What Is Your OPE? (moved from community chat forum)

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?

Well, since I brought this back to the top I guess I should say that if I actually owned any OPE I would have a few of my favorites, that's for sure. If I had a lawn I would have the Husqvarna YTH1542XP or YTH1848XP (depending on the size lawn), for a grass trimmer/brushcutter - it's a toss up between the Husqvarna 325RX and the Shindaiwa C230, I like the performance of both of these machines, for a tiller definitely a Mantis, for a chainsaw, Shindaiwa has a couple of new smaller saws out that are easy to start so I'd probably go with the Shindaiwa 285s (28cc's not like I need to do firewood, that's what Chris is for  ) or RedMax's little G4000. I think that about covers it for now. Sherri

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...... AZ

Gravely garden tractor mowing update... Got to the lot in Vt... had rained... wet 6-8" tall grass... talked w/ 2 neighbors with Craftsman lawn/garden tractors... ~~ 38-44" cuts... said they tried to mow their ~~4" of grass... but clogged... clumped... gave up... Put new blades on the Gravely... mowed 1+ acres of wet grass with the 5-foot deck... no clumps... no clogs... but plenty of buildup under the deck... It's all in the design ! heeeee... heeee.... Guess I'll stop eyeballin' the Craftsman mowin' tractors at Sears... Dave...

I wonder what it would take to install A/C into a small compact tractor.  There are after market A/C units that they use in vintage cars that would might work.
