What Is Your OPE? (moved from community chat forum)
Original Message Jan 16, 2005 11:42 pm

I have a Stihl FS250R Trimmer, 725R Ryobi Trimmer, Toro Ultra 225 Blower, Black&Decker Edge Hog, Scotts 6.5HP Self Prepelled Mower, Murray 8HP Rear Engine Rider. So what is yours. The last time I asked this on WTB, hardly anyone posted. So lurkers, get yourself out the door and post! What is your OPE?

For me it's definitely my Simplicity Conquest. It's just a real solid performing machine and comfortable. As for my wish list, that was on top of it, the Conquest. So I'm just grateful I was able to get my "dream machine".

What I have is listed below. I love the Toro snowblower and would buy it again. The LT is satisfactory, considering it's a cheap one but a much nicer one is certainly on my wish list...maybe a Legacy XL or a GT235, if only I could hit those six numbers......

I have a 1970 Ariens Sno Thro that has benn "hot rodded" with a 7.5 Intek Snow and 5" Snow Hog tires.
And a 1995 Ariens ST824 with replacement engine.
And a Poulan weed whacker.

And I don't have any grass, or even a driveway....

Oh yeah I forgot the winter season. Don't know how I could have done that we had a fire last night to take the chill out of the house - it is the middle of June right????? For snow blowing I would take a Snapper blower. I'd have to go with the one of the larger models so I wouldn't have to be outside for that long in the cold and the snow.
