Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I picked this up today from the dealer that sold me my tractor. It's a basic 3 in 1 push mower, but it should work just fine
for the trim work I'll be doing. It  really has a nice solid feel to it.  Good cut too. Ran me $249. I like it. I think we are going
to get a break from the rain this week. I'll get some play time in.                         Kevin

Kevin, looks nice, especially for that price! Now you have two new mowers, one you can ride. Love it! 

Thanks Marshall. I thought that was a decent price for that mower. For trim work it'll be great with the rear bagger. Keep the grass off the sidewalks and fast clean up. Hey, thats 3 mowers. I didn't bail the old Simp yet. May keep it as part of the team.  LOL

That does look like a real nice mower.  My favorite color is orange.   How much do you want for that older Simplicity if you were to sell it? 

Real nice mowers they are.  We have 1 left in stock for this season with others just a days order away.  There's only a few people around here that have mowed yet, but we had tons of rain and now the sun is out.  Good grass growing weather.

Hi AJace. I'll be holding onto it for now. If that changes I could PM a price. I've already had a few inquires from a few people. Well the suns out for now. Think I'll go test the husky some more.

That's a good choice Kevin. 

Vangellis, does that Briggs engine have the new carb where you do not have to use a choke or prime? If so, how does it start?

And I forgot to say, NICE set up for cutting grass!!! That is a good combo for sure!

looks like a nice mower for trim work. $249? Thats not too bad for a machine that bags too. Well, I hope that you like it!

Hi Brian. No, it has a primer. Intek OHV. Runs pretty smooth. I put the mower through a lot today and am very happy with the way it performed. Man, it was caked with dust.                                      Kevin

WOW Kevin!!! You're really stimulating the economy up there in PA!!

The "Husky" looks like a fine machine at a nice price! Happy Mowing!

Marty

Kevin, were you bagging or mulching on it's virgin run? Does it use the same blade for both or do you need a seperate blade for one or the other?

Hi Marshall. I was bagging. It bags, mulchs, or side discharges. I liked the option of having all 3 and it's quick and easy to go from one to the other in a matter of a few seconds. It has a mulching blade in it. According to the dealer the only thing you can't do is mulch with a regular blade. Duh

Thanks Marty. I'm done stimulating to economy for a while. I cut my lawn with the Conquest today. Then I pulled out the old  Simplicity and cut the neighbors paths through her woods and fields. Finished up with some trim work on my yard with the Husky. After I parked them all back in the shed and was closing the doors, I took a nice long look at "Team Dempsey" LOL.
I realized that I was lucky to have aquired the new OPE and grateful that I was able to do so.

Kevin, are you going to detail it any?  I can see adding some bullet hole stickers to my LT, how about you? 

Hi Ajace. No I don't think so. I kind of like them the way they are. When I was thinking of getting an engine for the parts mower I thought of getting a new paint job and adding flames to the hood. I think that would have looked real good.

Me too.

If you add flames, make sure they are watter proof.
