I`d say it close to yours give or take, for the smaller areas we use an 20 horse rider and for the bigger areas in the back I have a Ford 800 tractor with a 6 ft mower. I have to keep the grass short because of all the ticks this year.

Curtis, never to late to fert. Your formula would be different than an early spring or late fall fert. I would suggest a 19-19-19 mix.

We are having a hard time getting my ABS dash light off on 150. Any suggestions.

Thanks Trent. I'm pickin up truck tomorrow so maybe i'll shoot ya a text or call to talk about fert.

As for ABS, most common prob with light staying on is the "Wheel speed sensors" Either shot or need to be cleaned up. Had the problem on my old Windstar.

2 bolts to pull them off. CLeaned up with soap n water (no chemicals) and put them back in. Took a day of driving for system to relearn but light went of and stayed off!!

I use to use Scotts with great success until Ontario banned the herbicides then Scotts started using that cornmeal which tripled the price and does very little. I'm surrounded by a sea of dandelions and the tides starting to roll in. I may have to make a trip into Manitoba to purchase what I need.

Par 3 does have a fertilizing aspect. Would not suggest using it as a fertilizer. Its is meant to kill weeds and aid in grass growth in that area. Par 3 is a liquid and will be banned here next year.

Electrical tape over the light...

Morning all, and hopefully a happy Weekend in store. We spent the whole day mowing grass and tilling the garden area yesterday. Hoping to plant the garden today and maybe relax a little...

Got my mods installed on the Cobra, might try to find time to take it for a rip!!
