The brush cutter is a 72" Taylor-Way and the finishing mower is a 72" Del Marino rear discharge (Italian). It is a good well built mower and was available from my shortline supplier so the price was right.

We cut about 3 miles of road ditches and a couple of acres of lawn. Spent most of Saturday on all of them at one time or other.

I'd say you both pretty much got mowing anything covered. My bush hog and sickle mower are both green and the bush hog ain't working right now, but my zero turn is Orange. I also subscribe to Roger Welsch's theory of never lining them all up at once in case the better half starts asking how many "we" have. LOL

Calvin has a nice setup to cut the green grass down to size!
I'd like to get a newer Grass hopper than the old one I have, It can't keep pace with the WD45 and 7' mower in the straight aways but gets the old tractor in the corners. LOL

Charlie, I'm right with you brother! I got away with the D17D, (brought it home when she wasn't) until I had to explain where the $$ went.

YA Brian, I bought the G this spring right before our anniversary and she was with me so I had to tell her it was my gift to her. It kinda worked but now she wants to sell it and put the money into the kitchen. Makes no sense to me cause the kitchen has worked OK for the last 27 years. I figure it don't need an overhaul cause it still works.

Morley, Norm James the former A-C dealer in Uxbridge hooked me up with this D-12 III that was owned by a friend of his. Norm is gone now but I'm sure he would have sold it new. It was repainted before I got it but the other tractors are originials.
