I'm always on the look out for a 2500.

And how are you keeping the rust at bay?
You looking for a 4wd or 2wd.
If you want a clean one check the RV magazines, nice low milage units with no rust, but you'll pay.

It was fresh out of Oregon 4 springs ago and I don't drive it much in the winter.

Not as much as a 60, but better than a 48 for sure :eek:.
I prefer a 60 mainly because of the overhang, if you don't have anything you need the overhang for it's not a big difference in time savings on a smaller lawn. I may sell my 60" rider and get another 52 or 60 walk behind, as most of what I do I can get done quicker since they are more nimble and a lot kinder to lawns than a zero turn rider, my 60" is the biggest and heaviest 60" exmark made that yr, try getting on a wet lawn that is already soft with it, it can also be sketchy on his for turfing it up, but it's very stable so at least I'm safe :D.

You'll keep learning for a long time. I try to avoid going in a full circle around a tree or any other obstacle. When I'm approaching an obstacle I will go around the opposite side as what most would, this will make you turn about 2/3 of the way around it, then when I come back the opposite direction I go the other way around it which completes the circle around it. The exceptions to that are; when I don't want the chute facing the obstacle, I'm double cutting(cutting two different directions) so I will get a little on all four corners, or if it's in a highly visible area I want to look nicely striped.
I don't have many pictures of yards from the last couple yrs, but here's one I did last yr, I've done it a few times this yr, just not weekly.

I had done some work on a 60" for a customer and mowed my lawn with it afterwards. Thats how i found out a 60 was not that good for my use. Thats what i love most about working on lawn and garden stuff. You can experience a variety of equipment insted of guessing by reading specs and reviews on the internet.

That's awesome you get to do that, I spend a lot of cash to do that. I was thinking you could just cut a few trees down and then a 60 would work lol.
I like to run lots of equipment and see what I like, so much of it is subject to personal preference and what it's being used for that much of what's read is hard to decipher. I will many times buy 2 or 3 of the same/similar item and try them all out, then sell the ones that I like the least, many times that lowers my cost on the one I keep. Sometimes on certain equipment I can swap parts around to get exactly what I want on the one I'm keeping, other times I sell them all and go buy one set up how I want it.
You don't happen to have a single wire coil for a Kohler command pro laying around by any chance, I know a guy who needs one :cool:.

Well the lack of winter driving will sure do the trick.

SODA!
Liking the Honda.

If you look closely at that boat you can see a stihl on the front and the back:risas3:.
Liking the Honda, did I say that before :D.
What's on the bumper of the Yamaha.
The Yamaha has a paper plate, for a number plate.
You like Honda’s? I’m not sure? Lol

Love this mower!

Mowed my BILs property while he's away.

Looks good, fun tool aren't they.
I always tell people to buy equipment you will enjoy running, that way you'll be more apt to do the work.
I can't stand mowing, but I like running my mower lol.
