Nice tractor. Thanks for the pics and the write up.
YTH2454 review
I gave up on my JD 265. I just bought a new YTH 2454 with 1.1 hrs on it. I was considering the cub cadet gt1554 with the Kohler.
I like the Briggs Intek 24 HP V-twin. It's very quiet and powerfull. It didn't grunt even with a 900lbs roller behind it while mowing. The transaxle made some strange noises while pulling it. It is a lawn mower, not a garden tractor after all.
The seat is comfy and very adjustable. It fits my wife (5') and myself (5.11") perfectly. The pedals are easy to operate. so is the mower deck height lever.
The mower deck has a very beefy steel Gaurd bolted to the bottom edge. It makes the stamped steel deck very durable. The spindels are ported for airflow. said to "pull" the grass up to be cut, but it leaves allot of grass on top of the deck. It needs to be washed down after every mowing to prevent any rotting. ( I think) I like the hose rinse port on top too. Very clean underneath I was surprised how well that works.
I'm very pleased with the number of Grease zerks. The front axle/steering spindels and the mower spindels. Also the front hubs. too bad the steering linkage doesn't.
My only complaint is the cheap plastic. The handles for locking the parking brake and the cruise control. The cheap net for "cell phone?" had plastic rivets that popped out when I tried to put the deck wash nozzel in there. I wanted to keep it on the machine. The Plastic tray by the cup holder seems useless for anything you don't want to loose in the lawn.
I purchased this at a Tractor Supply Center with the 4 yr service plan. For a big lawnmower I think it's an excellent choice. $1000 less than the cub which is a garden tractor.
