Hello! I've had a Simplicity 3100 for many years but I'm looking to upgrade. I mow approximately 3/4 acre with trees and landscaping. I've been looking at new/newer Simplicities but then the AC's caught my eye as a friend has one and loves it. As it turns out he's moving and wants to sell it. It's a 2010 AC130 (42" deck, 23HP, no AWS) and he has taken very good care of it. He's asking $900. Is this mower worth it? It's hard to find anything substantial in the way of reviews so trying to get some good honest (albeit maybe slightly biased  ) opinions.Thank you! Doc

I have one and like it. Is the price right? You'd have to price new mowers of the same size and horsepower to see what they cost but I don't think it's too bad. That's my 2 cents worth. Den ------------- Own 4 wheel 20, 2-5015, 5020 and associated equipment and 2 electric forklifts. |

Thanks Den! I did price new ones and they run $1800 - $2000 though I found a 46" for just over a grand, but I believe those have been discontinued. Not sure if that's true. I did find a 2009 AC130 for $1400, which kind of adds to my confusion or maybe curiosity; $1400 for a 2009 and $900 for a 2010...? I guess what I'm wondering is if anyone has experience with this particular year/model and, since it's 5 years old, is it worth the $900 asking price. It seems so but I'm hoping others weigh in with their thoughts. |

You will find used prices all over the place. I bought mine used 3 years ago with less than 7 hours on it for $1000.00. Reason so low...the guys parents did not use it any more. He had bought it for them and it was just sitting there unused. Den ------------- Own 4 wheel 20, 2-5015, 5020 and associated equipment and 2 electric forklifts. |

I think 900 is a good deal on it. It's a good mower. Your neighbor's giving you a deal so he don't have to advertise or take it with him. ------------- Ya cain't fix stupid. |

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the feedback. You're right, he definitely doesn't want to move it (going from fairly large yard to virtually none). I thought the $900 seemed like a good price but it's sometimes hard to be sure without others to compare. Thanks again! |

| Thanks HudCo! I really appreciate the reply. I bought it yesterday. To top it off, he just put a new battery in it, changed the oil and filled it with gas. It's good to have friends like that :) |
