I want a riding mower, dont feel like pushing anymore

My current tractor, when I mow with it I use a 72" deck. I wanted an 84" deck but nobody close had them in stock when I was shopping and didn't want to wait 6 to 8 weeks (1/2 of the summer!) to get the extra 12" of width. Photo makes it look smaller than it is, the rear tires weigh about 1400 to 1500 pounds, each. The front bucket installed on there is 78", but usually I use a 62" bucket for digging because we have such hard clay that its hard to force a big bucket into the ground.



This is what I was using in the front yard, the bucket comes off and a 54" front mount deck sits on that machine. Great machine, its able to mow across steep slopes. 4 wheel hydraulic drive system with a frame that articulates and oscillates. Highly recommended!!! Best mower I've ever tried.

Going out to mow the front lawn. Not a big fan of cutting the grass. With all the scientific advances in the world, why haven't they perfected a low maintainence lawn?

i hear jedi's "cousins" work cheap

Better view, the car adjacent to the tractor gives it some scale:

Bob did you see my post? I have 15-20 hostas and your welcome to all of them

$65 for the whole lot seem fair? How do I get them? Can you bring them to the cigar lounge one day?

Not looking for a low maintainence lawn CREW, I'm looking for a low maintainence lawn!!!

Those look like great mowers now if only I had fat stacks like you.

Need to get a lawn mower here soon. Or find a way to start bribing neighbors into cutting my grass for free. Hmm, wonder how that will work out?

How big is your yard?

Bob's pics aren't showing up on my kindle, but I am certain I want one of his mowers. Maybe both. Also, for good measure, .

First ever NWI INGO Meet & Mow!

LOL.
I like mine better. Looks like it is a little smaller, but it has A/C, Heat, and keeps the bugs and dirt off of me.

Of course it is only for the pastures. I have a lowly John Deere x320 with a 48" deck for the actual lawn.

Did you google the pump for sale? I find multiple sites that sell that pump.

Yes Amazon has it for ~550 but that is MINUS the battery. Batteries depending on type range from $300 to $400 so again the equipmet is around $800 to $900 or $100 to $150 more than the 1st plumber.

In doing some more reading just need to find out how they plan on doing it. Adidng a 2nd line or using a T connect to the first line. I'm likey the more expensive pump for the added features it has.

Oh snap! But we don't want USD anymore just Chinesse currency or gold/silver.

In non-geek terms what is the performance difference between ... 6GB vs. 8GB vs. 16GB of RAM (aka "system memory?) ?? Will the bigger number make the sun shine and my life better?

Same question for processor speed .... 1.70 GHz vs. 3.40 Ghz ???

More memory will help you if you have a lot of programs running at the same time.

Faster processor is going to help you if your programs have to do a lot of calculations.

If you use your computer mainly to browse the Internet and some basic word processing, neither is going to do you a great deal more good.

Probably close to the same size. I thought about a cab but honestly I don't do "real farming" as a "real farmer" does that stuff out back. Mine is for maintaining the property. I had a New Holland, honestly consider that to be the best of the CUT tractors on the market. Better ergonomics than Deere, Kubota, Kioti, Mahindra, etc. They have a great power to weight ratio, not too much weight to rut the yard, but enough to do some ground engaging work. The problem with the New Hollands is they are just so darned expensive. I traded in my small New Holland after years of beating it up and got the Bobcat (upgraded Kioti clone with white paint and better seat) for very little extra money. Honestly the New Holland is a smoother running machine that is laid out better, but I simply could not justify the added cost to get another NH. Deere just misses on too many specs, its close to NH and Kubota, but misses. Kubota is not as ergonomic as the new Deere CUTs but the engines are the best in the world. So its all a compromise. Find what fits the majority of the tasks and get that brand.

^this
remember you need about 2GB for windows alone in ram (win7 and up) so subtract ghat from your total off the bat.

if you are doing web browsring/word go with more RAM then faster cpu. one can never have too much ram for the porn u want online.

if you plan on doing video editing, dvd ripping then go faster cpu before the ram.


are you sure about those processor speeds 1.7 to 3.x is a huge jump btw.

I have 32 Gigabytes of DDR3 Ram and an 8-core AMD-8350 processor, which I just OCed to about 5 Gigahertz.
The cooling fan and heatsink I have is massive.
I am upgrading to water cooling soon.

Do you have links to the specific components you are asking about?
