Mower More Valuable than Cars

[Sundance]

What does it mean when your Lawn Mower worth more than your cars?

[Sundance]

Tried to post this in Tailgater but I am not allowed to post a poll there. :(

Went out and bought a 2003 Grasshopper mower with a 61" deck. 25 HP and lots of power. I have 5 acres to mow. What used to take nearly 6 hours now takes 1 1/2.

I will be using it on the bee out yards as well.

I spent more on the mower than any car or truck I own!! yikes!!

What did you pay for it?
I have 3 acres and will be looking for something bigger and faster myself.We have the Dixie Chopper brand here,base price of $6000.00 and up..

could get a scag if my gals would pack them supers faster..
lol

I'm a redneck....You telling me you paid more for a goat than you did your 4X4??? REALLY???

[blkcloud]

hehe..I got a exmark 60 inch cut 27 hp with vaccum attachment...$11500.00.... :D

[Sundance]

blkcloud......... you have made my day. Mine has the vacumn as well.

my tractor is worth more than my truck - I don't see the problem.

could get a scag if my gals would pack them supers faster.. I run these machines for a living. I would take the Dixie Chopper over the scag ANYTIME. Right now I am running an exmark lazer z 42", a scag turf tiger 62", another exmark 36" stand behind, and a scag 42". We bought the 42" exmark lazer Z last August $7700.00, I wished we had of held out for the Dixie Chopper or the John Deere Comercial.

I purchased the gas model Grasshopper last year and it also cut down my mowing from about 4 hours to about an hour and a half! That with my new Kubota tractor together cost more than what my 2003 jeep is worth. But I love both of them! Boys and their toys!

I didn't see the poll option...

That you need a new car/truck because you own a push mower.

I have a 1978 snapper riding mower, if I sold it for what it's worth, I might get enough to fill up the gas tank on my Diesel truck but then again, might not ;)

If you've got that much space, it's pasture. smile.gif

Ok, I'm a woman and use a push mower for my 1/2 acre but what does any of this have to do with keeping bees? Just asking. Theresa.

This topic makes me feel fine........
My sheep/goats/llamas mow for me. When I shear 'em the wife spins their hair.
Out this way the cost is in irrigating.

gardenbees........ I wanted to post this in the "Tailgater" section but I was not allowed to. However....... If you have several outyards, mowing, and mowing fast, is a bee issue. smile.gif

Buz..... no animals for this rascal. I like to leave whenever I want without getting a babysitter. Also I have a small orchard (200 trees) and animals would reak havoc on them.

I see that I should not have included "None of the Above"....... ;)

[divebee]

I've got one of the big zero turn radius riders too... As for beekeeping use.. It gets the yard work done so fast, there's more time to spend on the bees.

[fhafer]

I use Gravely walk behinds....L, LI, or LS. Usually the 1959 L around the hives! The "newest" Gravely I have is a 1982 5665, that one gets the most use because it's electric start.

I see that I should not have included "None of the Above"....... [Wink]

The only way one can see the results is to vote for something. Since none of the options fit . . .

This poll would be a good line for “you might be a redneck if” ;)
