In Reply to: Husqvarna rider 155 for 1/3 acre lot posted by Jim on Monday, March 10, 2003:
Hey all, I have a Pro 15 which is very similar. I purchased mine used from E-Bay to drove to pick it up. It has the 38" side discharge deck with the Kawasaki motor. From talking to people, of all the engines available, this is the ideal one to have, so keep that in mind if your looking for one on the used market. Kawasaki has a reputation about like Honda- run forever. Since I have had the mower I've had to do a little work to get it in tip-top shape, but now it cuts like a dream. Plus with all the trees in my yard, I couldn't ask for a better mower. As well, it doesn't tear up the grass as it turns like a zero-turn does. The only problem I have run into is the tendency it has to scalp the grass when mowing diagonally over a sharper decline (say into a ditch). Even side discharging, the 3 blades do a great job of keeping the clippings small, and when I have to pick them up, I have a pull-behind lawn vacuum. I would highly recommend this mower for smaller yards.
