So what did you do today?

[Wilhelm]

Charging the batteries I depleted yesterday trimming the hedges.



Five 3.0Ah completely depleted, one 4.0Ah down to two bars (out of four).
And this is supposed to be the future?
Doubtful , or the future will have to slow down considerably.

Getting summer tires on our cars.
Over pressurized them, easier to set desired pressure releasing excess air.

picked this 955 up Friday, about 15 mins from my house. it's a 1990 with fairly low hours, 3 cyl Yanmar, 33hp, hydro, 4x4, power steering, mid & rear pto, 3 point, 72" mid mount with mulch blades & the previous owner threw in another 72" deck.

gave it an oil change, cleaned the air filter, greased everything, changed front diff oil & sharpened blades saturday. picked up a new hydro filter & 5 gallons of HyGard today before work.

I mowed with it yesterday for about 4.5 hrs, I'm not a Deere guy, but man it's a peach.

The 955 was/is one of the best they made. I am not at all a Deere person but I respect quality and in its day the 855/955 was very good. I cannot and will not say they were the best because I did not run a bunch of others. I started with the US Army Corp of Engineers in 1991 and they had a 855. I had a 72" deck that was well constructed. We also had a 84" front snowblower but without a cab I cannot say that was a peach to run. Then they later put a small loader on it which I was happy that did not have during the "Great Flood of 1993" If you would have had it then I would have been using it to haul sand for sandbags. Instead they brought me a Case 1845 skid loader. I loved running that 855. The foot control hydro was a huge upgrade.

drained the hyd oil & cleaned the suction screen before work. nothing bad in the bottom of the gear case & minimal junk on the suction screen (who knows if its ever been taken out).

even more peace of mind on this investment.

Grow smaller hedges....
