I don't have to mow next door anymore.. and there is an area between them and us. that I don't know any more.. but I still have too much to mow.


I do need to mow more often than I would like, but living in a 'development' you have too. Besides, the clipping a much smaller if you mow often. My yard (especially the back) looks like it has windrows of grass after Saturday. I should have raked it up and hauled it down back, but just did not feel like it at the time. :oops:


yeah.. I understand that in living in some places it is sort of important.. thankfully I don't have to worry.. :D

You need a welder so you can fab something on the brush hog or on the tractor. How about just strapping it on the hood?? :)


I would like to have it on the tractor itself.. there are times it would be nice with the box scraper also. besides if it was on the bush hog it would get shaken to death.. :o

I need a new bladder for my camel back. the race yesterday had only one spot that it was safe to drink. At the start finish line. we did a little loop around an old tennis court. so each lap.. you could drink there.. but otherwise NO.

Very true! You might see if you could rig something up behind the seat where you could put the saw! :thinking:

I tried in one other spot.. I got the bottle out and drank ok.. but when I went to try and put it back.. dang.. it was very bumpy and rooty again.. so I try to hand onto the handle bar and the bottle at the same time.. and I was getting a cramp in my hand.. and then on each root.. the bottle was banging my shift lever.. and shifting it to a harder gear... :o :o not good :no:

I think that I need a new bladder too, and it has nothing to do with camels!! :D

Never tried the Camelback, just old fashion bottles for me.

yeah.. I will have to look again.. but I think anything there would be in the way of my snowblower.. although I don't have to worry about backhoe access.

I would have to make it easy to remove.

Mountain biking it is nice.. because you can drink without using your hands.. just a quick grab to put the tube in your mouth.. and then back to the bars.

Just some kind of bracket and then use bungees to hold the saw on.

they had cold cups of water at the start finish line.. I think it when I headed out for my final lap I grabbed one.. took a drink and then poured it over my head.. which felt great.. but then I noticed it was washing the sweat into my eyes.. and made my glasses so I could not see out of them... :? :?

Do you have room to run something from fender to fender behind the seat?? Use some kind of quick connection to fasten it on.

my seat is pretty far back in comparison to the fenders... and my ROP.. is sort of close also.. so I can't span that without it hitting me. If I hung it off the back of that maybe... :thinking:
