Is this the result of Einstein and Springsteen doing the horizontal mambo? :shock:

Keeping ON topic, my grass is getting tall. :P

Nope, just a twist on the name. I do it with Einsteen, prevert, and a few others. ;)

Mine isn't bad, I mowed last weekend.

Mine too. It seems everyone who has a Cub Cadet for sale doesn't respond to e-mails either so I'm either going to have to buy something else or keep borrowing my fathers Skag...

You're like every other dork. You assume I have a bunch of iron laying around. If that were the case I'd be a very happy man. ;)

Mostly the issue is the bigger obstacles like trailers, trucks and motorhome bits from the 2 numb nut thieves I let "work" for me a while back.
It takes a long time to dispose of an exploded apart motorhome, by feeding it into a lit 55 gallon barrel, I found out. :bom:

For the most part I agree, but there are 2 features on my "Junk MTD Cub Cadet" that I haven't had on the other junk:
An electric clutch for the blades and a deck that has an idler that stops the blades, without smoking the belts, if something stalls them.

See, I live in a low tech world, I can't afford mowers with A/C, heated/cooled cup holders, or even fancy attachments for blowing snow, vacuuming the lawn or picking up clipped dog toenails.

Very low tech, here. :lol:

No need to get all defensive! :roll: Aren't trailers and trucks iron?
