How many engines do you own

[flyerdan]

I count 37 by a quick list. No way that all of them run or are in service, only around 8 or 9 get run on a regular basis right now. Went through a phase of never meeting a free mower that I didn't like a while ago, it got kind of out of hand.

I would second the "too many" observation. I have a rich brother, who has owned 3 airplanes, a helicopter, multiple trucks, motorcycles and cars, and all the stuff that goes with it- all at once. He realized that it bothered him that he couldn't "take care" of his stuff (something we inherited from our father- a curse or blessing, depending) himself, and that bothered him, so he simply cut back here and there. Still has more than most of us, but then, he's rich.

It starts to get to " Who owns who".

To deal with the issue of oil changes as the OP mentioned, try synthetic and stretch the intervals. I used to change way too frequently until I switched to synthetic oil. in effect, I eliminate half my work because of the synthetic extended intervals. Works for me.

1 push mower
1 weed eater
1 chainsaw
5 generators (yea I know, I'm selling one or two)
2 zero turn mowers
1 deisel tractor

After putting this list together I think I see why the wife says I need to stop collecting things. Maybe this was a bad idea to make the list.
