ford212.809 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Okay, here it goes. B) Grass cutting season has arrived. Just curious as to what everyone is using to mow their lawns. I have a two year old Kubota ZD21 diesel w/a 60" ProDeck. I mow two acres in about 45 minutes. Yes, I know, everyone either hires it out or live in condominiums. But for everyone else, lets here it! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX in NC Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Eight Peruvian Alpacas powered by four bales of organically-grown alfalfa and 32 gallons of freshly-strained rainwater per day. They can munch about one acre of Kentucky-31 fescue in four days before it's time to start them in the front yard all over again. But then they head for the neighbors' lawn and that's another story.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ford212.809 Posted May 1, 2005 Author Share Posted May 1, 2005 RX, GREAT reply. After a looonnng day, today, I was enlightened by your response. Although, I would imagine the upkeep of your "machines" is quite expensive!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBdenny Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 My lawn is only about 1/3 acre. I have a Toro self propelled walk behind. I get exercise and save fuel over a rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 What do I use to mow my lawn? I guess the answer is "Mexicans" since the lawn service's employees seem to speak only Spanish. These guys work their butts off but I always wonder if they are legal residents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know another term to call a person from Mexico, Mexican neither. This is equivalent: A person's lawn mower=red necks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denslexusgx470 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 well my point was that it isn't that great to "name" the different races . sometimes they can be proven wrong. besides, if u call someone "Mexican" maybe only those type of people will accept the idea of them being called that, but others don't. jus being conservative. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blake918 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Back on topic please. ← Point well taken and duely edited! ;) I stand by what I said, but maybe it's better for PM. We have a Toro personal pace 6.5hp, Echo blower and trimmer, and McLane edger for a small suburbia front yard(small-none back yard b/c of pool). The Toro is excellent.
