1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Finally gonna give the old snapper a rest. Gonna pull the trigger on this tomorrow.

 

On another note, I rotated the receptacle.

OCD won't kick in anymore, at least not when I'm staring at my wall

 

Fucking cup holder makes that legit AF

 

that looks like one hell of a mower

 

Yup. Got a welded deck instead of stamped, 6 gallon tanks, and a 21hp Kawasaki engine. Step up from the home depot models.

 

Fuck, Jimmie would be proud as hell

 

much mo betta

 

The new Briggs motors are junk so Ive heard. And as for kohler, well I dunno if a company that makes toilets has any business making engines so I decided to pass on that model.

 

That's a shame.

The Hobart generator/welder we've used has a Briggs motor and that thing is solid as hell. I'm not up to speed at all on what's reliable or not.

That mower sounds really promising, gonna be fun as hell I bet!

Meanwhile, I'll download Lawn Mowing Simulator (available on Steam) once I pick up my PC next weekend

Otherwise I'll just live vicariously through you

 

what?!?!?! Well TIL! I knew about using a + to make sure it had to include something but never thought a - would force an exclusion Thanks for that

 

I was out of the hustler dealer before any of the raptor stuff, but if it's anything like their older lines you will not be disappointed at all!

Good pick

 

Indeed I am

 

Yup, the new briggs stuff is stupid junky. I refuse to accept a "lifetime" oil filter, I'm just waiting to hear about all the broken con rods in the future. Kohler used to worse than briggs back when briggs made high quality shit. Now I'd rate kohler "slightly" better than modern briggs. However both are dog shit compared to a kawasaki.

Kawasaki parts are expensive as all get out in comparison to the other 2 but honestly, making sure the gas is fresh and filters/fluids get serviced you shouldn't have to buy anything major for 2000 hours

 

Those kawi motors are the shit! I have a 9hp I think or 12 maybe in my john deere gt235 rider. Its a 2004, ive had for 6 years and it has never given me one problem! Burns no oil either! its a 18hp actually. Its beast!

 

The Toro place wanted more for a lesser quality mower imo. No name motor, cheesy "suspension" system, thinner deck. Paying for the name I guess.

 

I saw a zero turn with a damn kubota diesel running around one of the office buildings I work in. Prob a 20k mower.

 

GT235? That should have a Kawasaki FH580V motor, rated at 18hp. Takes service kit 99969-6536

 

Correct again sir. Toro makes great commercial mowers but they way way overcharge for consumer grade stuff. Same with the walk behinds, you're only paying for the name and reputation

 

You make me want to own a chainsaw, even though I have no reason to own a chainsaw.
