall use so I can't imagine how many hours I would have on her.

EDIT: I just noticed my model does not have the meter. Watched this video to source part needed here:
