Out today for the first time. The old man can still handle it.

Jealous.....we’ve still got dead grass, rocks from plowing and some snow left on our lawns...

Forecasting 6” to 12” for Friday....nice...

I did my first feed n cut Sunday. Everything started on 2 pulls except the ‘70’s little wonder edger. That old B&S needed about 5 pulls.

This is how a "REAL MAN" mows a field.

Just think of the exercise you get using that thing.

TFucili, I agree!!! The pic was at my Father in laws Estate after he died at 90. He never owned a brush cutter only a Scythe. He used it on fence lines and ditches.

Can we get Trump’s head on that man?

 

[Cummins12V98]

Well this will have to do.

 

[BSeyler]

You guys are going to a lot of work!

It’s a shame that Case/ Ingersoll are not still building tractors the 4000 series would have been a good fit for you

It’s hard to believe you’ve got green grass. We’re not as bad off as Mike but I haven’t even thought about the ton of lime or the required fertilizer for our yard yet.

I have been mowing my lawn for 3 weeks

We have had an unusually warm winter and early spring. Everyone here has cut at least once.

Not bad. In the late 80s, early 90s a 318 garden tractor was pushing $6K, IIRC.

Nice restored 318 here:

Dang! Look at the gear box in this old Cub Cadet. I would guess a '70's model, it has the belt drive starter/generator combo.
