    Well, It was a fun project .... I got her cleaned up nice and running great. After successfully tearing up my lawn I decided to give her a new home. :ROFLMAO: After all said and done I doubled my money so all is good.

    Not sure about the leak. But was wondering how you like the machine otherwise... did you get the bagger system also? Kohler or Kawasaki engine?

    Kind of a serious question for my friends in the GWN or any one that knows

    If you are talking about Canada.... They are wrong. USA citizens do NOT need a Visa to enter Canada. Just an up to date passport. This is good for a MAXIMUM stay of 6 months.

    Attachment Hydraulic Hose Pressure Relief

    Grass rows, are very annoying how to avoid? Using the MMM.

    I feel your pain.... no easy solution. the Bota bagger system seems like it works great BUT it's pretty expensive for what it is.... and a bit cumbersome... I have a BX23s so I would have to (I think) remove the BH mounts and install a 3pt hitch.... Big pain in the Arse.... I like...

    Firewood Moisture Meter

    I agree, that's what I do. (or try) I like to be ahead 1 season.... I always order more (tree length) logs than I need.... I cut them in halves and stack them ..... until I see what I need for the next winter... they are ... maybe 70% dry... by the time I buck them up and split them...

    OK one more bytch!

    First of all, I don't believe a word of your story. Sounds highly exaggerated to me. Secondly, If you were unhappy with the service, Talk to the manager. but it seems pretty obvious you need a new phone..... or a roll of Duct tape. :ROFLMAO::LOL:
