Lawn Tractor






We got a lawn tractor at Lowe's on Friday night. It's a Husqvarna 26-hp 54" cut. Lisa calls it "the big scary one". They delivered it yesterday afternoon and I got most of the lawn mowed. I mowed again for another two and a half hours this morning. I still have the piece between the creek and the road to get. It's a little less than an acre out there I think. Some of the hills were scary at first because it felt like I was going to tip over. I got used to it after a while and was zooming back and forth. It's pretty bumpy on the hill beyond the trees. I think it was bush hogged when the ground was wet. There are a lot of what look like old tractor ruts. I'll have to attack the creeks with the weed eater later.
These are the lawn after it was freshly mowed looking out of the front door.

You may want to consider a real tractor with a 9" Disc Mower:

You know, like real farmers have.

Not a real farmer. At least until we get our first hooved creature.

I want to come play on your lawn mower... and in your creek... and with your closest neighbors... LOL

According to the tracto documentaton it is not a toy. It should not be played with. However you may mow the lawn ANY time you wish. We'll even feed you and give you a place to sleep!

What a great looking area to live. So much green grass and pastures, WOW! It looks like you'll be having fun taking care of the place, I sure would.

It sure is beautiful up there! Sometimes I sure do miss it! When I was younger I used to play on the riding lawnmower all the time. We would drive it up to the store.
