Just got back from 3 weeks of a "working" vacation, so I thought I'd show the home U.P. north where the wife and I will be retiring to, and the mowers I use to take care of the yard there.
The one on the left is an MTD with a Honda GCV160 engine. I bought it new from Sam's back in 1999, and I hate to say it, but it's my most abused mower I have. The one on the right is a Garden Way sickle mower I picked up last year for cutting really tall stuff. It has a little 3 1/2 horse Briggs with the auto choke. I can't say I'm a real fan of the auto choke, but darn if both of them didn't start this year after only 4 pulls.
I say they're abused mowers because I don't necessarily give them the attention they should get, but if it's possible to be jealous of an inanimate object, it would have to be these two. They get to see that view every morning, stay under that porch, and that's the back yard they get to mow.
