I think you're right, Egon. I used to think the more tools I had, the better. But you know I bought a little Toro ZTR a couple of years ago and knew it was overkill at the time, but it is fast and easy. Then when we moved to this place, I bought a little 4 x 8 trailer with the fold down gate on the back that I can drive the mower onto. Of course the trailer was handy for moving and since then I've hauled the ZTR to my daughter's place one time, and I recently hauled a very light, but bulky load of stuff about a hundred miles for a brother-in-law and that's the only time the trailer has been used. Then I recently bought a Craftsman dethatcher and an Agri-Fab lawn sweeper to tow behind the ZTR. Now we're living in a house on a 70' x 130' lot and I've got about $4,200 invested in the ZTR, trailer, dethatcher, and lawn sweeper. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I just told my wife a couple of days ago that I thought if someone would give me about $2,700 for the whole shootin' match, I'd sell it and go back to a walk behind self propelled rear bagger lawnmower.
