New toys...

[bmoreswim]

Here are my two new (used
and sideways) toys. I’m looking forward to mowing again! I’ll be disappointed if I don’t get any “nice toys but wrong color” comments.

Where's the pool cleaner attachment?

 

[bmoreswim]

Now I’ll be up all night considering the possibilities!

Very nice toys!! Nothing wrong with those colors, lol.

Those colors can come play in my yard any day! Right now I have a red one and an orange one.

The snow blower should be orange but yellow isn't all that bad. I wish mine was track mounted....

Nice looking mower, someday when I find all the rocks in my yard I will get a nice mower until then its old used mowers and lots of grinding noises.

I’m never gonna own either one of those again!!
Especially the snowblower!!

What's a snowblower for? (says the guys who was born, raised and lived in NC his entire life)

They are for finding rocks and twigs on the edge of your driveway and neatly shearing the heads off of 1/4 20 bolts.

^^^^^ Don’t miss that either!

While I live in a snowy area I’m gonna be equipped to deal with it properly. I love snow. Cold is getting less attractive with age though.

Wrong color! All made by mtd!

I’ve never understood the idea about companies who make cheap products not also being able to make good stuff. Volvo is a Chinese company as an example. I suspect the Chinese parent made/makes some crappy stuff while also making some pretty good stuff.

Companies also go in stages of making good stuff then occasionally dumbing them down and then realizing the error of their ways.

Not saying any of this applies to Cub or MTD, as I really know nothing except that the mower and Kawasaki engine look and operate pretty good for a residential product.

But overall, I clearly brought the conversation upon myself! [emoji106]

What I do know for sure is I am saving 30 minutes from my prior 1:45 mowing time! More swim time!

VERY nice but we haven't had enough snow to justify that in 5 years! I haven't even bothered to get my SnowBlower out of the shed the past 3.

Nice toys, wrong color. (Wouldn't want you to be disappointed) :lol::lol:

Glad I didn't have to hand shovel this one from Jan '16!

But my all time favorite is this one...from 2010. I clear about 600' of pavement between our private road and two neighbors' driveways.

When I got my JD X570 last year I considered the blower package but just haven't needed even my little Craftsman blower in 3 years. I do remember the big one from '10 though.

It sure is nice to have the right tools for any job. In the TFP world, the right tools are mostly knowledge.
