Two acres

Is there any consensus on what might be the best of the Home Depot, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, etc. zero turn mowers? Within those limits, price is not critical. Just can’t handle commercial mower prices. Thank you, Knots

What is the formula for 2 stroke fuel mix ratios? Now use 50:1 and thinking about maybe 40:1 would be easier on equipment. Using Stihl Ultra. Thanks, Knots

Bertrrr, Thanks for reply. I ran a wire from the battery to another starter switch and then to the small contact on the solenoid. This wire has a 10 amp fuse and it worked fine for several years. Then the fuse blew and the key switch which had started working again failed at the same time...

Turf Tiger Model STR61V-26DFI SERIAL K2000422 No crank with key switch. Have replaced key switch, PTO switch, relay, control module under warranty TWICE. Cleaned all connectors and checked all safety switches and fuses. Will run for a while then no crank at key. Once ran fine for a couple years...

On Woods finish mower blades they specify leaving a 1/8 inch unsharpened edge. It may have been 1/16 but my recollection is 1/8. The reason for that can’t be to prevent cutting yourself. A 1/32 flat front edge would not cut you. If the blade is moving fast enough, almost no sharpening would...

Is there any proven benefit to using a richer oil mix than the 50 to 1 that the manufacturer recommends. Please leave the emissions factor out of the discussion. Was there a date or approximate date as to when everyone went to 50 to 1? Just wondering. Thanks, Knots

Has anyone had a problem keeping their Turf Tiger in a straight line? It does not slowly drift one way or the other but moves erratically away from your intended line. Steering shocks have been replaced with new HD units. Would front wheel preload have any bearing on this? Any thoughts would be...

I have two Turf Tigers, both water cooled Kawasakis, that have broken seat-back adjustment bolts. The end of the bolt has broken off inside the seat. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? What is the best way to get to the piece that is broken off the bolt? Looks like the upholstery...

Thank you very much. Will check with local Shindiawa dealer. Original selling dealer is kaput. Thanks for the lead and have a nice day.

Forgot to ask. If I replace the coil, what is the coil to flywheel gap? Have used a matchbook cover but that is not very precise. Thanks again. Shindiawa T282X.

Thanks for your reply. Runs great without vent in place for about ten minutes then quits like you turned the switch off. What are the chances that the coil is getting hot and breaking down? Runs perfectly for 10-15 minutes. Coil kind of expensive but will replace if you think that is the way to...
