    I need to mow a friends property East of town so I reserved a riding mower from the local rental place. 17 acres total but I just need to mow the area (1/4 acre) near the house.

    I hate the fact I have to ask for help picking up the mower with a trailer because I'm still out of town but that's the only way I could do it this weekend. If its picked up after 3pm today and returned by 8am Monday its a one day rental. :)

    This will also allow me to mow at the shop, pics to follow.

    That's some brown grass! I honestly can't wait to get out there and start mowing. But we still have about 2 feet of snow that needs to melt! Still cold here, i need spring!
    Oh yeah, nice job on the mowing! :thumbs:
