Waaaay too much grass to cut, rather have 'green side down' and grow veggies, especially with the cost of gas and food going up DAILY ! ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Gotta agree, waaaay too much grass and it's looks like it was already mowed the day before. I cut my grass like I cut my hair. You know when it been done. Why do it if no one notices. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

Wow, and I thought picking corn at 6 MPH was fast?!?!? :-) Hey it is clear he has more money than I will ever have, and if that's how he wants his "yard" to look, it is clear he needs that mower, I couldn't imagine doing it with anything smaller. ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

| A 16' batwing and a 80hp tractor for when it gets too long or a disc mower and a baler when you want to make some money off it! |

| 12 caster wheels zirts, 8 drive shft zirts, 9 blade bearing hubs with zirts. By the time I could get it all regreased up, it would be time to mow again. |

| There's a sod grow about 6 miles from me that uses a 5 deck rig that looks like a dragonfly when folded up. They keep the grass cut but about a week before harvest they put a cut on it so it looks like a golf course. |

| this guy might want to wait a few days or a week before he mows the grass so he can tell where he has mowed. |

When I was a kid we had a neighbor that mowed every other day unless it was raining. They had a comparable yard to this guy size wise. I remember Dad commenting about how he wore out several engines in a 1450 Cub Cadet.

Pull type rotary mower will be more cost effective? They mow the golf course rough with them. ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

Isn't the string just to lock or unlock the decks when you fold them up for transport? |

| Just for the record that tractor is a Deere 4720, Turbo Diesel, 50 PTO HP, not your average garden tractor. |

| Yea, the guys around here with sod farms use orchard model kabota's to pull the mowers. They are little hotrods, 50 and 60hp models with full cabs and A/C. When I worked at the Ford/NH dealership about an hour from home I worked on alot of them cause of the blueberry farms out on the coast. |
