The Super Official Homeowners Thread

[Steve85]

First  off, congrats on the new home Ryan! I'm starting to miss having some property...

I agree with the tractor vs zero turn idea for a homeowner. If you need a tractor, you can probably benefit from being able to use attachments. Good call on the straight trimmer too, I picked up a curved one time and tried to turn it over into "edger" position and it was awkward as hell.

I just realized that my current mower a typical 26" self propelled Troy-Bilt with Briggs and Stratton is a solid 12-13 yrs old now and never a problem. After my last mow I noticed the grass had really bad brown tips and looked like it was ripped instead of cut. Used by grinder to sharpen things up and got a nice clean cut. I've sharpened it a couple times before, but it was probably 3-4 yrs since the last.

Oh, and I had sex so I wouldn't have to cut my lawn:



Lee, my big post about aeration got deleted but it turned out really good following my brothers advice. He is in charge of all the park property (common land, sports fields, etc.) in a town in NC, I'll see what he says about bermuda specifically and pass that on.
