Kyle does have a nice yard for sure! How is the retaining wall holding up,
Four wheel turning mower. I’ll go look at those,

Commercial zero turn is wayyyy overkill for 10k ft of grass man.
If you’re worried about maneuverability, look at the Deere 4wheel steer models. I have the x354 and it works great. Mows right inside and outside radiuses, excellent at mowing tight circles around trees too. Only downside to 4wheel steer models is it’s difficult to mow straight lines, if that matters to you

Don I don’t think the forum is paying out enough as a DOT to drop 12k on a mower this year or next.
A friend is a golf course equipment sales who does have three upgrade trade in Deere mowers the z950. About 12k new but he would part with one for 4K he said but that like yours, a big monster!!! I have 10,000 sq feet of grass not acres like you guys.
My lean towards a z turn machine is the maneuverability so I don’t have to edge or use the small mower to clean edges. The lawn tractors are more affordable but they come with the clean up issues

Do you think the 60’ is worth the extra vs a 48’ 52’. Lots of sizes I am seeing. Anything over 36 I’ll have to open a car gate anyway.
The bigger the mower the more space it will take up in my garage also

Who has them?
What do you like about the one you have?
Why did you pick that mower over another?
What do you think is a mid grade price to look?
Kabota has some pretty decent looking mowers but to be honest I have used the exact same Honda walk behind mower for all my life. Honda mowers are fantastic until you spend three hours mowing one yard.
Thanks in advance for info.
No ponds in my yard so no floatation needed,

Must have old beater trucks. I know bikes can be pricey, but new for new?
I’ve had some pretty nice bikes purchased new, never owned a new truck. But yeah 3k to start the. You start adding the shinny parts and next thing you know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol exactly like downhill, that was fun until you had to ride the bike back to the top, That’s when I sold the pedal bikes that cost what my motor bike cost, more power, better suspension and I can sit and twist the throttle

I do a fair amount of that too, some of these young kids will look at a shoot and say no way, One of my favorite spots in Mountain View Wyoming, Spend a hour or so trying best a hill until it’s complete or the trail is so blown out you can’t get even past your previous attempt.

Very nice work, but still want to know where the hot water on demand tank vents?
Dave, when I built mine I put a big utility box on the tongue that held most of it.
I have the location for all of it I just honestly look at the electrical task as a nightmare. Wiring anything has always been daunting. I can do almost every other portion of a build myself but electronic wiring leaves like a millennial holding a shovel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I do!! Horsepower is the reason men do most things, I used to have a “ hill shooter” banshee, it wasn’t the fastest but I would give some older guys a good run because I didn’t have any Lbs to my name. That rush of smashing gears up a massive sand hill barely hanging on, hoping you don’t miss a gear, and whoopin an ol man crap talker because I was a punk kid.
I do the same now on some much more narrow ridges and more technical trails similar rush less expensive

Got the yard all leveled out and grated. Smooth as a baby’s bottom.
55 yards spread.
Turned on the sprinklers tonight and have good water pressure finally. Time to screw on the heads and cover them up with dirt.

With this proper setup, the AC will require I run the generator since its amp draw is immense and the battery could not maintain voltage very long at all. I will, however still have 115VAC on all the outlets without shore power (or with) or the gen set running.
Finally, that is all buttoned up and complete

With concrete poured I ordered 4.5 loads of top soil, 55 yards or so.. the only thing I asked the stupid truck drive to not hit was... hit.  He also ignored where I told him to dump the loads into the yard, Two stack on top if each other was not spread out, So more tractor work. Front yard is spread as of 11pm. Tomorrow the back yard Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Concrete was poured, everyone who said they would come did, it’s finished and looks great!    I even had enough to finish the RV pad area on the front of the house. Cement was short loaded so when we called back we got three extra yards on a second return to plant truck. Free mud is nice!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dave we were able to run the trencher three feet deep. Only to see if it would, I was pretty surprised.
The track length on each side was different, the side with the longer track had more go I guess. After I noted the off line I started feathering the right side and holding the left. Like a skid steer with a flat tire

150/yard for concrete? yikes
btw 9200x .24=$2208. Is math different in SLC ?
My first math was advertised price of .30 plus the delivery fee. Yeah I rounded up to $3k. I then didn’t bother to finish remath sorry Ken, Further info from the guy he is going to wave the delivery fee and maybe break it up into two deliveries so I have more time to place the sod. I think he said 400 each pallet. 23 pallets of sod is going to Suck! As for the concrete I did 6.5 bag engineered mix with 1/4% calcium and some hot water. So my base price of $115 a yard is up and the tax me for Saturday delivery of $75 So tax plus the Saturday and addition of calcium+hot water for a higher Psi of mud. Yeah it’s a bit more. Joe blows cost up here for concrete is about $165 plus your additions

Today we figured out how much sod would be, need roughly 9200 sqr feet of sod at $.24 a foot. I am just under $3000. What a relief that was, in my head I was over 6k in grass only!!
Cement is ordered for Saturday @8:00am six yards for $925.

I wouldn’t recommend giving it to a youngster, They get nothing from freebies lol,
The smaller “toy” trucks are to small for my feet under the dash. Won’t ever own a anything less then a full-size. Tex seems to get good revs from his white truck, I completely understand cab room.
I’d stay in the GM or Ford wheelhouse. No way would I buy a dodge with the stupid computer updates that killed all power and torque gained by the eco diesel. GM has yet to give an update that catastrophic to my knowledge

So far so good on the yard front Trenched in all of the sprinklers, the water stand pipes, then covered and compacted all trench lines    Tonight me and the wife moved 8 ton of gravel to the fire pit area, leveled and placed rebar to be tied tomorrow eve  Ordered 3 inches of top soil, 55yrds or 5 trucks roughly for about $1400 bucks that will be delivered on the 20th.

i love the way a supercharger sounds and feels. drove my terminator the other day (mostly stock with a few goodies..) and it’s just immediate but smooth power. and you can’t beat the sound. a SC burb on 35s cruising down the highway or making a rolling 25 MPH pull will really take people by surprise
From a 25 mph roll it will break the tires free (I am told) ;-)
