    General tires are heavy, my mastercrafts were only a pound heavier than my load range C grabber AT2s, and my MXTs are a load range E. Grabber X3s in the same size are 77lbs each

    Cab chop and shims should only be done if needed. The wider the wheel the more likely you will need to trim/chop.

    Father in law has one. Used it one season when he had a knee replacement to clean up his yard 1 acre. I liked it more than a Dr my grandfather and I had on 2 acres years ago. Does a good job and mulches well, stores easy. Just another small engine to maintain.

    This is what I use now. Im currently on 1/2 acre against conservation land. Wind blows my direction. I use mulching or bagging blades on my 42” Deere and it’s SO MUCH EASIER than the 2-bagger. Lot more leaves per dump especially with the mulching blades. It “floats”over the grass but drags when it gets full/heavy obviously. If you’re 2 acres look at the “tough” version it may hold up better in the long run.

    Yeah looks like mobile surveillance setup. Is this near a mall or venue? Some event coming up nearby? That’s where I’ve seen them especially around holidays

    The first one I saw was at a Lowes, this one was at a Walmart.

    I just looked it up. I guess it's "lot cop" for security.

    we may have to have a little chat about your "aggressiveness" when it comes down to you are "daily driver" LOL...... trust me, doing things in small stages, will help you overall. Just ask yourself, is my truck paid off yet? If the answer is no, you might want to think about slowly dialing it back a little bit....lol. J/K..... Go balls to the wall kid!!!
