Sorry I'm slow to introducing myself. Wife had surgery a couple weeks ago and I've been occupied with her. She's doing well. My rider seized last fall and I have a half acre to maintain. At 61 I wasn't thrilled about a walk behind, but my finances dictated otherwise. After researching, I settled on this mower. I've included a couple of pics. I'll be adding more info later, but it's 52 degrees and I'd rather be ridin than mowing or typing. Geezer:wink:
