    Seriously, guys...what do you really think??

    Wow, lots to think about on this deal. I will admit I was interested in doing it mostly for my own education, and some for good beef. We bought two...

    Re: Any use for a push mower?

    I did keep it, and I'm glad I did. My lawn tractor does not fit inside the horse walker pen, so the pusher is the only way to go.

    I have two friends that want to go in with me on this. I have the...

    I realize this thread is supposed to be about the new dog, but what kind of cat is that? That's the coolest looking cat I've ever seen. It looks huge!

    Can I have it?

    Like MRB above, we have a Harman P-61 2 also. We just moved in last fall, so I only have one winter of use with it, but it worked great. We inherited it with the house, but if the previous owner put...
