John Deere 1585: Part 2 - Why did I buy it?

[@winksta96]

This is very nice. Crazy expensive. Wish list item for sure. AC and Heat would be really nice

[@FishFind3000]

5:55 the same thing happened to me last winter when I was looking for a zero turn. Covid pushed the prices and they shot up, it was now or never for me.

I have an old F935, that I fab'd up a loader bucket on. Now I can mow, and move dirt around my property. Guess Deere doesn't want to manufacture a bucket attachment for them, probably because they'll lose tractor sales ? I used the extra spool valve for the bucket tilt , works perfect. I used a Titan bucket built for the Toro Dingo.

that V-flex deck is awesome . i rebuild mine this winter , it had a lot of worn bushings , due to lack of lubrication . make sure you take the deck of the machine periodically and grease everything . you might have to lift it up or turn it over , there is more grease fittings than you think ! while i had everything apart i powder coated the deck , 3 pcs. new bearings ect. i hope it will last me my lifetime . i'm that happy with it !

That is a sweet machine! Now I don't feel so bad spending only 14000 on my brand new hustler zero turn side discharge. I used to have a rear discharge unit and you rarely wear the grass with that type but I needed something faster and bigger for 4 acre mowing. Now I just have to wear a dust mask and glasses with a wrap-around protection. I feel yer pain in allergy season. Dang it... now you have me thinking about a full cab setup like that too for year round use. Then again it'd be hard to let go of any of my 5 JD worker garden tractors. I hope you can get a chance to mow even more yet before next summer so we can hear if this really does help your allergy symptoms for mowing.

I think you got hold of a great machine at decent price point having researched this machine and its various attachments/accessories myself over the years. They certainly weren't going down in cost! LOL! It will serve you well. Enjoy the years of service it will give you.

[@jamespetrich5610]

We have got quotes for the 60 snowblower $8100 out the door. Ridiculous but have bought 3 other 60 from 3 to 4k

[@mmrbeef]

Offda! That will make you blink a few times

[@michaelmactavish4445]

lucky kubota f series are cheaper and kubota attachments are cheapest around $1,100 to $3,100

[@steamboatwillie935]

I agree with you about the Zero - Turns. People seem to have this 'fascination' that there the best ever. Personally I think their Crap. Only good for, mowing large flat areas of Grass. Well that's about it. Very expensive for a Machine that can't do much. Not to mention they are extremely dangerous on hills.

[@michaelmactavish4445]

lucky the kubota zds you can mow,plow ,arearate and fertilize lawns and cab optional

[@maryriser7836]

Yeah I'm at the point that I want to quit wearing masks and I'm not spending this much money to still wear masks!! I'm expected it to be as dust free as a tractor, mini excavator or combine cab and it aint!

[@kylematthes1846]

Was just talking to a dealer in Michigan was told you can order any more right now because it is all getting updated. I was told the price is going up by 5%-10% than this model

[@mmrbeef]

The new models are getting LED lights and a couple other upgrades from the literature out there

[@pruitt3507]

Question about the work lights, the lights on the steering column, they road, work or they operate as both? And dose the lights on the inside the cab have a glare when they are on at night against the windshield

[@Randomname183]

Per my local John Deere dealer, the A/C can not keep up in the summer.

[@mmrbeef]

Can’t say that was my experience from last summer. Mowed the yard a couple afternoons when it was 90+ and I turned the fan down. Maybe if you lived in Texas or FL that might be the case, but we rarely see temps that high.

[@tndeere]

Several years ago I bought a 1445 with 1600 hours it now has 2600. It has been a great machine for me.Hope to get 4000 hours out of it

[@coahuayana12]

For that allergy eat local honey

[@Greg_Gatsby]

Good content and discussion. 👍

[@Bad-eb1dv]

Love the machine and the vid but you don’t owe any one an explanation but I do appreciate the education of these machines I do a lot of mowing my self but I like to use an xmark series x with a Koehler ecv980 efi and a deer 950R zTrak both with 72 inch decks but what you got is awesome

[@stevedeantabor]

Would you sell the snowblower separately?

[@mmrbeef]

The 1445 and both snow blowers were sold before winter 2022/23. Sorry about that.

[@caydenvlogs-mn1jo]

so is it true that you are going to keep one 72 inch deck for the 1585?

[@mmrbeef]

When its all said and done, I should have a 60HD blower, 72" side discharge deck, and the V-Flex deck (and potentially the broom).

[@Jacobkiziah]

Do you have a grill for a 332 you’d sell for a decent price?

[@mmrbeef]

I don’t think I have one right now. Sorry

[@jaredtolliver4751]

Are you wanting to keep your 455?

[@mmrbeef]

455 sold last weekend 10/22/22

[@ryanvalleyirrigation]

Mmrbeef how come you don't use the johndeere 318 49 snowblower. What happened to the johndeere 318 you don't use the johndeere 318 49 snowblower anymore.

[@mmrbeef]

Too much space, too much snow, and not enough time.

[@Randomname183]

Diesel zero turns are a fail vs. gas zero turns.

[@mmrbeef]

Hard to compare a multi-use machine like this with a zero turn. There is a reason they no longer build terrain cuts with gas engines.

[@maryriser7836]

We are very disappointed in the machine. Our ZT is cleaner to drive. We bought it to keep us out of the dust and heat it ain't!

[@mmrbeef]

I would agree the cabs are not as well sealed as they should be. That’s been a little disappointing. But the AC on ours works great, keeps us nice and cool in the summer and warm in the winter!
