The decision was made that whenever the economic stimulus nonsense money came he was going to go buy a lawnmower. Ever since winter ended and the lawn became a chore to deal with again he has been chomping at the bit to get a mower. We've had various mowers. A John Deere lasted a long time, whatever the yellow thing was we had after that ended up going to my daughter's house. Once all the kids moved out we've been paying the neighbor kids to mow all summer and they've been using their zero turn mower to do it. Since they are also grown and moving away we were either going to have to pay someone else or go buy a mower to do it ourselves. Larry couldn't WAIT to pick one of these puppies out.
He has been talking about these things for months now. We were actually trying to look at something Lowes had when the pandemic nonsense was announced and all heck broke loose at the grocery store on the way home. He is finally settled on a Country Clipper brand mower. He keeps telling me about welded decks.....brands of mowers.....why a joystick is a good idea.......and I keep listening to him and just nodding my head.
We finally got the little card in the mail signalling the government is here to help and everything is going to be ok......so off to the outdoor tractor place he's gone. I can tell you guys right now, in about an hour I'll be standing in my driveway looking at a very happy man who will be rambling on about this gadget and all its glory.

I for one , am envious of his good fortune .
Agreed......my only qualm about the whole stimulus thing has been that my name is nowhere on it. I didn't realize they were sending out cards until my uncle called to warn me that he almost tossed his out with the junk mail. We got it and it only had Larry's name on it. It wasn't until he checked it and saw it had $2400 on it that we knew it was paying for both of us.
I think he made a great decision. I've heard all about these things for a while now and they sound like a really good outfit to buy from.
We need pictures as soon as he gets home. What model did he get?
Women, go figure.
I know mowing is a matter of pride with some to me its a chore I dislike
I still use a 8n ford and a 6' finish mower and a 48" cut cub cadet " riding mower" and of course a push mower for the small areas .
however my son just bought a zero turn JD and loves it , he says it cut his mowing time way down ( and wear and tear on my mower LOL )
They gave him a break in price because it was "last year's" model. So, it was $3400 instead of $3900. I think he's just as happy to have our trailer back home as the mower. We bought that thing several years ago and every family member has used it for who knows what since then. His dad was using it to take his mower up to the church and do the grass up there, but eventually it became what my brother in law used to get round bales of hay to his cows. The poor trailer doesn't look anything like it did when we paid for it.
on getting the trailer back home know that very well
I have owned at least one trailer or another for years one I had to track down many years ago a friend borrowed it then loaned it to his brother to a cousin to a friend of a friend and .... but I did get it back it was a bit funny in a way ( not really but had to just laugh ) as every one knew it was mine and kept saying as they passed it on to the next one in line Dave wont mind ..
I have three trailers now but tell every one if you use it then get it back to me asap or never ask again , I also got tired of replacing tires ,,brakes ,and lights ( especially lights) I am just too easy when it comes to helping others
Tell Larry congratulations. That is an awesome mower for that price. I wish you lived closer so I could see it in person. I’m going to be in the market for a new mower soon and that one is looking good to me right now.
