I think the dealer is trying to up sell you. I have a BX2680 with 48" blower and a JD X739 with a 47" blower. I believe that what you will find is that the BX1880 is that in heaver snow it will be a little slower due to power issues. Getting stuck is a personal problem. When the snow is cleared...

How about the 70s. Sold this one when I bought my first house in 1978.

yep the 80s and the 90s Just some fun

Ya shouldn't talk about my relatives here. When we were kids the neighbor kids called my cousin Al "Magilla". If you saw his baby pictures you would understand why.

Good advice here. I do have a contractors policy in effect already and an inland marine policy as part of it. Just trying to figure an appropriate rate. Just looking at something to do when retirement hits in the near future. I have stayed away from snow removal as I was doing some part time...

I am considering doing some snow removal. I have been out of the game for 30+ years due to other work. Things have changed a bit and now I can find the time to do some. My question is how to charge. In the past I charged per time. I am using a BX2680 with 48" front blower. Any guidance would be...

Inland marine policy from State Farm. Maybe need a different agent and or underwriter. My inland marine just uses a dollar amount. On my farm policy each piece is listed separately. Homeowner policy, farm policy, contractor liablilty policy, inland marine policy, all individual policies.

Sorry, guess again The ones I have are hydraulic operated with safety catches every so often. I figure that they were discontinued due to lack of sales as the price is kinda high. Better picture here

Mama said you can't pole dance every day as you will get calluses.

Not on the HF website I looked at

All of it

I have used a hi-lift jack on my Exmark for years without a problem. I decided that I might be pushing my luck so I purchased a Kubota accessory that is no longer available. I had one at the farm and figured my life was worth the price of another one. I scrape my decks every time I mow. I have...

After further investigation I have learned that some decks actually use bearings that are not sealed and will let grease in. The professional decks by John Deere are this way. 60 inch 7 iron and high capacity in particular. Think Z900 series and X739. You can actually by parts to rebuild the...

aka sex in a canoe beer

Oh yea I mow at 2.5 to 3 inches so my grass survives dry spells and thrives to choke out weeds. The best weed control is a thick turf. The grease thing makes me chuckle. Exmark does not have grease zerks on the blade spindles. Only 20 years old. I bought a new Snapper rear engine rider 35 - 40...
