I've been able to mow 3 times already. This last time was a bit wet, but had no choice. It looks like by the time I get to mow again I may get to see how good my yard sweeper works, LOL. Oh we are under a tornado warning right now, but don't think it is doing much. Just pouring rain outside "again!"

I have yet to mow this year. But, it looks as if we'll get a break from the rain tomorrow and maybe Friday. I'll have to make my best attempt to get the 129 out, deck back on, running with fresh gas, etc. Or... I'll have to cut the grass verrrry slllow.

Cheers

I've gotten one mow in with the 104 and it's rebuilt deck.
Spent a fair amount of time adjusting the PTO belt as it kept coming off but I think I've got the sweet-spot figured out and everything seems to be working well now.

45 of the last 51 days have had measurable rain (and snow and hail and sleet).
We don't get much in the way of flood warnings up here but we do have a lot of landslide watches!

I certainly hope we do get that break. It's had to have rained about another inch here overnight. I can look out over the field behind my property and see standing water in places that usually are high and dry.

We got some rain yesterday, they are calling for more today and tomorrow. We've mowed twice already.

Well, I jumped on the 1000 right after work today since it wasn't raining then. I was able to get the front yard cut before the wet stuff started again. Wow, the grass sure is nice and green! I fertilzed about a month ago(including crabgrass control and after cancelling my lawn fertilizer service) and right now my grass looks the best I've ever seen it in 20 years. Hopefully, we'll see some dry weather soon and can all get some quality seat time on our Cubs.
Hey, Dwayne....how do you like your Ag Fab lawn sweeper? I've been shopping....is yours the "Smart Sweep" model? I've read good things about them. Parker has, in the past, been the sweeper of choice, but those are really pricey these days.

I have the regular 42" sweeper. I have not had a chance to use the thing yet. I took it in as a partial trade earlier in the year and it has been sitting in the shop waiting to be used. Has been way too wet to give it a go. It is nice and heavy built and I think it will do a great job.

I'm sick of rain too! I cut Thursday and is high again! The 128 likes wet grass it eats thew it in 2nd gear and the 1812 is a gas hog. I'll have to brush hog it if it get to high!

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.
