riding lawn mower?

chris n

How many HP do you guys suggest for a riding mower to cut a 1/2 acre of lawn,the yard has alot of rolling hills with a few fairly steep climbs.I was thinking Husqvarna,what do you think?

Answer
Husqvarna makes the Craftsman mowers. MTD makes Cub, White, Troy-Built, Yard man, Yard Machines, Bolens, and the new Toro tractors. The John Deeres in Lowes and Home Depot are made to last 250 hours and be tossed. That is all the "discount" brands.

If you are looking for a mower go to a dealer, even if its John Deere. The dealer can service the machine after the sale. Most will even deliver for free. They know the machines and the feature that will work for your conditions and situation in your yard. You are going to talk to someone who knows exactly what they are talking about, and not someone who will be in paint tomorrow.

I would recommend a Snapper of a Simplicity. Simplicity has a mower called the Regent that is 18 HP with a 38" deck, and sells for $1999. You are not going to find many machines under 15 HP.

lawn mower exhaust?

carolina_t

The exhaust on my push mower snapped off today. I got the end bit out that screws into the mower, but the actual exhaust has snapped off. Would it be safe to still mow my lawn without it?

Answer
It will of couse be noisey so you should wear hearing protection. You also need to look at where the exhaust will go. You don't want the hot exhaust to blow on something that will burn or be damaged from the heat. My suggestion would be to fix it properly before you use it. You can get mufflers for most mowers at Lowe's, Home Depot, or even Wal Mart.

Can I make a home made lawn striper for my riding lawn mower?

Aztec

I cant seem to make my lawn look professional. I think if i could make something that can attach to the mower that would bend the grass it would look better (like the mowers at the golf course). Can I make something like this. I really don't want to spend the money.

This is what i would like my yard to look like. http://www.scag.com/lawnstriping.html

Answer
id make a deal that goes on the back of the mower with a flap the length of the mower

id make the flap out of baler belt because i have a ton of it laying around then set it so it runs in the grass far enough down that when your moving it pulls teh grass one way

I dont know much about this but hopefully you can get one made

Answer
It looks like it's just a roller you attach behind the mower. Try finding something like that.
