Re: 55.1 S10 swap Gypsum

spring has sprunk, i need to get drunk. ~11 acres to mow every other week. luckily i picked up this BMF (big mower fun what did you think I meant?)



best thing beside diesel is the no-jack sharpening.





it tamed the almost 4 acre property in FORTY MINUTES including the cities portion. last year this took two hours on my hustler.




the combination of almost 2 more feet of mower deck width and at least 5mph faster. i say at least because it has a suspension seat with at least 7 inches of travel, so where last year my 8mph hustler was relegated to 2-3mph because of the rough ground, this just breezed along at 10mph no matter the bumps. I had an overheating problem the first time i used it, the engine didnt overheat just the pto shut off with a special switch it has for coolant temp. but the radiator was full of mud dauber nests so i washed it and blew through it and added 15oz of diesel water wetter and it ran 3 hours today and no hiccups in 8 acres. I did the acre here with my hustler after servicing it.

more truck work soon i promise
