Mogs my non existent lawnmower to oblivion
Is your lawnmower an older or newer model?
Brutal. It is actually 15 years old and has around 225 hours of hard use on it
Bought brand new in 2009. It’s a 24 horsepower 50 inch cut, to top of the line back in the day
I see. My dad bought a mower kinda like yours recently because my parents bought a house with an acre
yes as i have neither a lawn or a lawnmower
Nice. This one mows a 1.5 acre yard with lots of hills and a super wet section that has very heavy grass. Do you know the horsepower and cutting width of your dad’s mower? Most of them are not as heavy duty as mine
Brutal. I love the outdoors and couldn’t stand to live in a city surrounded by nothing but buildings
I don't. The one he bought is smaller and has the same handles as yours to maneuver it
Yep. 1.5 acre yard with lots of hills and wet sections along with many obstacles. Zero turn machines are great for traction in we spots because the engine sits above the rear drive wheels.
0 turns me
I only have a scythe

So it’s also a zero turn. Any idea the brand? Mine is a Craftsman bought from the sears store before it closed.
Brutal. Zero turns are handy in certain areas and quite fun!
Like a drift cart with a bottom propeller
Not right now. I can take a pic and post it in this thread tomorrow
Yep. It is fairly fast for a lawnmower too. Also have a cart to tow behind it to haul logs and stuff. You don’t want to use it on side hills when wet though. Then it will start driving and slide all the way down the hill! (Happened to me once and happened to my dad a few times)
Ok, cool. I’d like to see what kind it is. Post a pic of the engine too if you can. The back cover the seat is mounted to usually hinges forward on a zero turn like this. Some of them just have the engines sticking out the back and visible too
@Dr. Autismo thoughts on this motor vehicle?
How much was it?
I'll do that too and post it with the other pic of the whole mower. I think the engine is visible in the back
Yes, I have an electric one from the local hardware store that you push.
I have always wanted to try a ride on mower, seems like it would be fun

They were $3,500 USD back in 2009, but we got it on sale for like 2,800. An equivalent machine nowadays would be around $4,000-$4,500
Ok thanks
Sheiiiit. My ryobi gen 1 was like 300 bucks
Push mower, I assume?
No problem
Hell yeah gotta get them steps in.
Must have a smaller yard. No fucking way anyone would use a push mower in the massive and hilly yard at our cabin. It takes at least 2 hours even with that powerful 50 inch cut riding mower
I only own a vacuum cleaner
Yes
Lol. Do you not have a yard? If not, are you from the big city where there isn’t much besides buildings?
The local government makes sure someone always comes by to cut down the weeds for me to comply with regulations
looks old and pretty run down
Yea
Whats the maximum speed?
Push mower has a modern Briggs and Stratton overhead valve engine by the looks of it. Likely an EX450 engine. My push mower has an EX550 engine. As for the riding mower, I have no idea what brand it is. Never saw a blue one before. It is definitely a smaller cut than mine though and less heavy duty. Also has the engine behind the rear axle, so will be better at side hills than mine, but will suck at climbing steep hills and could tip backwards easily
Riding mower also looks to have a large single cylinder engine. Probably a 14.5 horsepower or something similar
I have to push my lawn mower standing up and get mogged by chide relaxing in their fancy seated lawn mower
Brutal. Riding mowers mog when you have a massive yard. They are useless in smaller fenced in yards in town though because they are too big. I use a push mower to maintain my grandfather's small yard in town.
The acre at the house my parents bought is flat with woods behind it, so it won't tip. The push mower is a newer model, so that's why it has a newer engine
Can you send a pic of the riding mower engine? I bet it's a briggs and stratton or kohler engine. Curious about the horsepower
Looks like a briggs or kohler. Can't tell which, but it only has 11 horsepower. That thing would overheat and blow up if it tried to cut the heavy grass I have at the cabin. My engine mogs yours with it's 24 horsepower. Any idea how old this machine is? Pretty sure they don't put that small of engines in any of the new ones
I don't know the exact date, but i know it's older since my dad bought it 500$ cash from someone
Makes sense. Plenty of old ones had kohler 11 horsepower engines or briggs and stratton 12.5 horsepower engines. They were dogs in high grass and you'd have to go ridiculously slow to not overload it. Even my 24 horepower one starts lugging down in super thick grass. This engine would not survive. Sounds like a good buy for $500 though as long as your yard isn't super thick or high grass. At our cabin, it sometimes goes weeks in between cuts and needs a powerful machine to handle it. Anything less than an 18 horsepower twin engine would not be ideal
