Yeah, we had spring a week ago, now we're back into winter... Haven't even gotten excited about readying anything yet. It'll come when it comes...

First mowing was Friday afternoon. Potatoes and onions are planted (last weekend) and we got big, fat snowflakes Easter morning with clear, sunny skies and 55 degrees F in the afternoon.

Yep, Spring has sprung.

It's about time to start mowing in western PA, the grass is getting green and thick and I will probably mow for the first time this upcoming weekend and I can't wait.

Spring is still creeping in here but I feel the cold grasp of winter slipping away, for sure. I think I'm ready to confidently say we're done with snow here. I need to get the 2284 woken up from its slumber and prepped for spring, for sure. She needs the deck taken off, blades sharpened, deck needs an undercoat, and one of my brand new front V61 tires has developed a leak and is now flat with a broken seal so I need to get that taken care of.

As for the winter 1864, I want to get the engine pulled from that and given a good once over this year. They hydraulic lift cylinder also has apparently developed a leak that needs taken care of so that's on the to do list, as well.

The yard needs picked up, aerated, fertilized, etc. So yeah, other than those few minor things I'm ready for spring!

Still a couple weeks away from doing any major yard work here. But everything is ready to go. Mower deck is clean, sharp and greased from the fall.

Supposed to be a cold first week of April up here, winter jacket weather.

Mowed last week. Didn't really need it but at least everything is the same level and I got some seat time.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
