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?

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.

Hope the grass isn't that tall this weekend... !       Goin' to VT to mow... should be less than 6" tall... mowed two weeks ago there... grass was ~~20+" tall... ugggghhhhh... cut up another good partial-can of beer and cuzzie can-cooler !  Vibrations move it off the tractor !...  Gotta' pay more attention... or drink faster... ! LOL...

Plan on puttin' on new sharp blades b / 4 mowin'... hope the weather is nice !

Been thinkin' about a NEW mowin' tractor... or 6' 3-pt-hitch finish mowing deck for the Kubota... but... I just really like the ole' Gravely with it's 5' deck... Nostalgia... old iron attraction...  or somethin' !...

That Gravely is a nice mowing tractor.  It's also nice to know that you have that nice Kubota tractor, with maybe an A/C system installed sometime?  That would be real handy when it's way to hot to mow.

I would have to say that my Echo Split Boom trimmer/edger is right up there with my favorite OPE. It's nice to just have one piece with two attachments, makes premium equipment more affordable as well.

No A/C in the Kubota... but does have a small fan... and a cab to keep some of the sun off me...

I wonder what it would take to install A/C into a small compact tractor.
