That's what I'm going with!

This Spring...my ZeroTurn mysteriously developed a battery fire that engulfed the entire unit. I believe it was Putin's fault. wink

Total loss.

Had to replace it. Not inexpensive.

That's bad luck right there. Which model Skagg burned up and what model did you replace it with?

Skaggs are great! Somebody should have snatched up that like new used Tiger Cat on here a few months ago.

By that pic, no denying that’s your son Wade!!!!! Good looking kid, enjoy it while you can, they grow up too fast!!!!!


Thank you sir.

He’s a handful, never sits still and gets bored after 5 minutes of watching TV, but he’s a blast to spend time with and wants nothing more than to be by my side.

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

I guess it all depends how much you mow and how much you like to mow.
I hate mowing and keep 3-4 acres around our house, barns, and even the front along the highway cut. So, I went with a 61" Skag Cheetah about 4 years ago and it was the best investment I've made in a long, long time.
What used to take me 4-5 hours on a 46" zero turn now takes 1-1.5 hours and looks like a golf course when I'm done. The damn thing cuts so fast and so good that if my little 4 acre front coastal field starts out in the spring with a few weeds in front of the grass, I jump on the Cheetah and cut it at 3" in about 1 hour instead of getting on the tractor and hooking up the bush hog. lmao

Yep, my place is 5 acres plus I mow outside the fence on two sides. Lots of obstacles (house, guest house, garage, barn, pool, LOTS of trees). I used to mow this place with a regular lawn tractor, I practically lived on that lawn mower.....then there's all of the weed eating etc....upgrading to a zero turn was like night and day. Still takes time, but nothing like before.

Only downside I’ve found to the zero turn is they tend to get stuck a lot easier in the sand.

Geez Louise.


Maybe try waiting a while? I heard that this inflation thing was transitory and should be over soon.
