    I have the gator blades on my 48 inch Husqvarna tractor 3 blade system.
    I used the blades year round.
    It does a wonderful job on leaves During fall clean up.
    Mulches great to.

    I keep hearing/seeing Husqvarna.
    Are they actually any better built longer lasting worth the extra benji's?

    and why would a chrome cylinder be a better option?

    Chrome is faster. But seriously, I think it's for heat dissipation. That and rust protection.

    My closest power equipment dealer is Echo and Husqvarna so it's part convenience for me. Have a mix of both brands and all of them have been reliable. My mower is a Honda and snowblower is Toro

    I got quite the shock when I helped someone see why their car didn't start. I was about 16 and they had a Chevrolet Chevette. I was checking for spark, that car had spark! :eek:

    15 minutes this way or 15 minutes that way.

    Whatever happened to the Tinker driving around the neighborhood? Sharpening tools, fixing your small engine when you let the carb get gummed up....

    Good morning CT. Happy Saturday!
    I have to look at my nieces van this morning. Yes she is having car troubles again.
