Swisher Z-Max 60-Inch 26 HP Zero Turn Radius Riding Mower (Non-CARB Compliant) #ZT2660B

I am on my 2nd summer with my Swisher Z-Max and it has been a pretty decent machine. If it was powered by a Honda, in my opinion it would be the best value going. Don't get me wrong, the briggs has worked well, but I have another 60" mower powered by a Honda that handles taller grass much better and gets better fuel economy.

Mine has had some minor issues:

One steering arm pivot point came loose (inside the chassis)
Front frame member to front pivot axle member bolt came loose and fell out
When mowing, driver tends to get a fair amount of grass in their lap that blows up from the front of the deck
Gator blades are junk
I have 50 hours on mine and have replaced both deck belts. (seems a bit excessive)

Yes, it does have a few issues, but when compared to what is available in the same price range it looks pretty good. Although I have had to do a bit of wrenching on it, I have to say that it is pretty easy to work on.

Poulan Pro 54-Inch 26 HP Lawn Tractor with Briggs & Stratton Engine (Non-CARB Compliant) #PBGT26H54

The Poulan Pro 26 hp tractor has hydrostatic transmission. There is no adjustment capability on the linkage. I had to return my tractor after taking it to an approved repairman. The tractor didn't have enough power in reverse to go up the ramp on my trailer. The tractor may be acceptable if you are mowing flat areas and/or don't anticipate going in reverse up hills. They should have designed the tractor such that the transmission linkage could be adjusted... or made sure this problem didn't exist (When the repairman called the company they were aware of others having this problem).

Poulan Lawn Tractor with 38-Inch Steel Deck, 15.5 HP Briggs & Stratton Engine, 5 Speed Transmission and 18-Inch Rear Tires (Non-CARB Compliant) #PO15538LT

I've had two lawn tractors before I got the Poulon. I got the Poulon direct from the factory in a wooden crate. Getting the machine uncrated was not difficult after I realized I needed to let some air out of the tires so they would pull out of the slats holding the machine firmly in place. All I needed to do was attach the steering wheel, you'll need a cresant wrench. The mower already had oil in it. Added gasoline and it started right off first try. It cuts cleaner (more smoothly) than my old Ranch King. One thing I really like about the Poulon is the extreme ease of manuvering it around. It was almost like I have power steering as compared to the Ranch King or a MTD I owned several years ago. The Poulon makes far sharper turns than the others; not quite zero radius but a lot nearer to it. Another feature I really Appreciate is the neutral key position you can activate in order to cut while in reverse. The feature whereby you can set the hand brake and leave the mower still running, while you get off to remove something in the way, is a big help too. I haven't had the mower long enough to evaluate its longevity; but up to now its been one fine machine.

Plants have been used in cooking for years now, though many people are still unsure of how to use them correctly. For some they simply experiment until they find the perfect combination, but for others they just do not seem to be able to get the hang of it. Different herbs go with different foods and it is important to know all about the different herbs before you actually use them in your cooking.

How Herbs Have Been Used Over the Years

Herbs have a number of uses and they have been used for literally hundreds of years. The Chinese mainly discovered them and they were used for both cooking and healing purposes. However there is no evidence as to when the Chinese actually started using herbs in their cooking.

The Egyptians were also thought to have used herb plants in their cooking well before the pyramids were even built. Herbs are as popular as ever today and people tend to experiment more and more with their cooking by adding herbs to their food in order to give it extra flavour. If you eat out at restaurants then there is a big chance that the chefs there may have used herbs in their cooking.

The good thing about using herbs is that it is easy to add them to most foods, so you do not have to be a chef in order to experiment with them. If you want to use herbs in your cooking for the first time it may not work out to plan, but the best thing to do is to keep experimenting. Sometimes you may get some great results and other times you may not do as well, so you just need to persevere. Just remember not to overdo it with herbs, because by using too much it can often make the taste of the food a little overpowering. Also, another tip is to try to use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs as you will be able to tell the difference when it comes to tasting them.

Overall, herbs in our food have been used for thousands of years, although the exact dates it started are not overly clear. By adding herbs it can really add extra flavour to our food and it is also good for you at the same time; so it is definitely worth trying them out. Experiment with the different types of herbs and try them out on different foods in order to see if you can create something that is really tasty and that you will enjoy.

Arnold #OEM-190-182 Twin Bag Collect System

I put this product on a 46" MTD Yard Machines lawn mower in under 1 1/2 hours. It required no modifications. The part that took the longest time was changing out the cutting blades with the ones that are provided. It does an excellent job. I've had no clogging problems, but I watch the containers closely and stop when they are full. If not you will clog the chute to from the deck to the bags.

Swisher Mower Bucket Tooth Kit #16195

Ordered the bucket with Tooth feature as described. Received Bucket and package indicated that tooth feature was an option. Called Amazon who pushed it to Northern Freight who pushed it to Swisher. Unable to get a reply yet. Description will probably be changed soon to reflect correct information but I was caught in the middle and paid for an item with a specific option and was shipped a bucket without the tooth option, but I can order it for an additional $90 bucks. Hoping someone will make good on an unfortunate situation.
