What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Ruined perfect day by mowing lawn

 

Lol

The lawn was pretty tall, and it's supposed to rain today through like Wednesday or Thursday. So I had to.
We had a nice fire on the fire pit on the patio until midnight after the wasted time mowing

I think I'm about to pull the trigger on the new zero turn.

 

I just need to determine which one. Gravely ZT XL, cub cadet zt2, or hustler predator xd are what i'm looking at. these all have the serviceable hydros

 

I just priced out an Exmark lazer z 72 inch. That might either be downgraded to a Radius 60 or wait until next year. Although the Radius is in stock the Lazer is special order 6 months out right now.

 

Life’s and summer is too short to spend excess time mowing grass

 

Had all intentions of splitting some wood this morning. The sun is beating down on the processing area time to switch gears.

also noticed the town musta had some extra money and painted some stripes on the road.

 

availability with production issues might make my options limited.

 

Boy...I'm a Hustler fan (own one and also have one at work) but the Gravely looks good too, until you read the reviews! (too many 1's in there for my taste!) so I dunno, might come down to which local dealer you like better...

 

I read the reviews, and IDK, sounds kind of like operator error, stupidity sort of thing. The hustler is very nice looking, and has a lot of nice features, that air flow seat is a good idea especially after a night of eating beans lol. but it really is a good idea; butt sweat is real.

I started a thread on ZTR shopping
Zero turn shopping

 

Raptor XD? I don't see the PXD on the current model offerings...and can't find the air flow seat you referred too...

 

I have a few dealers selling Gravely, Red Iron (Exmark/Toro) outsell 6:1. Ariens is a good brand of snowblower but the riders are rebadged Gravely as they are the same company. Many dealers that carry Ariens refuse Gravely because of too many issues with them. One only sells to home owners and nobody mowing commercially.

 

They have tons of machines ready to ship minus the seat. So far shortages haven’t hit this country industry too bad yet other than the seats, they just can’t produce enough units fast enough to fill orders.

 

That’s a very Maine series of photos. Love it.

 

4pm yesterday my Montana cuz had 3 furry visitors
yes they are griz

 

Hustler Raptor® XD | Residential Zero-Turn Mower

 

could be in better shape, could be worse. Fabric wasn't torn but old enough that it tore easily when i started taking it apart. 2 sections of the sofa seemed to be separating, probably a simple fix but I never tried. Full of sawdust too. Would have been as much, if not more work getting it out the door in one piece and getting it down my nearly 400' driveway. Afraid I'd damage my door too. Plus, I'd rather not take the chance if no one did take it. I can't stand junk lying around.

it was just in my way, collecting sawdust and full of random stuff, a lot of it junk which I also disposed of. Doesn't suit the house anyway. Now I have more room to work. Eventually, I'll be building my own furniture

2 trips, but one I also had a big bin of roofing garbage

 

Finally got my truck back yesterday...my buddy took it to paint the hood and the roof (it is a '03 and spent the first 13 years of its life in Florida getting the paint on the horizontal surfaces fried) back before Thanksgiving...there was some miscommunication and he started tearing the whole truck apart for a full re-paint...we discussed it and he ended up talked me into doing it all...it was supposed to take less than month, but went over 5 months! Yes I was having withdrawal symptoms!
Anyways, here she is...not bad for a 18, almost 19 YO truck, huh?! Only the blue was re-painted BTW...
(not the best pics...kinda hard to get great pics of a shiny object on a sunny day!)






There was a big dent on the RR corner looked like the PO backed into/sideswiped a fence or something...there was a crease in the metal right on the stamped part of the wheel well lip right there where the blue meets the tan...I didn't think that could be pulled out, but they did it...I looked in behind and the metal is pretty smooth...there is VERY little bondo in the repair!
