Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we have lived on this property– all acre and a half– for almost twelve years WITHOUT a lawn tractor. When I used to mow the lawn with our push mower, it took me SIX hours a week. I had to break it up into twice a week. It was grueling! After the kids got big enough, they split up the job, but it was still an arduous job. One of my neighbors took pity on us (plus he wanted us to allow his son to play touch football on our lawn from time to time) and mowed the back half of the yard with his lawn tractor. It was a good deal— he mowed, we let his kids play on the turf.
But I am thrilled to finally have my own tractor! I don’t know what took us soooo long to get one?! The kids love it. We spent some time today, teaching them how to use it.
First a lawn tractor, next.. maybe a woodstove? Maybe– just MAYBE– a new kitchen?! My world is filled with hope now! Woooo!

Congratulations on your riding lawn mower! Six hours a week is way too long to spend cutting grass!! Nice of you to let the neighbors play in your big yard.

I can’t imagine doing that much yard with a push mower! We have just 1/2 an acre and the previous home owner left us their lawn tractor and I am so thankful!

My husband would love to get a lawn tractor, especially in these economic times and after I hired someone to take care of it. I better not let him see this post! Enjoy.

While looking for lawn tractor reviews on Saturday I came across your blog and post about . I could t believe the amount of quality material that exists on this site. The site is extremely eye catching and pulls the reader straight it, the articles are great quality and are very professionally written. I have seen too many of these sites where it looks like they pay an 8 year old to do the writing – t this one. Your site is easily the best that I have seen in a long while.
