You'd better stay outta the country, soft hands!

it aint that far in the boonies . There are 3 country ass citys with about 12,000 ppl each within 10 miles

I would bet the city you live in dont have 10K ppl

if I need ya to change out a bulb for a turn signal
though I will let ya know.

cutting 4 acres w/o sharp blades..

:scared :scared :scared :scared :scared

going to need sharp blades homeboy..especially on those damp grass days when a 2 or 3 day rain is coming and you know it will be hell to pay to cut after that..

I used an inepensive garage jack for years to lift the zeros..

this year I bought the easy lift..
........................................................................

I bet Jack aint sharpened his blades yet

I almost pulled the trigger on one of those last year. I ended up with a Bad Boy brand mower, same guys that build Bad Boy hunting buggies. It gets the job done and about 1/2 the price of the Scag.

Internet-wise...I live in the country and have Centurylink and it is fkng terrible. I've been exploring my options and they're limited. I've looked at dish internet and they all have daily download limits so wife would go nuts with no netflix. Let me know what you find as far as internet options.

I have Dish Network and I'm about to switch to Direct...enough said
....................................................................

thanks fort

I will check out the bad boy.

I was considering Direct TV with Centurylink so thanks for that bit of ingo.

The neighbors are telling us Direct TV bundled with Windstream highest is the best way to go.

Even AT&T dont go in this area.

I talked to Comcast thought and they stopped providing on a street close to where I will be living.

Not sure how long it will take them to move it along.

She said watch for the comcast trucks stringing the lines on the poles.

thanks alot

I have read alot of reviews on this one

CZT Bad Boy 60" deck with Grammer Seat


I also looked at Snapper and a few others.

this one is about 5 grand I think. Tractor Supply has them.

if you go this way be sure to price it with the 23 horse power engine

you will be putting whatever engine you get to the test..each cut..

4 acres is some serious cutting..especially when the temps zoom to 95+ and the humidity pushes cut heat over 100 degrees..

start thinking about a sun cover at some point..

and you guys might want to wear long sleeve shirts to start out..

ya can get smoked on a mower.

we will do the cutting in sections and not all at once. I get home from work and hop on the mower for a hour.

Husqvarna MZ6128 61...


Ace Hardware sells these and they had a 23 hp 52" cut one today.

I am almost sure I will not get the 61" . Its too wide. I can see it not going over grades and getting caught up trying to go over uneven areas.

I think 52" is good enough.

They had a 2012 for 6299.00 drive out with tax. It was a commercial low end model he said.

I like the orange Skagg color.

I went to AT&T today and they have a wireless unit that you can get and take anywhere for internet service.

it is 50 bucks a month

The catch is there is only 5 g a month and you get charged for going over.

I have no idea how little or much that is .

He asked if I did alot of streaming and movies and we dont.

hate to get in anything but unlimited access

way over priced for a M Series..

Ace or Taylors Do It are not the places to buy a machine of this caliber..

ask me about the ease of the mulching kit for the Husky I listed above..

also the bagger is an easy fit if you find you have to bag in the fall..

talk to Jose at mowers direct this morning..

I got the impression he knows what the hell he is talking about..

only to 1 minute to get him on the phone..

with a 54'' shouldn't take more 2 hours to do the 4 acres..if there aren't a bunch of trees and severe grades...

did not get a mower yet

I got a push mower and have been hitting the high spots about a hour at a time when I can.


we are moving into the new house gradually and have the moving van coming June 5 I think it is. We are taking all the fragile stuff we dont want them handling.

There is a red fox with kits that has a den in back of the shop area by the barn. Watched them play from a window for about 15 min the other morning.

Deer in yard in the mornings is almost surreal.

Its really a slice of heaven.

Trying to work and move this far between houses sucks.
