New riding mower

OK, I can't stand it. The neighbor across the street has a lawn that's...well, you'll see how big it is in the pic. His back lawn is half the size of the front- most of the yard is flower beds, water feature, etc. Now check out his new toy in the driveway.
you just can't make stuff like this up, ya know!

I think it would take longer with the rider than just using a pushmower to do it.

Wonder how long till you see a for sale sign in front of the house. Probably bought as a gift or is going to move, otherwise should have been a really good bargin. I have a 4800 sqft yard and I bought one last year for $50.00, as the deck was locked up. I am rebuilding it now, either for my dad (he seems to only like the Forrest Gump style), my nephew (whose started mowing for money) or to sell. I will have about $100 in parts and already have one guy who wants it when I am done.

Ernie, when you can afford to live in a neighborhood like THAT,what's a couple large for a rider? Chump change, if you ask me. No wonder my prices are lower...
