The Appalachian mountain range runs all the way to Canada so why you would think I'm from hillbilly country is somewhat confusing :confused2: and yes to me your a Yankee. Your a foreigner :laughing: or fureigner as we'd say :wink:

People who are born and raised north of the Mason-Dixon Line and move south are Yankees no matter how long they have lived in the south. I misunderstood you earlier. I thought you were from Kentucky. The only thing even remotely Yankee about my family is both of my brothers married Yankees. :laughing:
Come on guys, don't get upset at each other we have the same interests and that is ZTM, When you get into the higher levels of mowers I believe they will all do what you need without breaking down every week.
I lived in west NY in the foot hills of the Allegheny mountains in a Seneca village called Allegany from 1946 to 1957, I have lived in Florida for 57 years.
As far as hills we have some pretty darn big ones in the center of the state, and if you don't think so, I guarantee you wouldn't live if you stepped off of one.
Ric, I'm sorry you are in a bad mood, Hughes717 did not say anything derogatory toward what you were saying he was actually agreeing with you, I think you just took it wrong, I have to agree he is a little head strong about this estate vs commercial thing even though Snapper says it's a commercial mower, we know it is, anyone else can call it what they like, Gee Whiz! I have been called a lot of different things in my life...Ha!Ha!, but I am still me, c'mon guys have a beer and chill.
Lets face it, any company will do what is needed, within the law, to sell their product, if they didn't they would have been out of business a long time ago.
but singling out one manufacturer is not right, they all do it!
I hope I didn't hurt any feelings, just trying to light the peace pipe.
I will be quiet now!!!!!!!.............Ron

LoCo86, According to the Florida historical folks, I'm from NY, but have lived here over a half century, so I'm considered a Florida native, I'm actually a Florida Cracker according to the natives in this area.
If anyone wants to get really knitpickin, all you non-native Americans are foreigners.

I'm not in a bad mood, I'm just picking on Shughes 717 and I think he's doing the same to me, I don't think he is mad or in a bad mood. I don't think either one of us are taking each other seriously at least I'm not. If he really knew where I am and where I was born he mite be surprised. :wink: As far as the Estate mower thing goes, that's Bush Hog name for there mower like the Z Master is Toro's name for there commercial mower it's not what it is. I wish I could have a beer but the doc says No No.

Ric is exactly right. I'm having fun as well. I don't think he is being serious. I consider it just playful banter.:laughing: I respect Ric a lot. Yes we have some different opinions, but not as many as people think. As I mentioned earlier. The semi commercial/ estate/low end commercial thing must be regional. That's just what they are called in my neck of the woods. I would have no problem using a s50xt in a business to mow several lawns that average < 1 acre each and I think that is what they are designed for. The only other different opinions Ric and I have is our opinions on snapper pro and ferris mowers. Other than that I seldom disagree with what he posts.
Sorry Guys it just sounded like it was getting out of hand, and I didn't want to be partly responsible for the clash.
Ric, NO BEER!!!!! how do you manage......Ha!Ha!
My doc says I can't have any coffee, for some people that could be just as bad, actually I can have only one beer a day, man it's hell getting old.
Ric, Hughes717, I live in Mims, FL. it was a little town with one caution light it didn't rate a full fledged traffic light, it has increased in size a little but not as much as expected in the last sixty years, the folks want to keep the so called progress out, there are a lot of rednecks or good old boys as some refer to us in this area, we hunt, fish, mud bog, airboats, ride horses, raise crops and a lot of different farm animals especially horses and cattle.
We bow and black powder hunt, I don't do much hunting anymore, just target shooting.
Do you guys enjoy the same stuff.

Oh yeah, though I don't hunt much these days with three small kids. My oldest daughter is showing interest in it though, so I may get to pick it back up. I hope she wants to duck hunt, because that was one of my favorite sports. I shot my bow so much in college that I frayed the limbs. Hoyt replaced them for free thankfully. I sold my bow several years ago when money got tight and I needed to get my wife a Christmas gift. Always said I would get another one, but haven't done it yet. I haven't gone mudding since I was a kid, but I still help my dad on his farm, so I get to play in the mud from time to time it's just on a mfwd john deere tractor. We also raise Piedmontese cattle and have a few quarter horses. I have never been on an air boat, but I have always wanted to ride on one. Spent many summers on the Tennessee river on boats and jet skis. My grandparents used to own a cabin there. One of my favorite places on earth. I hope I can afford a place there one day. Of all the states not named tennessee I have visited, Florida is my favorite. I can see why so many people move down there. I had an opportunity to work for marine patrol out of college, but I wanted to be a wildlife officer in Tennessee. Took a job at a police department to get post certified so I had a better shot to work for Twra, but found that I have a knack for police work. I enjoy what I do, but sometimes wonder what would have been had I took the job with marine patrol.
