New England B.S. Thread

I just use it out of personal preference, used it in my Tacoma too.

Nope. However, last year, the SAE released different hp and tq ratings by the different octanes of gas that you use.

Idk, 3675 I think. But, 4:30 > 3:73, and having a tranny that isnt blown/going to blow every six months helps..

Plus, the tundra is the only full-size pick up to comply with the SAE's towing standard, j2807.

 

Probably a free lunch with it too

 

Yes sir. That meeting isn't half bad, happens twice a week and cuts back on my food bill for the week!

 

You guys are highlarious 8)--sold my old tractor goofballs

 

Nice deal, what kind?

 

What time should I be there? I could be the new guy from the temp agency

 

?!
You sold a tractor for less than $500?! I paid $4000 for my Kubota!
What was it?

 

I bought my Murray for $200 a year ago. Best deal I've made in a long time, even sold the bagger off it for $100.

 

Haha, wouldn't fly. It's an internal PM meeting, you'd stick out like a sore thumb. There's only a handful of us and we've been working together for 3 years now. We actually go into the conference room and lock the door so no subs or owners reps can come in.

 

What do you guys use to mow your lawns? Tractor or walk behind? What size, manufacturer and how do you like it? I need a new one for next year. A tractor wont really work due to yard layout but I could make it work if it was worth it.

 

I have a walk behind with a bagger. Works well but I had to re-work the carbs to make it run right.

 

Oh well. I am out after work for beers on Wednesday so maybe Friday will work

 

What size? Is it commercial or residential

 

I've got one of these. It's a Scott, it's one person-power and it works great. I love it, really, Nice and quiet, no running out of gas (unless of course, I run out of gas), no oil to check or change, no annoying carb problems or tuneups needed. Just sharpen the blades in the spring and it's good to go.

42" Murray rider. No complaints for the price I paid, love it in fall for the leaves. $200 on CL.

My walkaround is a 21" Craftsman mulcher. Had it 9 years now and it's fine. The self-propelled broke on it a few years ago but it got fixed. Paid about $200 for it new.

 

I like those. I had one as a kid in West Roxbury but I only had to cut a piece about 45'x12'. I sit on an acre and probably cut a1/2 acre. It used to take me all day sat with my craftsman walk behind to cut and bag

 

I don't remember the brand, it's a generic brand one though. Residential for sure and I got it for free. My wife's dad couldn't get it to run. It's push, no propulsion but it's got large rear wheels that help and my yard is fairly flat. I'm pretty sure it's a Yard Machine (MTD). Their customer service sucks, I wouldn't buy one unless you're comfortable doing your own work. We had to drill out the carb to make it run right.

 

My craftsman was a three way one. It would bag, mulch and side discharge. It was alright just not big enough

 

Oh, never mind. Hurr dee durr, you were talking about an L&G tractor.
I was all like

 

Ya my snowblower is mtd and your right they do suck. That being said it is about 20 years old and I dont baby it
