The Super Official Homeowners Thread

[Ryan T]

I know you fellas like you fancy battery powered push mowers and such, but sometimes, a man wants a real mower and a real weed eater. As you all know, we recently bought a new place on a little over half an acre. The back yard has some steep spots, but the front yard is pretty much sloping and smooth, but has a creek at the bottom. I’d been planning on replacing my old Lowe’s brand line John Deere L100 since before we moved, but I bit the bullet to day and bought one...along with a new weed eater. Mower is a John Deere X570 with a 25hp twin cylinder engine, 48” cut, cruise control and a locking rear differential. Mowed my yard with it today and it was awesome. Super pleased. The larger cut along with the hydrostatic transmission cut my actual riding time down from an hour and fifteen minutes to 50 minutes. Towards this fall I’ll be buying the snow blade to push snow this winter, no more shoveling for this fat boy! Also, ordered the HDAP knobby tires, which should be here Tuesday.

Also bought a Stihl FS56 straight shaft weed eater. It’s just a tad shorter than I’d like, but way better than the curved shaft it’s replacing.

Both units come with a 4 year (500 hour for the mower) full coverage warranty. Also came with two sweet John Deere hats.
