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......

My signature lists my OPE. Favorite has to be the Mantis. I'm incredibly impressed by the quality of the machine, the work it is capable of doing, and the responsiveness of the company that manufactures it.

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.
