I have a friend who mows his yard with a bush hog that is towed by his 4 wheeler. His lawn is huge though so I'm not surprised. It actually looks decent since he does it every week. Would you use a Bush Hog to mow your yard?

Does anyone have any recommendations for one of those weed eaters that are sort of look like a push mower? I have had problems with my back for some time and I really need something that is a little easier than my big honkin' weed eater that weighs a ton. Anyone?

I was just looking at one of these at the local big box store. It was pretty cheap (under $40), but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this one? It's not very big but they advertise with an optional attachment you can even clean your gutters. Anyone?

I saw this mower at a local store and it looked pretty good. The price wasn't bad either but I'm not sure it's what I really want. It would be so helpful if the mower dealers had a demo model of each mower and let you try it out even if it was at their shop.

How can you find out which is the best type of grass for your region? I have tried several types and it all starts great but then dries up even though I am watering it regularly. Help!

Does anyone have a small tiller like the Mantis? I was considering getting one just to work our flower beds over. I've never met anyone who had one and I really just wanted to know if they really work or are they a waste of money?

I visited the graves of my family this weekend and one of the graveyards is in a rural setting. I was aghast to find that poison ivy had invaded the areas around the stones! The caretaker is certainly not doing his job. But for now, how do I get rid of the stuff without killing the grass?

Recently I went to a local VA hospital which has a lot of steep hillsides they have to mow. I noticed they were mowing the steep areas instead of weedeating them because of the patterns left in the grass. When I came back out of the hospital, I saw one of the mowers they were using. I...

I love the smell of honeysuckle in the mornings and in the evenings. But I don't like it to intrude into my yard. I don't want to kill all of it. I was thinking of maybe running a plastic barrier in front of it so it can't take hold in my lawn. Do you think that would work?

I have a 2000 International rider that I have just bought. The only thing is the deck is "loose". I can shake it when I get off and the mower is off. Should I be concerned? I haven't seen any areas of rust but I just got it.

I have a neighbor who has a four wheeler that he uses as a lawn mower by towing a bush hog made for the four wheeler. He loves it because he has LOTS of yard to mow. He usually gets 2 acres of lawn done in about an hour and a half which is fantastic.

Does anyone here have a lawn sweeper? I was looking at one on sale at our local Tractor Supply store and they have one on sale. Is it worth the price you give for it?

Everytime I mow my yard, I will come across some type of snake or other. We have a creek in our front yard and we have a lot of garter snakes around because of the frogs and lizards that are around. We also have a lot of rabbits that will hop across our yard occasionally. I know all of these...

I'm thinking about getting a walk behind that is self propelled and electric start. I know there aren't many of them out there but I'm getting to the point that I can't pull start the mower any longer. Getting old isn't a good thing.:frown:

My neighbor just bought a zero turn Dixie Chopper and he loves it. He says it is very low maintenance too, which is a plus for me. Does anyone else have one and how do you like it? I'm still looking for a rider to suit me.

How do you start to conquer weeds when weeds are all you have? If I were to spray weed killer on my lawn, I'd not have anything to mow. Between the dandelion, crab grass, dogbane, violets and other weeds that make up my lawn, I hav very little grass. But it has to be mowed too I guess.:smile:
