According to the article, riding mowers can emit as much smog as 34 cars. Hence, the EPA wants to reduce mower emissions by 35% and estimates the cost of the mowers will jump 18% but “those higher costs could be offset by the benefits of cleaner air.” Global warming activism toppling the economy one riding [...]

My John Deere X300 Mulching Mower works great! The other day someone left a comment on my previous post that I didn't publish because it was full of profanity. However, I wanted to respond to his comment with this post.He said something along the lines of this "The John Deere Mulching Mower is a piece of *&%#@@!" He went on to say that the mower leaves clumps of grass all over the place and i
The local vicar was making his rounds on a bicycle, when he came upon a little boy trying to sell a lawn mower. "How much do you want for the mower?", asked the vicar. The young boy thought for a moment, then replied "I just want enough money to go out and buy a bicycle." After a moment of consideration, the vicar asked, "Will you take my bike in exchange

There are few things my husband values more than his wife, his life and his children. His golf clubs, his chain saw and his precious lawn tractor. He tends to guard and protect these three things with more ferocity than I’ve ever seen him guard me.

Cordless lawn mower is newly released lawn mowers are ideal for flat lawns. Corded electric mowers are generally lighter than cordless mowers, since they don't have a battery. They also cost less than cordless lawn mowers models. The only "disadvantage" is that you have to deal with the hassle of dragging around an extension cord. For smaller lawns however, this usually isn't a problem. In this ca

I hold down the lever and yank back on the chord as I hear the rumbling, feel the vibrating in my hands. The lawn mower shakes off brown dust the way a dog shakes off water. It roars at me in anticipation of the blades of grass it will soon eat. The mower knows it is time for its weekly meal. It is Saturday.My dad wants me to use the riding lawn mower, but I don't for two reasons: I enjoy the walk

The Handyguys discuss annual spring maintenance for your lawn mower
For many of us in the northern parts of the USA, it is that time of year when we get the lawn mower out for the first time. Most of us probably use tradition walk behind mowers with combustion engines. Like our cars, these tools require [...]
When you want to tackle the biggest jobs, the 36" Craftsman Professional mower is the perfect fit. With a high performance engine and a wide cutting deck, you will trim down your overall cutting time.
Last year I bought a John Deere X300 lawn mower with the mulching deck. Seeing that spring is just around the corner (late start here in snow country) I want to get the mower ready for the upcoming summer season.The following maintenance items are suggested annually:1. Lubricate front axle pivot, axle spindles, mower spindles, pivot points, and lift pedal.2. Change engine oil and filter.3. Replace spark plugs.4. Replace air filter element (foam and paper).5. Replace fuel filter.6. Clean engine cooling fins.7. Check mower belt.8. Sharpen / replace blades.9. Clean bottom side of mowing deck.10. Check tire pressure.John Deere sells a convenient home maintenance kit that includes oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, air pre-cleaner and spark plugs. I decided to buy the John Deere kit so t
Hustler, the company that makes lawnmowers, not the magazine known for more beaver shots than Canadian tourism literature, claims its 'Super Z' riding mower is the fastest production zero turn mower on the market.Given that our subscription to Popular Mechanics has expired, we're going to have to take their word for it, not to mention the fact that we both live in high rise apartment buildings and require binoculars to see actual grass.We imagine that you wouldn't necessarily want to go off roadin' with the missus on one of these bad boys, but for a mower it can certainly scorch rubber with nearly 30 horsepower. And with a top speed of 15 miles an hour, it's just powerful enough so that you can drag race a Segway scooter and leave it in the dust too, provided there is a mighty tail wind ki
I absolutely hate mowing the lawn, so anything that can help accomplish this task quicker than my hand-me-down Toro is worth considering. An F1-inspired mower just might do the trick. Complete with an F1-style front wing, full race suspension, rear view mirrors, vintage John Player Special-style livery and a steering wheel sporting an LCD gauge display, this CG mockup of a concept racing mower by Kadeg Boucher of France could easily shave a few tenths off my mow time. We particularly like the pull start that’s been relocated front and center, as well as the race helmet cap on the single spark plug. Within the gallery below you’ll find a bunch of images showing Boucher’s concept cutter from every angle, and some versions of the machine appear more production feasible than others. Seriously, there are at least a few of us out there who would lay down cash on the spot if we passed this thing in Home Depot.

�A coward dies a thousand deaths; a brave man dies but once.� Our cat Der Doc proved that this applies to cats as well. Caution was the watchword in Der Doc�s life. He was a grey cat, striped like a tiger but decidedly without the tiger�s courage. Daddy said, �He�s the original scaredy-cat.� Der Doc had the run of our farm in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, and the farm had multitudes of opportunities for a diligent cat. The chief opportunities lay with barn mice during the winter and field mice in the summer. Der Doc regularly partook of these opportunities. Cautiously, of course. How ironic it was that his most searing experience took place when he was cautiously minding his own business. His business being a field mouse in our hayfield, as Daddy drove the John Deere tractor into the field and began mowing the alfalfa. We children were never allowed in the field when Daddy was mowing hay, because the sickle on the mower extended out eight feet from the tractor. You c

Summer is almost here. You can already smell fresh mowed grass of neighborhood laws and here the kids running through sprinklers. It is time for all of us to get geared up for the long mowing season ahead. With the price of fuel continuing to climb higher, an aging lawn mower engine that is declining in power or fuel efficiency may not be worth the time and energy to use this summer. Yet the cost of a new lawn mower or lawn tractor may not be in your budget this year. Plus, we hear every day about the importance of being green these days and tossing your old lawn mower into the trash heap is not in line with reducing waste and protecting the environment.Repowering your lawn mower or lawn tractor using repower kits for equipment made by Toro, Cushman, or Jacobsen can be the best preparation you need for the upcominglong lawn or golf course mowing season. The kits made for Toro lawn mowers and Toro lawn tractors are perfect examples of how small engine repower kits work and benefit lawn
I’ve always thought it would be neat to build a remote controlled lawn mower. Then I could avoid those hot and sweaty sun scorching days and mow the lawn from the comfort of my air-conditioned home. Well, it looks like someone else has already beat me to the task. I guess I’ll have to settle [...]
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn’t run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed.
But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the truck, the car, playing golf - always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.
When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, “When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway.”
The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.
The moral to this story. Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is the husband.
Spring has sprung and I hope it is for good! We hit 65 today, the kids were outside in short sleeves playing most of the day (except for "I'm too hot breaks" - imagine what summers are like for us!) Even the grass is looking green and parts of the lawn are growing already. If we have the forecast that the weather channel is predicting, we may just be mowing soon. I am more than ready for
What a gorgeous day in Crewe. Beautiful sunshine, fresh and crisp, people out walking and the odd fool carrying shopping home on his bike! I only popped out to buy a few energy-saving light bulbs from B and Q. It doesn't take much to sidetrack me, though, and my cycle route took me through Queens Park. The Mrs called to see if I'd got lost and decided to make use of my being out and about by putting a shopping order in. The yogurts and cottage cheese were not a problem, but my heart sank when she said a bag of spuds! The lake at Queens Park, as you can see, is being drained as part of the £3.7m revamp that is currently under way. It'll look great when finished, but for now there's something strange about the fencing that surrounds the water to keep the public safe. If it wasn't in place I'm sure some idiot would try walking on the mud and soon disappear. On that note, I wonder what they'll find as the last of the muddy water is drained off? I counted at least ten bikes spread a
