What I noticed about new walk-behind mowers

In all seriousness, I bought a used 32" commercial walk behind and put the 20" self propelled out by the curb. The price was right, it starts first pull, every time and it cuts nice. Plenty of power no matter how long the lawn is.

 

Umm of the Porsche... I had a 88 911 turbo, in my YD, days insurance was a killer, I'm sure the tickets had nothing to do with it but I was always

 

Very cool . The retro 911's are big bucks now. 10 years ago they were really cheap, not any more. I have mine under an exotic and classic insurnace-$400 a year. It isn't a turbo though.

 

I feel a bit dirty uploading pictures of a sports car to a firewood forum lol.

 

Saw...weet ride!

 

had one of those a few years ago, a greens mower correct?

 

I drove a Toyota Tercel for several years. Surprisingly comfortable! 4 speed manual with not one single option, but it got 38mpg. It was like driving a go-cart. Bought it for $1300 with 99k, drove it to 220k, then gave it to a friend when my 4runner fell into my lap.

 

I drive a prius most of the time. I don't care what anyone says about it-it is roomy for a small car, gets 50mpg no matter how I drive it and there is plenty of room for car seats, never breaks down, and has a big trunk, 10k oil changes, cheap tires..... Last quarter my gas bill was $160 and I drive a lot. If it doesn't fit in the prius I have a big pickup but I spend most of my time in the toyota.

 

A buddy of mine has a newer Mustang that did a little over 800hp at the rear wheels on a dyno. The car is down right scary fast. He was playing with a newer twin turbo 911 recently and said the Porsche really gave him a run for his money. The mustang was quicker but not by much.

 

What does all these cars HAVE TO DO WITH WALK BEHIND MOWERS?

Al

 

Because it’s not how fast you mow, it’s how well you mow fast!

 

Yeah, we got a bit off track there.

 

I'm debating on whether to fix my Huskee rider or look hard at older used JD models.

 

I've been limping along two riders for a few years now, Every year, I promise myself to get a new one....then every year, I talk myself until waiting until fall clearance sales....then the cycle repeats itself!

 

I purposely got up to 250-260 lbs so the XLT shirts fit me well.

6'4" here. Airplane seats suck. I need to remind myself of that really soon.

Push mower handles are too short, that's true. That's why I don't use one and mow as close as I can with the tractor, then weed whack the rest.

 

I rented a Prius (the regular one, not the c or the v) in 2011 when my wife and I got married in Northern California. We put well over 1000 miles on that car ( may have been 1600 iirc) and we loved it. Very roomy, a place for everything. The mpg was great, and it handled well, even on the twisty hwy 1 and similar local roads.

It wasn't slow like some people think. I just think most people that own these cars drive extra slow.

 

Look at for an older small Kubota or Yanmar tractor with a finish mower or mid mount mower.

 

I couldn't find quite the picture, but this will have to suffice.

I might have to buy a 911 to get the picture I want, because nobody's going to do it otherwise.

There's this too.
