Someone needs to clean house in Springfield.

This machine has been a god-send. No fun chasing a mower over a couple acres.

Warmer is something to think about...I've give some thought to that myself. We have a Springfield about 40 miles south of here...I often say if they were to give the world an enema...Springfield is where thy would stick the tube.

Definitely better using a sit down mower than a walk behind..
