On my 2500 and against the manual I always let the engine idle down for a min or 2 that choke it off the key off... ...my dad hated backfires.

diesel_nut, greetings and salutations, I'm pretty sure you got your 2544 around 2007-8, cause that when I got mine. btw I got a 44" deck and it cuts so much better...that is no clumping.

Alrighty then I stand corrected, JD builds JD's. HUH!

As far as the video goes I thought both tractors were made by MTD so...it's 6 of one or half a dozen of the other. I prefer a CC because I have a long term relationship with a close by dealer...and I'm happy with that arrangement. Now as far as zero turns go I'll be the 1st to admit the...

To fill and level a hole in you yard a FEL will do the trick. To level a gravel driveway a box blade or grader is the better attatchment.

If it were me I would put it on Craigs list and ask my price for it...you can always take less.

My tech head son would second the opinion in Wyxe cameras.

For as little to cut that you have considering renting a brushhog for the thick brush then the regular mower to cut the weeds once or twice a year to keep them in check. Or just farm out the job.

I have limited resources and this is my generator story. While I was on active duty the wife had to update our heating plant and she chose propane. So during casual conversation the propane guy supposed we'd be getting a whole house generator now that we got this big 250 gal tank for gas. He...

Could always be something simple like bad fuel too, that's easily remedied.

I have a small 10in battery saw that's just great for elevated trimming, and other small jobs.

...just riffing on some other comments. Years ago when I first got a used brush hog I got some real useful advice from my old timer neighbor. He suggested that when I was brush hogging to use lower gear and the FEL as a bumper by keeping it just off the ground when moving forward. Also to...

I suppose I would somewhat qualify ... ...but I wouldn't call it exercise because I doubt I reach the target heart rate that real true exercise demands. Good range of motion movement though. We've been using a wood stove since the bi-centennial. I enjoy firewood production and we appreciate...

My advice on the MMM is directed on the difficulty of mounting/dismounting. You may be tempted to leave the mower on and go into the woods and ding up the mower. The MMM does make a better cut though...I suppose as a wood cutter/tree hauler I'm spoiled on the quick changing 3ph attachments.

That's a good price and if it were me I'd buy it asap. I say that as an owner of a B1750 with loader since 1990. I've used the loader aggressively, hauled tons of trees through the woods and pulled my 72'' woods mower. You'll never regret that purchase. My only advice is to avoid a mid mount...
