Riding Lawnmower Thread

The 1320 is the tool. It'll pull a single plow blade and post holes to 36" take about 20 seconds. Plenty of power  for everything I need on the part of the farm that we keep manicured. It'll pull a brush hog up a 25 degree grade without shifting to low.

I am actually going to look at a "80's model kabota (farm tractor), kept dry, 530 hours" for 2500 dollars, should be interesting at least.  

530 hours for a tractor is barely broken in.

Sorry, "less than 500 hours" not sure where I got 530 from.  I know, and its supposedly 20+ years old.  The seller seems to be kind of a dope.  Here is the ebay listing, it's like 5 miles from my house.  I talked to him and he said he would take 2500.  No surprise no one has bid on it since he doesnt have any info in there.  LOL

Watch the obituaries. Every time some "old farmer" dies his widow sells his tractor. I've been kinda pissed at a guy who makes a living off taking advantage of widows, buying their farm equipment.

I would check out a cub cadet, when I was looking to buy I almost bought a Husky, but then saw that it just wasnt what I wanted (no gas pedal, stick on the side that you move) looked at craftsmen and read alot of reviews (around 100), then looked at the cub cadet, bought the cadet and love it, it was also several $100's cheaper as well. I have had it for nearly two years and I have no complaints

From a box or a cub cadet dealer?

I bought mine from the Cutter's Edge in T-town, still saved several hundred dollars,
This is what I bought, 1050SLTX. 50 inch deck, 25hp, metal covers over the spindles (others had plastic) arm rest on a high back seat, front bumper, deck cleanig ports w/adapter paid $2476, tax and all, closeset thing to what I got was craftsmen at $2600+tax.

I went and looked at the snapper and just went with it.  I like the way it is built, no fancy electronics, all metal.  Plus it's a local small business dealer and I believe he will stand behind the product.  Came with a 3 year warranty on everything but belts, blades, and tires.

It's the 44" 24 HP model.  I paid 1800 after a 150 dollar rebate.

I tried a couple of years ago to hire a service.  She hated them.

When my Mom became sessile, and started watching Wheel of Fortune instead of growing vegetables, her health plummeted.  Keep her in the yard working as long as she can.  You'll miss her when she's gone.

That's the thought.  She loves working out there.  She really likes to clear land, so I just try and give her good tools.

I saw about a 12 year old kid mowing the lawn with one of those the other day.  I thought what a perfect punishment.  Lol.

My grandfather had one of those.  We kids dreaded visits during summer, because he'd make us mow the grass with that.  It was a small yard (so was his wallet), but it was a major-league pain to use it.  I hope to never use one again.

You have to keep the blades sharp but they cut great and are good for the lawn. BTW, it's supposed to get to 45 today (now 17 degrees) so I am taking the day off for general outside maintenance (picking up broken limbs, etc.)--- could I rent your Mom for the day?
