    Asked the seller about original reciepts for proof of purchase and he told me he brought it 2nd hand, i looked at his previous sold items and i saw a 2nd hand ride on mower was sold not too long ago, amongst other things, personally i suspect it was a well used item and probably never used by him. So i declined the purchase.

    Not sure about this one, any feedback other than 11hp is small.

    Looks in very good condition, but 11hp is to small, they went to a 13hp some time ago now so it would be a good few years old, I used an 11hp for a while once , because of the low hp the chute used to block up a bit , But like all machines you get used to their limitations ,you could always repower it with a bigger motor and if you are not using it on every lawn it could be a good mower ,The deck alone is worth nearly 3 grand not many hours I would be looking into it if you don't have a rider

    Ive had the same issues on ebay members selling stuf .
    I bought one of those back pack whippys a while back.
    Problem is, your upper back and shoulders start to ache after 30 mins.....
    So now it sits in the garage...

    Haha I like the comment, only used on lawn acreage. Just in case anyone was worried he might be mowing pools with it
