As some of you know, I got an Echo PB-770T last summer. It performed flawlessly last fall, but as winter approached it started to not want to turn OFF. At the beginning it was just that it sputtered for a few seconds when you pressed the kill switch and then turned off, but as the weeks...

It's been in the 70+ all week....80 degrees the past 2 days. It won't be long until I'm back out mowing. The past 3 years I've started between March 25th and April 15th depending on how the weather has been. Looks like this year will be one of the earlier ones. Spent the day today...

Let me start this off my saying I am fine if it doesn't snow this whole winter. But hearing talk about this first snow still gets me excited to do some snowblowing.

Finished the majority of my lawns' last cut of the year. Have a few jobs that I wasn't able to get done today that I have to do tomorrow, but then my season is over. The rest of tomorrow will be spent winterizing my equipment and rotating the equipment around in the garage.

Essentially there are no differences. None that matter in my opinion. I have the K3 and the K5, and the only differences I notice are that the red engine cover is a slightly different shape, they went with a black pull rope instead of white, and the exhaust cover differs slightly. I don't know...

A photo showing a small part of my biggest leaf job. Today it had the most leaves so far this fall, and I got the time down to 2.5 hours total. I figured out more efficient patterns now that it's my 3rd week on the property. Also a photo of a leaf job where the municipality doesn't take leaves...
