So..... after the MD appt, and prior to picking up groceries. I went to Home depot and bought a tiny riding lawn mower and the metal cart. I was surprised in reading tons of reviews about different lawn tractors/mowers that alot of them do not have more than a 4 star rating? I wonder why that is. I only have .26 acres so this should be fine for that. I will at least feel less stressed about the yard getting mowed. It's supposed to be delivered Friday. I dont have somewhere to put it under roof currently... so I ordered a fitted covering for it. My back yard is ridiculous currently. Can't wait to take care of it. I was thinking about making a pass at the highest setting and then another at a lower setting.... 2 if needed.
I want to know where you fellas that work, and do things for your family and significant others hang out/hide out. Lol
Which mower did you buy? I don't remember if I posted my thrashing of Cub Cadet here or not. From HD's lineup, not counting the Dewalt commercial beasts...
Cub Cadet, Troy Bilt and Craftsman are owned by MTD. You will see that they all look alike. Stanley Black and Decker is in the process of buying MTD if they haven't already. That can be good or bad, as Stanley has a 3.5 star brand in my opinion in Dewalt, but they also have a 0 star brand in Black and Decker.
I don't have experience with anything Ryobi makes.
I looked at the Toro riding models, but for the price, they don't include an hour meter except for the highest priced mower. Their warranty is unlimited hours for the stated period, but that doesn't help if reselling it. That stopped me from buying it.
Weibang doesn't offer any customer service that I could find.
I liked my John Deere, but sold it to buy the Cub Cadet electric, which was my nightmare since April. The only (Hindsight) drawback now about the John Deere is there is no service locations here, I would have to drag it about 100 miles.
I hired the neighbor's ADULT son for the rest of the season because there is no such thing as a kid that wants to work these days. They just want to play the video games... I will save you from the soapbox about me selling Apples all around the greater 5 block section of town as a 7 year old to pay the bills.
I want to do more research on the E-GO electric mower from Lowe's, if they ever get them back. Their batteries can be removed and used in other stuff they make, and they look superior to the Ryobi electric.
