New Home Owner need help with lawn Mower.
Comments (8)chefjbs, tiemco probably referred to that because warm season grasses typically are cut lower and more frequent then cool season grasses, and as such the type of mower (reel) for warm season is usually recommended (but also more expensive). If you were to not have the tree debris and didn't mind exercise the Fiskars 6201 push reel mower (ie non-powered) is a great mower at around $200 (can be occasionally found on sale for ~$150). For your price-range maximum and the tiny lawn (about the same size as mine) there is no need to go crazy on the price/features. I have a Murray mower powered by a 6.5hp Briggs and Straton engine I got 10 years ago for $150 and it is still running great. Yeah it's heavy, and it's not self-propelled, but it gets the job done reliably. For mulching you don't want to skimp on engine size (or risk stalling the engine/getting unclean cuts), but unless you can't deal with the weight of the mower there really are no other reasons to spend up (IMO of course). Save money on the mower, and spend a couple bucks on some good replacement mulching mower BLADES (I personally use Gator mulching blades but there are many different types), and you will be quite happy. Just keep up on proper maintenance, as no matter how much you spend, leaving gas in over the winter, never changing the oil/air filter, using dull blades,etc. will make any mower choke prematurely.

Comments (4)For sure, you won't need a lawn mower! and, you won't need to tow a car around! Won't have room for your gun collection, or the Mrs. collection of old glassware! No property tax collectors!Your pesky brother in law won't be dropping in on saturday morning, trying to borrow yer tractor, chain saw, lawn mower, Troy-bilt tiller, nothing like that! Just think--a new barber every time you need a hair cut, unless you don't get it cut unless you stop in at the old home town occasionally! You'll be making new friends, and losing other ones! Sometimes good, sometimes bad. I'd often thought i'd like to do that, if i had become a widower in later life, but, the ol' girl is still perkin' right along, so i'm happy to keep living in our home, firmly anchored to the gool old sod, so to say! My advice/ Try it-might like it, might get tired after time passes! Lots to see out there, scenery at your home will be easily changable! No grass to mow, no snow to shovel, no reliable friends (temporary ones, maybe not permanent ones! Have to pay for all services-can't repair the truck or trailer in campground, or wherever you stay! Its a big decision-to pull up stakes and leave! But, our ancestors did it-under far less inviting circumstances, and survived, maybe minus their hair, but they helped build a country! I've towed all over, from Texas to the north-east! Enjoyed it all! Had tents, tent trailers, stand-up trailers, and a motor home! And, all served their purposes. to keep us dry, secure, away from bugs and snakes, and interlopers! Great way to see our great country. Go for it! If i wasn't 82 yoa, i'd travel further than 100 miles one way! Never know when the big one is coming! Costs big bucks to ship a corpse very far, ya know! Have fun: By: Rusty Jones...See MoreMy new house on wheels pics
Comments (25)Kathleen, here you go. shower, sideways, I thought I rotated it! Doesn't he look like he belongs there?! Sofa is green and tan check. I forgot to lighten it. Next two are kitchen Last two are the bedroom. The whole driver side slides out for lots of room! Kathy, we'll be back your way one of these days. I'll give you a call when we do. Gayle, It's not a tacky picture! It looks great, and on a great chassie, too! Ours is a V10! I won't be showering while DH is driving! I'm hoping I can get him to stop so I can potty. I do have my train legs, tho. Zipper, I can pull a trailer with my Expedition without problems. I do have a large parking lot across the street, but it's not empty very often. Donna, glad to know yours is still in use by someone somewhere! Once I get past the intimidation part, I'll be fine until I get in city traffic that I hate at the best of times even with just a regular vehicle! Tami...See MoreMy new wheels!
Comments (24)How funny, Chisue! I mentioned the "meet rich men" ploy to a friend, and he said, "You'll have to hide your Caprice." LOL Subaru calls it Bronze. Yes, I think we can do the car seats if necessary. The interior is roomy! My son noted something nice about the headlights. I don't know what it's called, but it looks like a small crystal ball in the headlamps. Probably all newer cars have this now. I haven't drive it at night yet, but he said I'll be happy with the illumination. Meanwhile, he replaced the headlamps in my Caprice this week. It's looking good! ;-)...See More- 7 years ago
