Finally. Finally you mention what I thought you would have spoken first - Kohler, which I thought was your employer, and about whom you seem to rave, in past years. We have a Bobcat Ransomes 48" walk behind with 14hp Kohler I/C that we have used for 15 years, purchased new. Gets around all trees & shrubs. Does not lug 150 pound human on it, as it is walk behind. We went in to the local shop - use local as you have said, Dan - and we told him we had 2.5 acres to mow, he looked at me and counseled a walk behind. I have legs, my sons have legs, we walk. Totally maneuverable moreso than a tractor. As someone else mentioned, get a single purpose machine for lawn, then another machine for snow, if/when. The Kohler is tight as new, starts no problem, we add fuel/oil and it just runs. This is commercial machine that was expensive, but... it has earned its keep. We could take it out today and run it 5 days a week mowing suburban areas - the machine is built to last 50 years, USA made. mao _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
