I'm with you on that train of thought. I HATE mowing.

And looks even better than that when it's someone else doing it!

I forget what GREEN grass looks like. Here in Cincy it hasn't rained, in what seems like, about a month. I've got plenty of straw in the front yard to make scarecrows for Halloween.

But the hydro-stat trans sure is nice on the 3032e.
Buddy of mine has a 750 4x4 t/l/b and that is a sweet rig, albeit a bit narrow. It is heavy for its size though. I was looking for a 1050 or 1250, mostly 'cause they have a turbo but they were all either beat, pricy, or pricy and beat Did look at a 1070 (gear drive replacement for the 50 series) and that was a nice machine. 40 horse 4 cylinder, iirc. I'm a gear drive fan, but I gotta admit that hydro is darn nice, especially for loader work.

Feel free to come by my place and mow the acre+...I'll even provide ya beverages.

If it needs it, I try to mow right after it rains....it's easier on my allergies.

I liked my old 950, but it certainly took a little more coordination than the current 3032.
The old 950 was much more mechanical in nature and required more interaction to accomplish the same tasks made a little easier by the hydrostat.
Simplicity is good when you have your kids mowing the yard.
I put my older son on the 3032 and my younger son on the LT166.
With my two boys on the tractors and me tending the weed-eater, we can get the entire yard done in about three hours.
