Is the Simplicity Champion a good mower?

Question

I have 2.5 acres, fairly flat land and am in need of a new mower. The Simplicity mowers have really grabbed my attention, but I have been unable to find anyone with many details about them.
I'm wanting a Zero-Turn mower, but have a limited budget.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Answer 1

I have owned two Simplicitys. I mowed 1.5 acres with it. The first one lasted 22 years. The new one is great. They've added a lot improvements since my first one. This one is now five years old and haven't had any problems. One thing I do like about my Simplicity is that it has rollers on the back of the deck so you can "stripe" the lawn like they do on baseball fields. Every once in a while I try a new pattern just for kicks--it makes mowing the lawn fun.

I also have a Simplicity snowblower. I've had it for 10 years without a problem except I had to replace the plastic bar at the bottom that rubs against the concrete but it was cheap and was held in place by two nuts and bolts.

All the Simplicitys are easy to work on if you like tinkering or you need to change the oil or clean the deck, etc.

Answer 2

Simplicity is a very good brand.... I'd also look at snapper as well (simplicity owned)
