Also, the law went into effect 6/5/2025, but they are only going to give warnings (no tickets) until 6/5/2026. I wonder how many people will get killed or maimed over the next 365 days ....

Another agreement here. My son works for a company that sells both Echo and Stihl products (they are the exception, since both of those companies usually require non-competes, but long story about how they got grandfathered in). Their service shops see WAY more Stihls coming in for work, and...

My son runs 2 where he works. He says they are beasts! You do have to turn a little more careful with the tracks, but they actually put down less ground pressure than wheels so you can mow when the subsoil is "wetter" (hope that makes sense).

A+++ on the robo mower - you will love it! They are a little different than what the OP was looking for (and a whole lot more expensive!), but they are a beast. You don't see too many of them going to residential users (mostly municipal) but if you have a need for one it will be a great...

Actually it's because U-Haul has all their trailers destroyed once they reach the end of their useful life. In the past they used to sell them off (like rental car agencies do), but there were a few instances of the new owners causing accidents and deaths. There were many lawsuits, and since...

Well obviously that load is a laugh, but I really like the warning sign on the pumps!!

If you are looking for a company that stands behind their products, and one you can still get parts for, it's hard to beat Deere. Yes you pay more for the parts, but not necessarily for the initial UTV purchase. And their parts prices were coming down lately (before the tariff fiasco). Plus...

Not trying to start a fight, just posting more info. It depends on what you need from the Altoz. The least expensive tracked ride-on model actually starts at $17K (then go as high as $25K): https://altoz.com/tracked-zero-turn-mowers/trx In my area there are a fair amount of used ones anywhere...

This. The 4x4 Deeres are pretty strong .... Or you can look at an Altoz. This is the ride-on but they make a stand-on too (standing might be good for along the pond banks): https://altoz.com/tracked-zero-turn-mowers/trx Or if you have a big checkbook look into a Ventrac or Steiner (also...

https://www.deere.com/en/gator-utility-vehicles/ For lower-cost models look at the "Work" and "Mid-Size" models. For electric (golf-cart type) look at the "Electric Work" models. Or if money is no object (we should be that lucky!), look at the Full-Size XUVs. ADDED IN EDIT: I forgot that Deere...

As others have said the price was too high, but they also marketed it wrong. They put it on the 1500 trucks when it should have been on heavy-duties (on the Suburban/Yukon it actually came on the 2500). For people that tow often, if you ever tried it you would never go back to standard 2WS...

That's it - it's actually called a "power broom". It works great on sidewalks and driveways if you would rather broom than leaf-blow. Also works good as a power squeegee if you need to get water out of your garage (but it can throw it out the front so don't let anyone stand in front of you...

Not trying to start an argument, but has anybody taken a Deere XUV600 or XUV800 "off-road"? I have (and compared it with other brands since my son sells those) and I think you'll find they are just as good, and in some cases better than, the competitors. Now the "original" Gators, which are...

You know that door sticker has nothing to do with how much you can tow, right? You need to look up the GCWR for your truck's configuration. It won't be in the Owner's Manual (they are just generic); you'll have to contact Ford for the info. No matter what your CCC is, you can't legally...

I put a winch on my wench - now I can pull her around .....
