Shrinkflation: Pay a little more - get a little less.

 

Yes.

My close uncle has a 72" Woods finish mower.

It does an amazing job.

I can't tell the difference between that and his ZT. It is a bit faster, but it lacks menuvaraliblity around obstacles, but that's what the ZT is for.

 

It’s the same also with the counter people that you overpay for your stuff. Love the condescending approach they have adopted. It’s fun to give someone my money who just wants you gone so they can fuck off the rest of the day. What are you going to do to make their job easier?
Some kid had one of those carts that bang bang bang’d down the aisle from a lopsided dolly wheel back and forth to move stuff in and out of the back when he could have used a better one. I wanted to smack him and say get another one but he looked like he just wanted someone to piss off on a Sunday morning

 

Biggest thing I'm wondering about is ease of use. Is the PTO mower harder to use/unwieldy or take longer to mow with than the GT with belly mower? My property is fairly open for the most part.

It would be nice to consolidate my eqpt. I currently have 4 Cub shaft drive GTs and the Yanmar. It'd be nice to get rid of 3 of the GTs. My Cub 3240 with loader stays. So get down to 2 tractors instead of 5.

 

Just shot a 2ft copperhead by my woodpile after walking my fields hunting armadillos. No luck on the dillos. I was carrying my AR15 9mm pistol with a silencer on it.

This is right behind my trash can and my dog almost got bit by one in this spot last year so I check it frequently.

 

I kill atleast one on my property every year. Just killed one 2 months ago so hopefully no more for awhile.

 

Last year I got 5 in this spot. Big momma, daddy and 3 babies.

 

Looks like a solid hit to the tail! ;-)

 

That's a big one.

 

He was wadded up on the woodpile. Tail, mid-body, neck.

That was w/o head. Probably 40" long. A really big CH.

 

We used to mow mom and dads yard with one, was aggravating mowing around all the trees and stuff but otherwise worked great!

 

That's what I was wondering. Right now my brushhog is tow so it pivots around stuff. I have never used a rigid attachment.

 

From what I hear about a finish mower is they prefer solid tires to air filled and an anti scalp roller in the middle is a must of you got rough terrain. Also wider is better for trimming. Land Pride and Woods make good quality ones. If you got tight places check wheel placement and for rough terrain you want a high mow setting

 

Lol

 

Every 2 years. I know some guys that change them every season but that's just a waste. I've gone 3 years before changing mine and honestly it still looked pretty good. Kinda like blinker fluid dont overthink it.

 

What's 1/4" amongst friends?

 

I honestly had considered this issue before I made the leap into my tractor. It has a belly mower I can remove, but also a PTO if I needed to change over to a bushhog. Not ideal for everyone, but if you can afford it.....the versatility is worth it.

 

just moved from cool season grass to warm season grass. i am now dealing with common bermuda. i sold my wonderful Ferris walk behind with proslide. greatest stripes ever on my 4" TTTF lawn. what are the recommendations for a mower that can do bermuda? looking for a 30" deck. i am not quite ready for a reel mower as i know i will be making changes like irrigation in the future so i would want the lawn fully prepped before i go there.
would love to do a commercial brand. will happily spend up to $1000-$1200 for a new to me mower.

 

Buddy of mine called me up to diagnose his daughters mower. Tells me they changed the oil and now its popping and farting and sounds like it's running on 1 cylinder, he was half right. It's a single cylinder 15.5 HP Kohler.

When they were changing out the oil, they some how bent the fuel line retainer clip into the choke linkage. The choke would close, but couldn't spring back open.

Easiest 30 second fix I ever did.

Easiest 12 pack of beer I earned as well.
