We bought one of those 0 turn mowers, one time was about $4,000.00, and it was when my back was suffering bad from injury, so Marie rode it cutting frontage outside our property, and when she came back she looked like she had been through a dust storm, dirt all over her. We took it back and told them and they said the blades are upside down, they gave us our money back.
That's pretty funny. I got my first mower from a department store sidewalk sale for $25. The thing had been returned...there was a light mist of green under the deck. I started it up and it kept surging. I took a dime out of my pocket, leaned the carb out, and it purred like a kitten. Sold!
