    And one more day

    And despite it all you are still blessed. We all are. No matter what goes wrong in a day, I try to always go about life with a sense of gratitude, because I am consciously aware that at any moment there are millions of people in the world who would trade places with me in a heart beat. Some...

    Found an interesting site that sells seeds

    Hoss has been around for a while I think. Where I remember them over the years is in their little hoss garden seeder. I dont know if they are the first one to do a little push behind seeder like that, with the little seed discs, but Ive seen them for as long as I can remember. Hoss Is definitely...

    New Zero Turn Mower

    That actually looks better than the regular installation lol. You kept the original airbox hood I see, so you had to drill a hole in it. Is there a reason you decided to keep the hood in place, or just aesthetics? It looks good though, well done

    New Zero Turn Mower

    Well after not hearing from the dealer on my seat for 2 weeks I finally called them. Of course it had been delivered days ago and they just hadn't called me. This has been a real beef with this dealership. They have dropped the ball on all the little stuff (returning calls, following up on...

    New Zero Turn Mower

    You could just go full redneck on it. get a new piece of hose to match the length, but then just zip tie the canister to your engine roll over bar :ROFLMAO: No dont do that. It would look so janky, but the engine wouldnt know; it would work just fine lol. In all seriousness I think you could...

    New Zero Turn Mower

    Ah that sucks. you could probably modify the bracket somehow to make it work I would think. All you need is some way to secure the canister to the engine. Ive seen mowers with this bar over the engine and have never liked it personally. It just seems to serve no purpose.

    Tractor PTO Shaft - Hard to turn - is that normal?

    I used my rototiller the other day and as I was hooking it up I remembered this thread and so I reached up to see just how easy my pto turns by hand on my L2501. Mine is SUPER easy to turn. I can turn it with just 2 fingers easily. Reading here some folks say it is pretty hard to turn. I wonder...

    Price when you were born.

    The lowest I personally remember seeing as a boy was .77/gallon. I was 12 years old when I remember noting that. I don't know why that random memory stuck with me. I also remember It was at a fast trac gas station when I lived in North Georgia. That would have been in roughly 1993.

    New Zero Turn Mower

    One interesting thing I have noted on the gravely is that the transaxle fans are a little more exposed under the seat than my old mower. If any debris got flipped up and got behind the seat it could easily fall down and get into the belt I think, depending on how the debris fell. My Husqvarna...

    New Zero Turn Mower

    Well I just had a really frustrating weekend with my first mowing on the new mower. At 2.8 hours on the hour meter the drive belt came off as I was mowing grass. For clarity this is the belt that drives the two zt3100 transaxles. It just came off - for no apparent reason. I crawled under the...

    60” tiller on LX2610

    This sounds like overkill, and im not sure what waiting 2 days between each step is all about. I see no benefit in a 2 day wait. It depends entirely on the soil wether other measures need to be taken. Where I live I can drop my 60" tiller on grassed lawn, never tilled, and have a powder garden...

    60” tiller on LX2610

    I run a 60" rototiller on my L2501 without any issue at all. I am in florida though with fairly sandy soil though, so it hardly breaks a sweat. I don't think you will have any issue.

    New Zero Turn Mower

    Grasshoper is very popular here in the south east. It was actually the mower I was looking to get 2-3 years ago. Then prices increased a lot, and the grasshoper that was 8,000 is now over 10,000. I just have no need or desire to spend over 10,000 on a lawn mower for my property. My yard is...

    New Zero Turn Mower

    There is a nice guy that runs a website and he sales upgrade kits for all the Kawasaki engines. Its basically the factory canister from Kawasaki with Donaldson filters (both inner and outter filter is included), and he fabricates the brackets then sales the whole thing in a package. He makes...

    Bacon!

    I may be in the minority here but I actually prefer thin, crispy bacon. I like when it just kinda crumbles. Some of the thicker stuff is often like eating beef jerky or it will be cooked so its so hard it will about chip my teeth. Ive just never enjoyed thick bacon as well as well cooked thin...

    New Zero Turn Mower

    Nice looking mower. Did you add the lights? Do you know which transaxles this one runs? I know the Cheetah II runs the hydro gear zt 5400 transaxle which can run up to 16mph, which is kinda wild. The only problem is the mower is $16,000. I wanted to keep the price down under $9000, but wanted...

    New Zero Turn Mower

    I hear you anomad. My old mower was a residential grade husqvarna zero turn. It had a weak 13 gauge stamped deck, low end transaxles, kohler engine. 3 Years ago the deck completely seperated from the mower. The welds had started to crack and it eventually just seperated. I had to dissassemble...

    New Zero Turn Mower

    on my old zero turn which was just 46" it was about 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes. Its not just a straight wide open 4 acres. Its broken up into different parts, and I have a lot of tree's and obstacles to go around. If it was just a wide open 4 acre yard It would be much faster, just zip back...
