Just an amusing anecdote ,an I won't pull this thread off track after this.
I'm going to Church a lot more since I retired (for the music) so a neighbour asked me was I like expectant mothers going to church for the first time in years to secure a place in the local national school.......was I now going to Church in a frantic rush to secure brownie points for a place in the hereafter.
I told him whatever about the here after I'd be hoping for a place in the graveyard anyway

Wrangler, if your ever trading again, have a look at the hustler. They’ve a lower center of gravity then the husky. I’m only saying that because I bought a new husky last year, the r213. Good lawnmower, better then the tractor lawnmower type imo, but in comparison to the hustler It feels not as strong. I’m thinking the deck is will need replacing every 10-15 yrs. way more steel in the hustler,never have to replace the deck, but was out of my budget at the time.

A deck may not be as expensive as you tnink....Got a new 53 inch deck complete with blades, pulleys, belts etc for a 20 y/o John Deere last year for €320. A new blade is around €50, so I was happy with that

Ah fair enough. As I said, have used both machines and the husky deck seems like something that will wear out, but the hustler is at least double the thickness in steel and more, it’s just a really tough lifetime machine, will never wear out, but nothing wrong with either machine really.

How much. I'd say the one with the powersteering and grass box is some price.
Wouldn't mind but the lawn with the big hill is a charity job, a graveyard of about an acre, I don't get involved in anything else in the parish so that is enough for the community, Being born C of I It's a small community.
I'm also an Athiest but I love church music

I think everyone is convinced that's what I'm at, but no.

How are you getting on with these? I bought some back around the same time and I cant get over how white they went. They dont even smell like creosote and they were more of an orange colour than dark brown when we got them. I've more from other suppliers which still ooze creosote out in the summer and stay black/brown year round. I remember these were suspiciously cheap at the time compared to everyone else and I'm beginning to wonder are they creosote at all??

cow manager ear tags the worst money spent here in a long shot a cow would want to be fair sick before it lets you know,have to say vet has been gone out of the yard before it goes off , its only any good for heat detection .

Sheep turnover create. Bought just before we got rid of the sheep. Sitting in corner of shed currently.

Don't know if it was ever used. No wheels on it so just too awkward to get out to use.

Texel rams and most "waterproofs".

Battery electric fencers. Although first one I ever bought was very good, lasted years. Seem to have gone through a good few in last number of years

Teleporter. Love it.
