    Racooooooooooons!!!!!

    My problem is with Possums. They easy to catch in a live trap. Just put a few grains of my cats dry cat food on a small piece of plywood and they fall for it every time. I move them down to the closest creek about 5 miles away

    New season's upon us.

    No! My 2019 Husq 42" cut has been virtually trouble free so far and I hope that continues on>>>>> Here in Louisiana I mowed my lowest part of our yard today and got stuck about 3 times and had to manhandle it out of its rut. That's not good for my old bod. The grass was getting so high I thought...

    Wanting to Grind up some leaves

    I've got a bunch of different kind of trees on my place and some completely shed their leaves at different times in the fall/winter season. I do mine late in order to cover all the leaves in one complete grinding. In fact one part of my yard further away from the house, I burn those leaves...

    Wanting to Grind up some leaves

    Progress!!! Chomped up about 1/3rd of my leaves Saturday. A good start

    Photo of ditch please advise!

    Sounds like a good plan. Main thing is to prevent ruts in center of ditch where it stays wet longer.

    Wanting to Grind up some leaves

    Only air rifle I got is a Daisy Model #96. I'd come more closer getting it by beating him over the head with the stock than shooting ;) On the other hand the sun is out but everything is still too wet to chomp up leaves

    Wanting to Grind up some leaves

    Yelp! I don't know how you guys up north take all the cold weather and snow. Down south it's mild compared to Ohio, but still I'm freezing! Guess I'll blame it on old age. I look forward to warm days on my ol Husq blasting a path through the grass>>>>>>>>🚜

    Wanting to Grind up some leaves

    Yelp, got the same thing in Northwest Louisiana. We got a couple of 70ish days coming up this next week with low chance of rain---think this starts my plan of attack🥷

    If the engine will not start, or runs very poorly, try this.

    You must have smacked something pretty hard o_O

    Wanting to Grind up some leaves

    That green grass is starting to poke through the leaves. Just this morning had three deers munching on the green grass. I'm chomping at the bits wanting to fire up that mower and grind some leaves but the weather hasn't been cooperating. Had enough of this winter cold, come on Spring!!!!!🚜

    Winter Storage

    I thought I had mowed my last time of the very dry mowing season but it started raining again so I had to get mowing again. Now that it's December, I think I can now safely put it away:>)

    Well Mowing season is just about done here

    I'm in North West Louisiana USA about 80 miles south of Shreveport. Most people when they hear Louisiana they think Cajuns, swamps and Alligators but in North Louisiana it's red clay hills, Pine Forest, creeks and Red Necks:>) I don't ever keep up with hours of operation. I just change the oil...

    Well Mowing season is just about done here

    Oh OK! Guess I didn't realize the seasons were that far offset. Well have a happy mowing season! I'm getting ready to run all the gas out of the carb and set it up til next year. Good to meet some one from Australia, welcome to the forum!
