OMG, already thinking of winter

......benefit #2....it covers the filth, that is the streets and sidewalks of Boston....
We were in Boston today, the Mass Ave corner AKA Heroin Mile...had a minimum of 500 used needle caps and countless needles themselves thrown all along the sidewalk, curb and sidewalk... Place is a toilet.

I lived just off Huntington ave. (Gainsborough St.) while in school there, in the early 60's.
I probably would not enjoy living there now.

Ridge,

Ask your dealer if he has installed any and see if you can visit the owner. Most people are going to be OK with that.

If that does not work, go to a Kubota dealer and look at the Grand L series blowers. They have about the same size subframe as the LS4100's.

I am really surprised no one on this forum has one that can give you some honest opinions.

Bear in mind I am in my late 60's so that factors into my warning and I wanted something my fiancé could deal with if needed. A younger person may not find it as much of a concern. But after seeing my dealer install one, you will want at least a level pad to work on, hard pad at that, and preferably covered. Frankly, at times I struggle with a rear PTO, so crawling under a tractor to hook one up was another concern. I needed something I could handle as I get older, weaker, and less limber. Plus, I use my FEL SSQA in the winter so having a blower I could install and forget was important to me. YMMV

I'm working to get a plow mounted on our 6x6. (a big atv) Leaves are changing and this past weekend, we seen one maple completely red.

Your Fall seems early and ours late. Our leaves are just now changing and our days are still in 70s. We still have wildfires raging all around us and they have extended the wildfire season until the end of September. I am ready for rain or snow and it can't come soon enough.

This time of year we can't even spell the "W" word. It ain't e en Fall yet!!!

You guys need to spend more time outdoors!!!

 

[atsah]

Not this year but for the last 13 years if it wasn't winter I was getting ready for it...

 

[chas0218]

Got myself some of my winter heat stacked or at least a portion of it ready for this fall. Last night the outdoor temps hit 41, way too cold for not even being fall yet.

Weatherman saying good chance our first good frost tonight.

 

[ArlyA]

In the UP of MI, we've been in the 30's a few times, but I don't believe any frost yet. Fall colors are really getting bright!

 

[Walter L]

100 deg here today MS

 

[hks003]

In Arkansas today it was 103. I think it's forecasted for high 70s tonight!

I scattered $700 of grass seed on our new lawn last Thursday. We've been near 90 every day with a couple sprinkles since. Good thing I put it on thick. Success rate is gonna be low.

 

[MossRoad]

Keep it watered and it will be fine.

 

[ruffdog]

Winter? I would be happy with some Fall weather. I'm tired of the hot, humid, and rainy Summer weather. The crops needed the extended heat as most farms planted late.

 

[chas0218]

Our coldest overnights have been dipping down into the mid 40s, but averaging around 50-55 and upper 70s lately for our highs. I too planted grass seed and threw down some food plot seed hoping to get a little growth before 1st frost. Either way the grass and food plot have been growing well. The turkeys did a hurting on the 2nd plot eating some of the seeds so we will see how that one fares. Here in NY I'm hoping we don't get frost at least until next month or later.

Frost out here this morning! 34 when I got up according to our weather station. Just spread compost the other day and need to mow again to clean it up, so please ignore any random lines and the darker looking areas, just compost waiting to get settled in
