Being kinda new here, I figured it would be kinda cool to share some pictures of your OPE collection  and describe what kind of yard you have. I will start it off: I live in Wantagh Long Island NY. My house is on a corner and my property is 85 x 112 ft. (lots of sidewalk!) And around here, it is a contest to see who has the nicest yard  Lots of people hire it done and I used to do the same for 2 years but the pro's can never do as good of a job as me  The Pressure Washer, Mower, Snowblower, and the Echo blower were all purchase since I joined this awesome forum! Look what you guys have done!!!!  Outdoor Power Equipment group shots. I just cleaned up all my equipment and changed the oil/filters and gave them all the once over. Back row From left to right... Troy Built 4.75HP pressure washer, 4.5HP Craftsman Yard Vac, MTD 3.5HP edger, Bradley 32" 12.5 HP Mower, Ariens 8.5HP Snowblower...
 Front row: Homelite line trimmer (cheap but it works) and Echo BP200 Blower
 So far, I am very happy with this equipment (The Snow Blower has not been used yet) The only thing I would have purchased different is my line trimmer. I would have went with an Echo straight shaft. OK...Now I showed you mine, lets see yours!!!

Nice slide show! And you have great taste in snow blowers and leaf blowers As for cocky? Nah...they think I am crazy  Like I really need a mower that big for my yard Here is my neighbors yard after 65K! It is a lousy picture and I stiched it together (notice the fence didn't line up). That deck that is behind the tree on the left is 3 levels. There is like 15 large soft globe lights and of course speakers throught. They have a ton of parties! Very nice IMHO but they pay over 15 thousand a year in taxes...so I am keeping my house as is!

The Craftsman sounded cool! I just love the sound of blades engaging! As for the Echo...well it sounds like mine OK here are some pictures of my house... This is the left side and the area where I took the shots of the OPE.  This shot is the front of the house...notice all the bags out front? That is 10 days worth of clippings! I am mowing grass every 5 days and it is high when I cut it!  This is the right side and it shows the garage  And I own 6 feet to the right of the garage  And this is a PITA to mow around!!!  This was not shot today and shows my daughters pink chalk on the concrete  And last but not least...the new shed that houses all of my OPE!  For all of my pictures (hobbies and whatnot) Cut and paste this link: http://www.pbase.com/cleanmaxx_brian

Thanks everyone!  As for the kids, we have a rule...take it out and you have to put it back (Which loosely translates to kids take it out and Dad puts it away!) When I come home from work, I pick up the yard before I enter the house. I found that if I stay on top of it, it is less overwhelming. As for the edging, yea it is all over!!! I go through 4 blades a year! And to think, when I bought this place, I tried to do it with a manual hand edger! I made it 12 feet and drove to Home Depot!!! The shed is 12 x 16 so there is plenty of room for a tractor. It is however filling up fast! Mike, nice collection! Looks like you put your money right where it counts! Your Bridges mower looks a lot like my Bradley. How has it been holding up for you? Are both mowers belt drive? And one last question, what do you use to pull your trailer?
