Good morning. It's sunny and 58.
i am loading up my new tractor and taking it in for repair today. The automatic transmission started making noises lik a dog with tin cans tied to its tail.
I'm about to give up on lawn mowers.
JD40 wonderful tractor, runs great, does anything I ask, but too damn big. Was a good idea when I was mowing 3 acres a week and plowing a 225 ft long driveway. But now its a half acre and a 75 ft drive. Besides, it takes up 1 whole bay in the garage, too big for the shed.
JD R72 Rear engined 30 inch rider, looks like something Forest Gump would drive. But, it turns on a dime, and can fit anywhere, but because of its size, takes 2 hours to cut the lawn.
then there's the Cub, aka the Cub Crapette. If ever there was a such thing as a yellow turd, this is it. Goes though parts like my teenage son goes though Pizza!
Its been to 2 dealers, and many hours of my own, and I can cut the yard better with a Scythe. Its ONLY saving grace, the hydrostatic trans that the wife and son can handle!
Seriously, whats cheaper, a fence and some goats? Or a lawn service?
