Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default Lowes called me and said my tractor was in

I drove to pick it up, and it was still in the crate. They apologized and said the assembler wouldn't be in until Monday. So I said that I'd assemble it.

They gave me a $10.00 coupon for assembling myself and loaded it onto my trailer with a forklift.

I have an engine guard and a mulching kit ordered. They should be here in a couple of days.

I brought it home and went to work. It took me longer to pry the crate apart than it did to assemble it.

I got my biggest walk-behind (52") in the crate. Paid 2/3 the price of the Velke rider to assemble the handlebars. $200 of a $300 accessory back then. It was a good deal.

I would just as soon assemble it myself and know the bolts are tightened properly.

The Hustler mower is made in the US, and so is the Kawasaki motor.

No RTO. No way. That rig has to do the speed limit plus? Red attracts radar guns like a magnet.

All of them have a beer holder now Railbuggy. I think the DOT mandated that?

I added an hourmeter. I had already bought it in advance. Hustler wanted $55.00 for an hourmeter. I bought this one from Amazon. It is a replacement meter for Husqvarna and Poulan. Cost me $18.00 and it snapped into the cutout perfectly. And the leads on the tractor plugged right into my new hourmeter.

We do get that quite often. Tomorrow is 82 degrees and showers. And Monday is 77 and thunderstorms. Tuesday is 78 and thunderstorms.

We get three dry days and then next Saturday is back to showers.

I just mowed yesterday with my old tractor. I'll probably be using my new one on Wednesday, and the grass will be quite tall.

I have thought about a zero radius turn mower...but so.. far my Cub Lowboy with the 60" IR, finish deck is giving me good service. Wish I had got it with the IHC. 'Quick Hitch' on it instead of taking it off ass part of the deal at purchase. The attachments like a plow, discs, etc would have come in handy for putting in a Victory Garden. When I purchased it...I figured mowing was all it was going to be used for. Neighbor across street has a ) radius mower and he zips around pretty quick and is done in no-time. Hell, I do some of my better cogitating... while mowing... so time is not a big deal.
