Those riding mowers are fine but I mow 5.2 miles each time (52" deck) with many trees and gardens to work around. I just upgraded from a Gravely XL52 to a HD52. Large tires and a wide track make even my side hills a breeze. It was a lot of money but it saves me a bundle of weedwhacking time and stripes nicely . Worth every penny.

Rural folks don’t want citiots around either

No butt-hurt at all. You are a sad, weak liberal man. Now, your “valid suggestion” wasn’t valid at all. Did you bother to read the requirements? You think a man looking to buy a riding more might bing that a little robot mower would get the job done? Then, aftera slight rub all of us would have taken for such an idiotic suggestion.....YOU WENT OFF! Just like your idiot Tool Kit buddy always has. Nobody is going to push you around on the internet....so, there your went, attacking wives. I’m surprised you didn’t start calling people pedophiles again. It all works out well for you, eh? Let’s face it, like Tools, you come here to try and cause problems. It’s your way of “winning” against a real world that has shut your kind of people out of it for lack of any real beneficial substance. In short, get fucked you pathetic, bitter little man. Get fucked by your cutesy robo-mower while waxing your kayak.

Damn thing just took 100$ and it's still thirsty!!

8. Cutting your lawn using a real mower. Instead. Consider using a robo mower. That way you and your gay friends have more time to enjoy each other.

I find that a real man would be able to do the man thing......and the instead

So much work and not enough days in the week. Thanks trump. Filling 30 yarders all day. We have to get that chiller running buy Friday,so we can get a big pay out. Maybe working all weekend?

There is zero threat from Iran. Iran doesn't want a war with the US and they know that we are antagonizing them to flinch.

It’s not a bumper! It’s a bro muncher! He’s got to line strips of Velcro on the sides of the hood for the ones that jump out of the way!!!

Mean Republican hurt your feelings?

I just picked up this x354 JD. Love the 4 wheel steering...almost like a zero steer.

F1 eyes may have opened after Alonso’s Indy 500 flop INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Alexander Rossi had no idea what he was getting into when he moved from Formula One to IndyCar. Turning left the whole race? Looks easy. But as Rossi soon found out — and as two-time world champion Fernando Alonso and his McLaren team learned in failing to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 last weekend — getting around Indianapolis Motor Speedway at speeds eclipsing 230 mph is a lot tougher than it looks. “I didn’t understand what oval racing was. I didn’t understand what IndyCar racing was, because there is no exposure to it in Europe,” said Rossi, an American who moved to Europe as a teenager and made his F1 dreams come true with seven starts during the 2014 and ’15 seasons. “So when guys haven’t been a part of it,” Rossi said, “they don’t understand how difficult it is, how unique it is to everything they’ve done. On TV, let’s be honest, it doesn’t look that challenging, so being a European driver, in your mind you’re at the pinnacle of the sport. You think, ‘Of course I can go over there and do that and it wouldn’t be a problem.’” That inherent arrogance was underscored two years ago, when Alonso showed up at the Indy 500 for the first time. He ran near the front all race, only for his Honda engine to let him down. Naturally, many F1 drivers were quick to pounce on their rival open-wheel series, claiming it must not be too difficult to win in IndyCar if Alonso could be competitive right out of the gate. “I looked at the times and, frankly, for his first-ever qualifying for Fernando to be fifth — what does that say about Indy?” five-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton mused to L’Equipe shortly afterward. “A great driver,” he said, “if he cannot win in Formula 1, will look for other races to win.” In other words, Hamilton was calling IndyCar second-rate. That’s part of why so many eyebrows jumped at McLaren’s spectacular disappointment. “Fernando may have done well in 2017, so there may have been a feeling like all he has to do is show up and take it over,” said Mark Miles, the chairman of Hulman & Co., which owns Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “I think this causes that sense of, ‘Hey, this is harder than we thought.’” The team that bumped the well-funded, England-based team with the rich racing heritage from this year’s field? None other than Juncos Racing, the tiny team founded by Argentina-born Ricardo Juncos and to this day run on such a shoestring budget that it was still signing up sponsors on Wednesday . The moment Kyle Kaiser put their car in the field last Sunday was the moment McLaren’s world collapsed, leading to the firing of Bob Fernley, who headed its IndyCar operation. “We got it wrong,” the team’s boss, Zak Brown, said Thursday ahead of this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix, the showcase race on the F1 calendar. “There are little stories behind each of those individual issues and how they transpired, but you know, we didn’t execute and therefore we didn’t qualify for the Indy 500.” In doing so, they showed just how difficult it is to win the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” and perhaps earned IndyCar drivers a certain measure of respect from their F1 counterparts. “You’ve got to be a good driver, but setup and all those things at those margins is so important,” said F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo, who has never driven an Indy car or raced on an oval. “I don’t know the ins and outs, but everything needs to work right and that’s the thing with race cars. It’s a love-hate relationship. Obviously, this year for (Alonso) was more of a hate one. “It’s sad to see,” Ricciardo added. “Obviously as part of the F1 family, we want him to do well.” One of the reasons the Indy 500 is so difficult is it tests the machines — and how they are tuned — just as much as the drivers. Manufacturers such as Mercedes and Ferrari can pump $300 million into their teams and essentially buy the crucial tenths of a second they need to win races, but IndyCar teams work with a relatively stock setup that puts the onus on crew and driver. “A big team like McLaren, and you see a small team like Juncos, it just shows this competition, it’s not easy no matter who you are,” three-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves said. “It is one of the toughest places on Earth to get in, and you’ve seen big teams like Penske have failed.” Rossi has so far bucked the trend, winning the 100th running of the Indy 500 in his 2016 debut. He was second the following year and fourth last year, each time benefiting from the experience, equipment and resources that his Andretti Autosport team has poured into its efforts over the years. “Fernando is a world champion. You expect him to do a good job,” Rossi said. “But at Indianapolis, to find speed, it’s experience, kind of the tricks of the trade that money can’t buy, and I think that gets lost on a lot of people, and I think that was on full display this past week.”

A real man does whatever the fuck he wants without any regard for what other people might think. Fight, fix your car and wear a pink dress. Whatever.

Spent a few hours in the Finger Lakes National Forest today.

Why do you even speak when you sound like such a total fucking ass hat? Like seriously, nothing of any coherence has ever come from you..

Witchhunts are what we have been witnessing for the last two years. In the next couple of months I am hoping we are going to see what is called justice.

we require pilots to retire at 65 because they may kill a few hundred people, the politicians and judges are capable of killing thousands and yet somehow we let them hang on forever SMH

Damn good news. https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2019/05/5-michigan-priests-charged-with-21-counts-of-criminal-sexual-abuse.html

true who the fuck wants beer out of a can ? i never buy cans . the cost really? the professionals I know are not stoping buying beer for a buck or 5 . and guys like me who buy more for just having it around the house if you want one with a burger or a hot day and for guests could give 2 fucks less what it cost because it just makes zero diff . I have bought way way more beer from a brewer in my town than Michelob in the last few yrs .why not keep it local and have some flavor to boot

Saudi Arabia ? I agree

My old poulan is hydrostatic but hand lever. I love it . Hydrostatic ftw

I think bitter snacks watched one to many episodes of the A Team?He is a craby painter.

@Woodtick Send me a usage bill for that gem.

The man you coulda been! Instead:

Yeah. I remember there was a bit of a learning curve. God damn I beat the hell out of mine. I really didn't understand how bad off my acreage was i was trying to mow. I needed a seat belt!

I just need to remember to engage the reverse mow option when I start it so I don't keep killing the motor

Yeah...that foot pedal was a stroke of genius for sure. Game changer. Mine didn't come with a cup holder though so..that was a fail.

OK, I've had a little time to play with the new mower and I'm very impressed. Compared to the older used riders that I've had this thing is like a Caddy. I love the foot pedal hydrostatic drive. So much easier to speed up and slow down compared to the old gear tranys that I've had. I was also amazed at how tight the turning radius is for such a big mower. That is a huge improvement over my older mowers. I think this mower will do everything I need and last me many years. Thanks for all of the input guys

Planted some of mine this afternoon. Few diff tomatoes, zhucinni, summer squash, peppers and cukes

yes well when the rugs pulled out from under you it's tough, i actually made bank the following year and then their were 4 shitty years before rebounding. Still have issues spending money because now it's from savings not free cash flow. same boat as mine i got the model designation wrong. i liked the boat but the top funneled the rainwater into the trash barrel under the sink console.

We missed the flooding here. Had a decent spring but nothing epic. They actually closed the Ottawa river to all boat traffic. The ban is still in effect now. In my 30 years of boating that has never happened before. It is at record levels but I think they are being pussies. Marc Garneau is transport minister and was a fucking Astronaut. He should be able to assess risk a little better than that. Right now it's pissing rain, our local runs rarely go off when it is warm so I'm hoping for some warm weather shenanigans tomorrow.

Fuck their authority. It's illegitimate and unjustified.

MI A.G. nessel is doing a good job so far. imo

I'm going to be smoking all sorts of meats,..and prolly some other things..hahah 2 racks of beef ribs, 1 rack of pork ribs, and about 36 wings..

No kidding....man he was one helluva talented driver.

The rivers were running pretty good around here a week ago. I'm sure the creek boaters were out in force running things while they could. Bad

Holy shit! Me too! I don’t know why but I kind of picture him as the angry old man in that Doritos time machine commercial. “Spinner, you’re so old.”

Bumpers on a mower ? How bad of a driver are you?

Kind of surprised Austin Dillon is running the Xfinity Race in this heat considering he has to run 600 miles tomorrow.

I picked up a NIB Gen 4 Glock G22 40 cal to keep in the motorhome last week. It came with the 9mm conversion barrel and 6 mags, 3 of each caliber. Came with a cool belt holster and clip holster. Paid $500 for the works including 6 boxes of ammo. Picked it up at a gun show outside of San Antonio. The Glock 22 seems to be a decent gun for the price. I will put some rounds through it some dY soon.

Micheal Schumacher said he was afraid to race at Indy.

Thanks for being the first straight male to post in this thread. That’s exactly what I thought. Also, why aren’t her swordfish tittays out?

Maybe the box store specials, but I have an x730 and its built like a tank. Last tractor Ill ever need. Get something with pressurized oil circulation so the motor doesnt lose lubrication on the hills. I would rather buy a used higher grade mower than a new piece of shit mower.

in the basic lawn shit are they all not more or less the same mtd with a diff hood and paint ?
