Bad Boy Mower

Quote from Drew71646

I wish, would prob go broke paying someone to to do it! I keep about 5 acres mowed.

I feel your pain brother
I have to cut about 8-9 acers of my 35. Just before I left on a busseniss trip I was trying to make afinal cut. I have a John Deer commercial Zero Turn. After running about an hour it would just loose power. I didn't see any fuel in the filter. Changed it drained the tank. Blew out the lines and filled her back up. an hour later same thing. Loosened that cap to make sure no vapor lock nada.
Had to go so I left it.

Came home to knee high grass everywhere and no AC in the house - thank god it will only be 100 tomorrow

Ouch, no way I can give you a (like) on that one. Hope you get it goin' dude. My zero turn don't do knee high well, good luck.

This guy will cut thru even heavy knee high stuff may just need to raise the deck some
Mine is an older model with a60" deck and on demand mulch - it makes cutting grass fun
It jut can't swim well - I have slid it into the pond a few times when the banking is wet and sloppy.
I hate having to call my wife to come with the gator and a chain to pull me out of the mud...

I got you both beat in this game of "who's is bigger".

I have 11 acres that my yard guy cuts once or twice a month with my Massey Ferguson 255 and a 72" wide Turf Hog mower. I would love to get a bat wing 17 foot wide mower but I have yet to find one used that I could justify the cost.

Here is what I'm looking for if someone has one they want to sell at about 1/3 price.

Yes sir you do have me beat even on the tractor
I have as baby John Deere 790 with a Bush Hog but I must say I cut everything in just a few hours with the zero turn, used to take me 2 days wit the tractor then I would have yo go back and trim especially since I cut right up to the water line at the pond

Is hiring the neighbor's son to mow the lawn and head back inside and have a beer an option?

That's the @funinthesun we all know and love!!!!!!

@MACAWS I have to admit that the fast zero turn mowers are really great. The guy that cuts my yard uses a Dixie Chopper and I swear he looks like he is running 20mph.

And when you look at my yard it is perfectly cut and even all over. I don't blame him for going as fast as he can either. I would go just as fast as I could go until it started missing blades of grass.

Mine only goes about 17 mph wide open
I was wondering what you think about a Turbo set up...

OK funny story when I got my first Zero Turn The guy drops it off with a roll back and asks do you want me to show you how to drive it. I say no I used to run a skid steer I can handle it. he leaves and I go to work cutting grass. When I am all done my wife asks how do you like your new mower. "I love it but I have to run to Lowes because you need new landscape lights and flowers"
I wasn't as good as I thought I tore up the yard pretty good. Those damn things turn on a dime. But once you learn how to drive one there is no stopping you.
