Hi there, with my new place having a large area to mow, I had to get myself a ride on mower and today I did.

My son in law checked it out, gave it the ok and now she's mine.

Here's Dave and two of my grandkids Bailey and Matthew (face puller) in the trailer that comes with it.

Show us yours if you have one.

Mine is red too, but not as flash... lol. I love mine though, as I can cut gamba & mission grass as long as it is not taller than me... lol. I haven't got a photo with me on it, unfortunately....

Regards, Ari :)

I've had a couple, both gone now. The first one was bought used as a "toy" while a teenager since the blade drive didn't work. I got it running and my brother mastered the art of doing a slow wheelie up the street with a friend hanging on the back. I gave up on it when the chassis was bent so bad I couldn't shorten the drive chain anymore....

Bought another used one for here when I bought this place, used it maybe 10 + times then sold it to a friend with a bigger lot. He still uses it.

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Nice Wal, they are a big time saver.

Here's mine with the my Wife at the helm. We tag-team the lawn and can knock it out in 20min with me on the edger/weedeater/blower.

Freaky,

Two questiones:

Why don't you mulch instead of catching the cuttings?

Have you tried to tow a trailer or fert spreader with that ZTR type mower?

Geraldo

So many species,

so little time.

I could probably start now that my kids are older and don't play on the grass much, but initially, it was because the clippings were constantly being tracked inside by the kids and dogs. I think I'll give it a try again this year.

I have not tried the fert spreader but would love to get one, that and an aerator.
