I haven't cut any grass in quite a while, but my son and I did do some maintenance last week to get ready for the new season.
Oil change and grease for both Scags and the Grasshopper. New plugs for the Grasshopper. Check tires and air pressure. The blades on all three were changed in October near the end of the season, so they were OK for now.
I had to get a new set of tires (4) for one of the trailers. While we were changing them, checked the bearings, new grease, and tightened them enough to get the wobble out. One trailer still needs a new pigtail for the lights.
Used the Grasshopper pulling the small trailer around the yard while raking pine straw. Pine straw is sorta like government cheese. Everybody wants some, but nobody wants to rake and load.
I raked and hauled 7 trailer loads. About 3 more trailer loads and hopefully I will be done.
I hear some of you up North and Midwest guys may be doing some snow blowing. So far winter has been good to us down here. I hope that means some grass gets to growing in March this year.
