    Is the YardMax hard on the grass? Wish I could run into one, cheap.

    No, Not at all!!! I understand the "wheeled ones" are and can rip the grass as they turn but this has the tracks as you can see. I LOVE it!!! :tears: It takes some getting used to and you need to learn the braking system for turning but now that I have it, I wish I'd have got one 10 years ago! :cool::yes: It's a HUGE back saver. If you want some pics of the grass after some running, I'll be glad to provide some:). My other suggestion to you is, Yes , they are pricey but you won't regret getting one. I ordered mine through Home Depot.

    Gotta watch HD, if it is something that they stock, they will sometimes have a real blowout sale...although that may be more so on seasonal items, which these may not be "seasonal"?

    Surely, this is in violation of some local ordinance, eh?

    If you notice, I have cones around me every time I do this! Not to mention, they think my street is a 50mph zone :mad: It's a 25mph residential neighborhood.

    Well the pile is all moved into the yard. The Girls will stack in the next couple days. This heat was incredible moving this load. Thank GOD for the Yardmax buggy! If I were a betting man I'd say we got a good 2 cord from this batch. :yes: I got 2/3rds of an IBC cage of Uglies. Regardless, it's all Oak. :tears: I'm shot for another week now... :pain:

    My wood isn't always perfect splits, cut's or lengths. The Girls do the stacking so I credit them, they do MUCH better than I! :whistle: The last time I stacked, the pile fell down and I said some bad words, then went and drank a Beer and looked at it for an hour! :drunk:
    They are much more patient at it then I am. There is a wood shed on the other side of the yard, those girls made it look picture perfect! :yes::cool:

    OMG, the chismis on Facebook would be accusing someone/anyone for animal abuse no leash on that dog. And God forbid there be willful manslaughter of a bicyclist with anything intentionally left in the bicycle lane.
    If one of them complained to the police they'd come out and beg ya to move it within a reasonable amount of time so the Karens stop calling them.

    A) I don't do facebook and could care less about it, B) That Border Collie will only do what I tell her to do, will not leave the yard or my sight! C) She has a license and is up to date on all her shots, and D) There is NO bicycle lane on my street. E) I don't give a FV__CK what anyone thinks or has to say. If you care to cross paths with me on my own property, you WON'T like the outcome... ;) So, bring on the Karens, one has already got a taste of the wrath! :whistle::fart::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    I seen someone selling a tracked snowblower pretty cheap today...made me think that one of those with the snowblower removed and a wheelbarrow attached somehow might could make a decent "poor mans trackbarrow"!

    Before I bought mine, I had an old snow blower and was thinking of something on this order...
