Yes. Costco is the devil when it comes to selling us stuff we didn't know we needed desperately.

I've been bouncing round the idea of getting one for a while now however never really found a good enough deal to let the mouths out of the wallet. In the UK, refurbished models tend to sell for circa £400-£450 so i thought i might as well post up the extra and buy a new one.

Please, please, PLEASE tell me that thing does something other than make coffee?

Like, double as a particle accelerator, perhaps?

Or, bolt it to the trunk and pickle off 1.21 GW of power?

If it doubles as a particle collider i'm in! Looks like it just turns water into strong coffee though.

LOL - just got a zero turn myself today. Couldn't justify going electric and my yard size is the max limit of what they say they will cut on one charge. Even with the higher cost of gas...it would never pay itself off. Also, dealing with batteries in my job (though be them in the 40MW - 200MW range)...I've seen too many horror stories first hand to buy in yet.

Hope you have luck with it - would be interested to hear your thoughts after a year of usage.

I was going to start a thread on this asking about zero turns, then just assumed that 99% of BMW owners probably have their yards cut by a landscaper.

Looked at Gravely, Simplicity, and Bad Boy - but chose this. Slim pickings right now...that's for sure.

50" fabricated deck with the 23hp Kawasaki. Adding a bagger, line stripe kit, deck washer, and a few other options to make it more like the ZT2 model

Hope the batteries last longer than the ones in my Ryobi tools.

Welcome to the family, had to sold my good old Lizard, but after 9 years it was time for something new. HP4 Competition, preowned by just one and low mileage, plus the dealer made a great offer for my Kawasaki and at the end it was a bargain.

Looks good but you have to get a new number plate. That one looks like you found it on the side of the road.

These number plates with red digits and Letters are in Germany owned by dealers and especially for insured testrides.
I have no idea on how many bikes this thing were mounted on, but thats the reason for the outworn look

You'll be shopping for new leathers as well, I'm sure. The lizard green clashes with the blue and white.

I got a 1Gig service / modem from Spectrum and the EEROs 6 Pro Mesh system. I cut the cable one week latter with Roku Ultras and Youtube TV including UHD and 4k streaming with almost zero problems.
