Turf Wars!

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! ;)

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....

hi,

I have a one acre yard in illinois and i use a 01 craftsman 42 inch 19.5 hp. rider for the long strips, and i use a 22 inch 7 hp craftsman auto drive for my front yard, and finally i use a 20 inch yardman for around my pond"very light mower"

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!!

i've got one in the garage (which i used awhile back before i had my lawn done) , it's a Green Craftsman. Don't know anything else about it!!! :whistles:

oh, i do know that it only has 2 blades though!! ;)

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.

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.

Really won’t hurt replacing “Mexicans” with Latino.

yeah, that kinda sounds racist (although i'm not one). maybe if u said "gardener", it would sound better! ;)

Majority, not all. I don't know another term to call a person from Mexico, Mexican neither.

This is equivalent: A person's lawn mower=red necks.

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. ;)

I am under the impression that this thread is about lawnmowers not who is pushing or driving them . Back on topic please.

[blake918]

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.
