Stop in for a cup of coffee

Last year I sold my JD zero turn. With the new place lots of trees and slope. Some places I had to make several passes and some felt like I'd tip over.
I bought a five-year-old Grasshopper zero turn diesel with 200 hours. It's the Cadillac of mowers in my book. Goes anywhere, quiet running, and no thoughts of tipping.
I can't pull anything with it, but that's why I have the monster cart.

Thanks and I've read about the oven, why not. For the recipe I followed they actually cooked it at 250 citing 60 minutes per pound vice 90 min with no noticeable difference in texture etc. Not sure I'm buying all that, and they have you start poking the meat with a quick read once it hits 195 saying it can be "done" in quite a range of temps (although I've heard 203 is the magic number). I'll tweak this around, first one with new smoker.

First one is always the scariest cook. That's a spendy piece of meat. It looks delicious. Wrapping and resting is the key I think.

That would be the way to go, do they have one for a D130, would be good to have as an option if needed, can't see servicing a hydrostatic successfully if the clutches are burned up.

That should be a good one. Yanmar of Kubota? Both are good.

I sure haven't had much luck with them trying on a propane grill. I think I'll start next one super early since you can put them in a cooler up to 4 hours, then I'll know it's rested and it won't be done at midnight!!!
 
Finally found a few bales of barley straw for the pond. Marketplace right across the river. Hard to find that stuff.
 
Taking a chance on these. Really getting hard to find real ones lately.

I just changed the hydro fluid on my JD. It was the non-filter/non serviceable unit but online shows 2 bolts to take out of the housing that go into the sump to drain the fluid. It was pretty easy.

There was a little filter in mine. Not a spin on like the big boys.

My last one was in the cooler overnight. It was still warm the next morning. I wrapped it in towels as well.

I don't do much weed whacking. No zero turn, but I've added mulch rings (wood chips) around a few trees so I can just cruise around them. Most are down back, so I don't keep the mulch perfect. Just spray it for weeds occasionally. Otherwise gotta go around a couple times to get close.

Good Morning

Good idea I need to do that around 2 trees.

IN the AMCJeep book they call them Stud Retainer.
You can resell 40 of them at 50 cents a piece and come out ahead. Get the list of part numbers and applications to move them faster

I take the backpack sprayer and spray roundup in a one-foot circle around the trees killing the grass.
This year is the third year and it's just a touch up now. Makes mowing easier and quicker.

Been doing roundup also have a gravel driveway that I have to spray.
Tried straight vinegar in my back pack sprayer last year and it works good on the driveway not sure if it would hurt a small tree or not.
 
Good morning, trimmed a few tree limbs yesterday as my two son took my wife to Memphis to gamble, not my thing so I stayed home, a little beat this morning, coffee is not working but I did sleep very good last night, another cup might do it, cup number 3 !!
