    I finally broke down and bought me a new tool. I have been having some issues mowing the grass and my blood sugar drops really low so I broke down and bought me a riding mower. I like mowing the grass and have been pushing my yard for about 20 years now. I found a good deal on a brand new one already marked down and they still allowed a veterans discount so I got me the first new riding mower I have ever bought.



    A little bit bigger deck than I wanted but it'll work

    I have been pushing for a long time and will admit I am kinda nal about having strait lines across the yard. This mower allows that. I cut a border around the yard about 2 mower widths so I could turn at the end of each pass. After that it's pretty much just start making your strait pasess back and forth. At the end of each pass it'll do a quick 180 and away you go again in the other direction. I also change the direction I mow every time I cut the grass so the grass doesn't start laying down and causing streaks.

    Big deck = time saver.

    You’ll be done in a fraction of the time it took to push mow.

    It used to take me about an hour and a half to push if I didn't have to stop much this takes about 30-40 minutes

    Not one of the big fancy ones but I don't need any of that. This is pretty fancy for me. Now I can't wait for the grass to grow again

    What's the biggest tire you can squeeze under it without a lift and CMC?

    I haven't looked that far yet maybe I'll put it in your stock thread. Somebody does have a set of pod lights that might get installed :anonymous:

    Post her up on my stock thread. And absolutely on the lights. I would in a heart beat. LEDs don't pull that much juice

    Don’t try to test the approach angle or flex the front wheels. You’ll break the transmission cradle. Ask me how I know :anonymous:
