It was mowing day and it was a beautiful one at that.
I started by mowing my in-laws place using a small Craftsman then I mowed our Preachers place with my GT1554 that stays onsite. Next, I went to my place and decided to use the 2186 to mow. Last week I used the 1864. If you ever want a first hand comparison of the difference between a lawn tractor and a garden tractor try that. The 2186 cut well but the ride was rough, the tires slipped and a few times I lost traction all together. The 1864 is much more smooth, more comfortable and the Ags just don't slip. I do like the foot controls on the 2186 over the hand controls of the 1864, thats why I bought it, and it has the same 18hp Kohler that my 1864 does so I have a backup engine if needed. All in all, a very good day. About 4 hours cutting grass using three different tractors.
