Makes me wonder why you bought that tractor when I'm confident you already owned a shovel and a wheelbarrow
Actually, I own 2 spades and 1 shovel, but no wheelbarrow. The tractor's main job is going to be mowing the lawn because my other mower died.
What you should have retorted is "Why did you buy that mower when you have a pair of scissors." :laughing: I didn't buy it because of any fictional wage, I bought it because I don't have a grass comb to go with the scissors. The MMF (mid-mount flowbee) eliminates the need for the comb.
Bellweather,
If I'm working for you, my time = your money. But whether I vacuum my leaves or use a rake, my bank account balance doesn't change, therefore, my time didn't have any monetary value to me. If I had to take unpaid time off from work to vacuum/rake my leaves, or if I hired someone to do it, then raking my leaves would have monetary value.
Hmmm... if I was raking leaves on the weekend instead of doing something recreational and I opted to take time off during the week to go fishing or something because of that then maybe you could say that raking leaves cost me vacation time.
If I wanted to hire you to come collect my leaves and you couldn't because you were behind on collecting your own and I hired someone else before you could get to it, then collecting your leaves cost you the money you would have earned collecting mine and you could say that your time was worth money in that instance.
You time is only worth money if you are raking instead of doing something that would have earned money. If you are raking instead of typing here or watching the game, then there is no monetary value to it.
I still think that grass catcher is insanely high.
