lawn

Hello everyone. I have a question about choosing equipment for creating a lawn. There are two options: a cultivator or a power rake. If I use a cultivator, I can grind everything and get a quick result with medium leveling. However, the downside is that the depth of the soil is 4-6 inches, which...

Two weeks ago I picked up a 20 year old pre-emission tractor to use to mow my fields. I still need to save more pennies to buy a 8’ finish mower to pull behind it … It's a 2005 Kubota L5030 HSTC. I think paint should be shiny, and I used to simonize/clean cars when I was a teenager … so, I...

Get ready to laugh, but in the last 20 years of owning a few nice riding mowers with 54” 3-blade decks, I hadn’t ever noticed the distinct “line” left between blades (see pics). Why am I just seeing this now? Obviously the blades can’t overlap, they’d hit each other. Is the deck height so low...

I absolutely LOVE this thing!!! I bought it new in March of 2024. It was a leftover model and I got a great deal on it. I’m a homeowner and do not cut grass commercially. The engine is a 24 hp Kawasaki FR730V. The single fuel tank holds 5.1 gallons of gas. It has the Commercial 10 gauge...

Our area has the worst flea problem ever and I bought Bifen granules to try to control them. I want to do a little over an acre of my property and don.t want to have to walk the whole area a hundred times if it only distributes them in an area about 2 feet wide. Looking them up on the internet...

I have been looking at the 28" single spindle Bellon over at Earth Tools. Lawn Mowers - Earth Tools I got the little BCS walking tractor used with a nice 26" Del Morino bush hog and a tiller last year. Love it. Thinking about adding that little mower for 3-4 hills I can't get my zero turn or...

I'm getting to the point in my new home project that I want to start fixing up my lawn. But it's about 10 acres worth... I have a small area around my house where hay was fed back when there were cows on it, so there are a few stands of good Bermuda. I feel like I can get the close area around...

Well I finally got my first mow in. 3 acres to start... Have another 2 to go with the trail mower. Applied Barricade back in March, as well as a general purpose fertilizer. In the next couple weeks I'll get the Trimec 992 down. Fuel prices are down, so it only cost $30 to fill the mower 😂

Wondering what some of you might be doing as far as 1 for all lifts to do do maintenance work on UTV, RTV, Lawn Tractors. My bones no longer like me on the ground due to serious health issue and although I have room for a car lift, was looking for something much smaller and more versatile. Maybe...

Have any of you used taper lock bushings to repair the John Deere LA115 lawn mowers rear wheels to secure them to the transmission shafts when the steel wheels keyways have worn away? My newer E100 rear axle is identical to the LA115 rear axle. Thanks much, leonz

Hi All, I have a Deere L130 lawn tractor that is at the end of its useful life. Last summer I was going to replace it with the equivalent Deere product. I called the 2 closest Deere dealerships, talked with a couple salesmen, and never heard back. I even emailed the dealerships. No replies. I...

Ok, I have been using a zero-turn for 17 years. I am happy with my current one as well because of the nice seat and the speed it cuts. However, I still sometimes like the idea of a nice, big, comfortable, riding mower to cut grass with. It seems the consensus on here is that zero-turns are the...

What is the difference between the LT and LX models. Also the GT vs. GX.

Hello I am trying to fix my sisters old 1998 DYT4000 It run fine the problem is when I turn on the PTO the mower shuts off If it’s the seat switch Is there any way to bypass it without cutting wires and is there any other things that I should look for The brake safety switch has been...

Hello folks, After giving up on my 314 and sending it on down the line, I am without a mower; this hasn't been a problem, but it'll need to be rectified before we get into Spring. My lawn, if you could call it that, would currently be about an acre on a just under 2 acre property. It barely...

I have a portion of my lawn that turns into thick nasty mud when it rains. I'm wondering if throwing some pelletized lime on it to try to firm up the soil is a good solution or not. Anybody have any opinions?
