Nice looking ride there LS...what kind and size is the engine? Is it something a poor CntryBoy can afford?...

Click on the link, it gives the specs and price.

I really like all of my Troy-Bilt products. I have had my rototiller for almost 30 years.

Maybe links don't work real well on phones... it's 24HP. The thing is a beast! I got a 10% discount for being ex military, should have gotten 5% for using the Lowes credit card and paying it off in 30 days, but it only gave me the one discount. It basically paid the sales tax for me. I also bought the 3 year service plan for it. Total was a little over $2,100.00.

All you folks in the SE states, I hope you're prepared for the storms moving east. @CntryBoy777 looks like you're gonna get them before dawn and it looks like the band runs from about TN all the way south to the gulf, so just about everyone else in the SE is gonna feel them at some point over the next few days. All the serious weather stayed pretty well south of me here, but we had one heck of a lightning show and some pretty hard rain. I guess there's a chance that we'll see more here tomorrow and later into mid next week.

We are all good here...have gotten .4" so far, but no severe weather....off/on showers til about 3pm today.

The rain started here about two minutes after we got in the driveway with our chickens this afternoon and before we had a chance to finish getting their coops ready so that got done in the rain.

Yay! Tomorrow is the BYH day!! Nothing more fun than a BYH get-together!!!!

Nice mower LS! If we had grass, we'd get one too, but we have sand and sheep......DH wants a mower so bad, but I ask him WHY? So he can make sand clouds??

So after getting beat up from riding the tractor over uneven ground for two days, here's the results:

Now I need to pull out the push mower and mow inside the fence... my yard Not happening today though... I need a R&R day.

You know, I'm finding all these pustuals on my arms from fire ant bites. Never felt the bites when they were happening. I guess they're from ants that got blown out by the mower then back onto me from the wind. It's OK, they go well with all the scratches from dragging those green thorn vines down out of the trees while mowing close to the tree clumps. There are a few scratches from tree branches as well. Since it's the first time I've mowed the pastures I now know all the other work I have to do before next time.

Our first year here I had to take pictures of the pasture every time I got it looking neat like that. It only took me a year to acknowledge that I had several hundred pictures of the exact same view in our picture folder.

It does look good and I know it's worth the effort.

When are you going to get started with your goats or did I miss it and you already have them?
