Riding Lawnmower Thread

[Chechem]

Just laughs, I know, but you have to register lawn mowers in many states: personal property tax.  I discovered that in Virginia.  Probably still owe them money.

Get out of town???

Yep, I skipped.  Jackwagons billed me twice; one for the mower I had when I moved there and once for the new one I bought.

BTW, I got a cherry tree planted today, then added some cone flowers in Cat's sand box (shhhhh).
How was your yard work?

I mowed the lawn, finished the dump trailer, showed mom how to ride it, and then tested it's capabilities in the field.

Good job.  Have an e-cred for being a good son.

I have a 20x20 fire pit for brush. I dry stacked river rock to make it a contained pit. It is piled 15 feet deep with limbs, yard waste. Last year I almost burned down the neighbors chicken coop, truck, and tractor as the fire spread to the dormant grass. It hit the fenceline where the fall leaves had blown and gathered. I burned that pit for years without incident. Now I am gun shy. The next snow fall I'll light it.

There's a fire ban in northern Virginia, according to my bro-in-law.

When the FD came I tried to argue contained pit but mine did not meet their specs. But I knew the guys on the FD and they let me slide. I can't imagine the "no burn" thing right now. Snow has been on the ground and we just had 4-5 inches of rain.

I think it's a "month of March" rule.  It's almost always dry and windy.

I never bother to check. I donate enough to the VFD that to fine me would be suicidal.

Hey general I bet you didn't expect to get 5 pages out of a lawnmower did you? lol, RTR!

Hey ssmith, how much grass are you cutting? You were talking about getting a tractor for under 10K - should be very easy to do that. I would spend a little less on the tractor and get a good quality mower - worth th e money. Last year I broke down and bought a Dixie Chopper - best investment I have ever made in a mower. Cut my mowing time in half, and it's fun to ride .

mytractorforum.com is a good place to go to discuss tractors of all types.  I have found it to be very useful when trying to locate a part for my old JD160 lawn mower.

You can buy, sell, or just talk about tractors over there.

I missed this, I got the Snapper LT125 and I am very happy with it so far.

Basically it's almost all metal, where the craftsman has 1 bolt, it has two.  No frills, just a solid machine.  I liked that it was sold by an independent local dealer and made entirely in the USA.  I mowed my entire "mowable" area in about 45 minutes, its odd shaped so hard to say, but probably 1+ acre.  Since then I have been using to haul trees I am cutting down and brush I am clearing.  Mom loves it.  She rides it everywhere on the property.

Here we go again.  My riding mower is old (1991), so I've been watching for an opportunity to repacle it.  Today the opportunity arose.

A lady friend has one for sale.  I bought some of her woodworking tools, a compressor, and nail guns a few months back.  Now she's decided to sell her Snapper Mower.  I don't know the model yet (she said it was a riding mower; nothing else), but it's only 2 years old and now (hubby died) she has a yard service.

Any Snapper owners out there?

Clearly we need a tractor and mower thread.

I just bought a snapper riding lawnmower for my mom a couple of weeks ago.  she loves it so far, and I have ran it pretty hard too.  Mows the front lawn in about 15 minutes.  It's the LT 125.

It doesnt look like that.

The mower thread is in halftime.
