    Lawn mower (tractor) maintenance - Anybody else do this?

    Probably because a sharp blade will chip....add some thickness to the cutting edge helps to eliminate that. Agree with you on sharp blades. I keep them sharp and avoid mowing GRAVEL!

    Out in the clover field.

    I've had several surgeries and lots of freezing sprays. Too bad that the damage is done when you are young (and stupid). Same for the eyeballs....had both cataracts recently replaced.......sunglasses??????? What that??????

    Lawn mower (tractor) maintenance - Anybody else do this?

    Mine came with the deluxe seat but recalling it wasn't suspension. I'd have to move up another $1k to get in that neighborhood and $7k for a lawn mower, 10 or so years ago, was high enough for me.

    I think I have seen general replies to the basic question for 10 PSI/1000 RPM minimum.

    Deck wash port on mowers

    On the getting up off the floor, I share your grief somewhat....don't have that much pain, just no strength in muscles I used to take for granted.....and having something to get my arms in the act really does help.

    What AI can do for you.

    The biggest thing that I remember about farming and books, early on in my life, was a picture and explanation of "contour plowing", and I was a well-un-educated city boy at the time. Never forgot the picture and when I became a farmer, used the principle.

    Bears - Wolves - Alligators

    Have been lucky here in N. Tx. but earlier this spring a couple of funny things happened. Was moving round hay bales and noticed 5 eggs between where a couple of bales were sitting. Broke open one of the eggs and it was a snake egg. Not more than a week later I had to cut off the water at the...

    Deck wash port on mowers

    Not worth the effort. Early on, I bought sets for my older mowers which is what I used before they came standard on some decks and they make a big mess and sweep out clippings but don't do a complete job so I abandoned that effort. On my newer stamped decks I have them but don't use them.

    Lawn mower (tractor) maintenance - Anybody else do this?

    Lots of comments. A lot of them I have/had shared. I like 46" dual blade mowers, especially newer ones that seem to have the blades geared up to higher RPMs which helps to sweep the clippings out....even wet ones. The absence of the 3rd blade in the middle goes a long way in allowing...

    Opinions Solicited

    I had a section supervisor come to work one day with his hand totally covered in bandages. Seems he had too many beers the previous Sunday and shouldn't have been running his table saw.

    false advertising

    My rural system recently said that they had to up theirs to 85# due to the number of people moving into the area and people griping about low water pressure.....when I heard that, I bought and installed a 50# pressure regulator at the outlet of my meter....My 45+ year old PVC needs to hang in...

    Cub with Cab

    Cabs tend to fit the size of the tractor in length and width, especially width.....per my experiences. So the cab off a large tractor would be hanging over big time on both sides.
