Tru,
Good to see that you are up and about so early. Il ooked at one of Sear's garden tractors last year but not enough power. Just had a 25 horse motor. When I told the salesman I wanted at least 150 horse he looked at me like I was out of my mind. But with the right gearing, I should be able to top 100 MPH with that much power.

Got three tractors, none have 100 HP.
Those tractors are huge. I am talking John Deer, 1000 acres work all day in the field type tractor. The ones that need a set of steps to the cab.
Ron, Just how much mowing do you want to do?
My Kabota has a 6 foot deck and it cuts fine and fast. I think we mow 4 acres with two tractors and clear with the International.
If you are working on getting a tractor, a Kabota in the 30 HP range will do you fine. A JD 770 is also very nice, but at $21,000, it a bit pricey.
So what are you cutting down??

Tru,
I only have about 1/2 acre to mow and I was just joking about the horsepower. When I was young, I think I was at one time, we used FarmAlls and Ford tractors and I mowed hundreds of acres with them. Actually for mowing hay, I really liked the smaller FarmAll better as I could run it all day in 3rd gear wide open and really get a lot done. And only having a 6' cycle, I could go places with it that the larger ones with longer cycles couldn't. Then when I was working on a ranch in New York, the guy had one of those huge tricycle type Farmalls that was scary at much speed. Huge rear tires that were above my head and the darn thing would turn up and over backwards in a heart beat. I once dumped almost 350 bales of hay on the highway with that beast.
The horsepower I was talking about wanting was so I could enter the lawnmower races. Always remember the Home Improvement show with Tim Allen when he souped up their riding lawn mower. I loved that show. It was my growing up on film.

Obviously transplants from the Calif. Weather people. I have heard them giving forecasts of sunny and nice and it was pouring rain while they were reading the forecast. One guy even said he could look out the studio window and see 2 inches of water running down the street but they have to read what they are given regardless. We are supposed to have more rain this weekend but will just wait and see.

Well our predicted rain never arrived. It is sunny and a little windy but a nice day otherwise. Temperature is around 62 now but should get higher later on in the day.
Mike, the weather is just preparing you for a very late Spring.

Yea Ron, wouldn't that be nice. I have been watching it off and on myself. When I am not watching it I can "hear" them running from my house. I can tell when they are running at full speed and when they are under caution. I live about 3 to 4 miles from the speedway. Temp. here is 53 at the time.

I think Kristens kids and no "Pepe" in the garage are getting to her
BTW--She didn't happen to name her Cobra after a certain "mule" from the movie "Romancing The Stone" did she? |
