Having fun cutting grass.

[The Gears]

New to the board, Hi all.
Have a new Cub Cadet and love it.
My yard is loaded with lots of gardens and walkways.
The 180 Deg. turn around takes 1/2 Hour of the grass mowing job. With the old mower I had to go back and forth a few times to turn around in a tight spot, not any more.
I think I will learn from the board and may even contribute.

Welcome to TBN!!! I love cutting grass (when the allergies are not bad ).

My new cub is a i1046.
Purchased from Home Depot in Canada.
The rig had been return with a problem of smoking when running and a strong smell of burning rubber. List was $2,595.00. They said make an offer for as is. OK how about $1,500.00. SOLD, take it away. I did.
At the store I had looked under the frame and saw rubber flecks on the cutting deck. The problem was a too long belt that was rubbing at the back of the belt at the idler pulley. A new belt 1.5" shorter did the trick. I explained the problem to the store manager, we checked out the fifteen in stock. All but two had long belts. I went in after closing and we changed all the belts. What did I get out of this. A nice new 8'
dumping trailer with a ramp tail gate and a regular gate for two hundred bucks. Thats 1/4 of the retail price.

Swing by my place later and have some fun.
We have had 8" of rain in a month and just before it started I put down a hefty amount of fertilizer.
At the moment, it's not fun.

HI you guys. Here is a pic of my super Home Depot bargain.
In an earlier post I told of getting a i1040 for almost half price and a trailer for a way less than half price.
Get to know your Home Depot manager.
