I do agree that it sometimes can be too much to where you have to rake them up.
Sometimes we'll chop them some and then toss the catcher on....cuts down on the total volume that we haul away.
Do you sell those gator blades by chance?

I've got a few in mind. Garrett is one possibility. Another is Poncho, in memory of my buddy who moved back to Mexico this month. I've also thought about Jed. But I'm sure for the 1st month or so I'll probably call him dam*it.lol What do y'all think?
That's one cute pup there Huck, Poncho is good what about Turbo?

Thanks Jim. My wife didn't think much of turbo, but she did say that she could live with Garrett. Then she said " why don't you just name him Powerstroke".

Evening all, just got back from my marathon week of commuting to the MILs house.
My wifes brothers live in Dallas Tx, and came to Birmingham to visit their momma for Christmas. They got here last Monday, and left today. Since my wife only gets to see them and their families once or twice a year, we had to be there everyday. Its about 200 miles round trip. Basically I have driven 1000+ miles in 6 days, most of the week getting home about 11pm, and then leaving again at 9AM to go back. I dont mind really, I want my wife to get to spend time with her family so we make it happen.

We had 17 of us for Christmas dinner, ranging from 6 months to 85 years old. I fried a turkey, and the women folk made all the trimmings to go along with.

I am on Vacation this week, I am gonna do a little hunting, and probably detail the wifes Expedition for her. Chris and his family are coming over on New Years eve, and I think were gonna do either a crab boil or maybe a Prime Rib.

If you're going to go with 37hp you might as well get a diesel. There's a lot of companies coming out with diesels.
Personally I'd go with more power for a 52" deck.....closer to a 25 Kaw

19Kaws are good on 48" Walk Behind Gear Drive or Hydros. 21hp is the min (I feel) for a 52" Hydro Walk Behind. ZTRs or Standers are 23hp+ range.
Although I've been told from my dealer that I'm in the minority (I can't get a 52" floater, walk behind with a big enough motor through their supplier so we order them and then do a motor swap once they arrive and my dealer keeps the motor that comes on them.....last one was the 25hp Kaw that we put on).



Not a fan of the diesel, due to the price tag. And I'm not sure if it would be a bolt on.....very minor mods are needed to bolt in a 37Kaw into my ZTRs.
