Got New Mower

[oneshot]

Bought our Riding Mower used several years ago and it finally quit. I think Rear end messed up on it.

The old one has 42 inch cut New one has 46 inch cut.

But anyway bought a New Mower.

What did you get, old man?  

Troy-Bilt?  John Deere? Cub Cadet?

Ok I kind of lied it’s a Craftsman but it was a return so they had it marked $1,000. It still is basically New.

Couldn’t pass it up. Guy behind us was wanting it but he was just that short.

I was looking at used ones for around $750 but figured I was buying someone else’s problem.

I'm overdue for a new one.  I want an old school rear engine Snapper.    Those things go anywhere.

Lots of deals on zero-turns, but my property resembles a Motocross course moreso than a golf course.

I’m bad about using one for hauling stuff so it gets used year round. My Son says I need a Side by Side. I’m thinking for the price of a Side by Side get a good little Jeep.

My problem now is the 4 inches. I had places I just barely had room for 42 inch so 46 won’t work so have to use Push Mower.

Forrest Gump style? Just can't beat the cut quality of one 30" blade. 

Ever run one of these? Pretty fun till you turn too fast and it bucks you off, gotta drag a knee like Rossi.

A lot of guys like those Suzuki Samurai/Geo Trackers. Pretty capable and they don't have the Jeep brand premium.

                  I actually have used one! It was in that shape too.

Yes my wife had a Tracker she liked. I drove it once in snow I was very surprised.

At the same time she had a little Ranger Pickup I hated.

I had a CJ5 it was just fun.

We had a suzuki sidekick (prior to that model becoming the Geo Tracker) when we lived in PA and then in FL. Had 4WD and a soft top. Was not top heavy like the samurai and thus not as likley to want to roll. Was able to drive in snow and drove into woods to pick up a couple of shot deer. Had a great heater that quickly heated the car. Had to sell when we moved to N Ireland. Had 185K miles on it and was only on it's second set of tires.
