I'm looking at getting a zero turn Toro entry level mower. Is there any difference in mowing capability between a 16 HP and a 19 HP that are on the exact same frame and offer the exact same features (besides paying an extra $500)? Even the blade rotation rates are the same.
I would think no difference. the extra 3 HP would be for guys who need to "compensate"
If I had known then what I know now...

I like the push mower...especially since I don't have to rake up the clippings
push it. push it real good.
push mower came with a roller on it...I have the cool lines in my yard.

what kinds of designs have you made?
I tried the checkerboard...but the grass is patchier than a tweenage boy trying to grow a beard. I'll try the front yard this weekend.

My hubs had our daughter mow the lawn today, I helped her by pulling weeds, didn't want her to feel abandoned out there...when I was done and turned to come inside, wouldn't you know my fuckin' ankle gives out and I fall to the ground in a heap...Luckily I didn't land on my new surgically repaired hip, I'm sore all up and down that side though....ugh!

My across the street neighbor I call Forrest Gump, guy makes everyone look bad. Perfect golf course green grass.
Out there every Saturday in his checkered shirt and khakis marching up and down his lawn. Good thing is he has motivated/lawn shamed the rest of us to do the same.

My neighbor mows about every 3 days. Drives us insane.

I am on the every 10 days kick right now. Fucking grass is burning otherwise. I think I am going to invest in a lawn mowing costume. What do you think of this?

10 dimageays kick? huh?

I dislike lawn and grass. A breeding ground for mosquitos, pecker Maya
Disregard.....
My big fingers got in the way on my "Smart Phone" and somehow I hit the"post" button.
What I meant to say was a breeding ground for mosquitos, pecker nats and all things itchy !.....
But......
I was just kidding and had nothing to contribute to this wonderful grass and lawn thread of which I'm a tad bit jealous because my grass sucks..... so forget this ever happened and carry on

Haha, somehow I inserted 'image' in the middle of the word days. I didnt mow this weekend and while it is a bit long it is not burnt and looks better than short/burnt imo. It also was too hot to wear the mowing costume.
I'm letting the grass die...some of the weeds are turning black, but some are still little evil yellow blobs in the grass *grrr!* at least they will be easier to pull since the ground is so dry.

Holy rain Batman. I mowed just a few days ago and it needs it again already!

You have sprinklers? I know we dont live too far apart and my lawn is pretty brown in a few spots. Most of my neighbors water their lawns but I do not. Actually I moved this weekend and it had been 3 weeks...and could barely tell in many spots. Needed the rain we got the past few days.
