Very nice lawn kit and even better lawn.

Yes, very nice kit but you need back-up machines for each of them!

That front yard looks terrible..........

My biggest gripe about zero turns has always been that most of them are big and heavy. I see that Hustler now has a smaller 42" cut series called the Dash, equipped with Kawasaki engines. I'm thinking I may get into one of these at some point.

I have a Hustler 54 with 692 Kaw on it .

Freaking love it

Once you go zero turn you never want a tractor type mower again. My 61" 3100 Ferris is heavy but is nimble as a cat.

THIS 100%

My compact mini z is a killer compact commercial 52” too bad they don’t make em anymore.

Another spring is upon us and I'm getting all the mowers ready. I'm repoing my Craftsman push mower from the sister in law, she has had more than enough time to get a mower of her own. This is one of the last good ones to wear the Craftsman name and it's coming home to stay. I'm planning to do alot more push mowing this year for exercise so it is going to get some mileage!

Just got off mine, 1st mow of the year.

I've already mowed my yard twice this spring.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Our grass is still recovering from the great ice kingdom of less than a month ago. I need to get my kid to pick up all the sticks and debris in the yard.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Got the mower back today and not a moment too soon. Dirty as can be and the blade has been mowing rocks. Ordered up everything it needs to get back in the game and no more letting relatives borrow OPE unless it's my dad or brother in law.

 

[FergusonTO35]

And she's back!

That is the best kind of push mower. 4 wheels and a spinning blade. No wheel drive to quit working or other gimmicks.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Agree 100%. This one is made by AYP and surprisingly good quality. It's pretty heavy, the engine has a 1" crankshaft like a riding mower.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Buddy of mine brought his mower for a tune up. Never seen this kind of blade before, is it something new?

 

[big_eddy]

Hover blade. For mowers with worn out wheel bearings

It is one of those new "negative vacum safety blades" designed to suck the mower down to the ground so you can't pick it up and use it to trim shrubs.

 

[FergusonTO35]

I was thinking maybe it was an Australian model.

Eventually I figured out how the Aussie Blade happened for me.

We lay the blade down beside near the mower and simply grab it and swing our hand under the deck and spin in the bolt.
..leastways that's my theory!
Never got to the point of actually running one upside down.
I always have spotted it when I went to tighten the bolt.

Now I have pulled a couple of starter ropes with the plug wire still off.
Yep. Quite an old habit of pulling them off before putting my fingers on the deck.
...could be just one more reason I prefer rear facing cylinder heads.
Mostly prefer rear facing cylinders for the easier turning balance of a push mower though!
