So I have been wanting to upgrade from my california trimmer for a while. I have been looking at different mowers for a few weeks,that's how I stumbled across this forum. I found 2 yesterday at a john deere store here in oklahoma. They were 220b that looked pretty good from the pictures. I went this morning with intentions of buying one. They were both listed for $350 dollars each. I was going to see if they would take 300.
When I got there they said the guy that normally takes care of the golf course stuff was gone for the week. So another guy showed me to the mowers way in the back of their lot out in the south 40. He had written down prices and serial numbers for the used ones they had in stock. We got out there and he said the 2 mowers I wanted to look at were gone. However they did have a 220sl. The serial number on his sheet said $350. The serial number on the mower matched to a price of $350. The tag on the mower said $2700. The guy looked at me and said it was the $350 mower. I said I'll go get my truck so we can load it. It ended up being $380 WITH TAX AND EVERYTHING.
It seems like the reel may be a little worn down but everything seems to be in good shape. I think I got the deal of the century with this one.
