briansol · 11-10-2007, 06:43 PM

yay! toys.

lol

went to sears hardware, and they had some pretty good deals on lawnmowers and snowblowers... so i bought one of each

$269

Craftsman 6.50 Torque Rating (190CC) 22 in. Deck 3-n-1 Mulch-Bag-Discharge Rear Bag Mower - Model 37672 at Sears.com

and i picked up the biggest snowblower they had in stock. don't need the 14hp one anyway

9hp 28" cut
3 yr full extended warranty

Craftsman 9 hp Gas Snow Thrower - Model 31AS6HEG799 at Sears.com

$799

and since i got the extra warranty, i actually got a better deal at the store that i would have online (plus shipping)

so, tomorrow, i need to buy a gas can lol and start up the lawn mower and do my leaves.

blower didn't come with oil, so i need to get some before i fire that up (obviously) but the mower did.

they didn't have any chains, so i need to score a set of those, and then i'll be golden

Your mower has 1" bigger radius than mine, but my yard is so small I went with the cheapest I could, 150 bucks for mine.

I do need to get a snow blower though... it's going to suck with this long ass driveway this year.

Unless my neighbor uses his bobcat to clear it. lol

briansol · 11-10-2007, 07:15 PM

they are all 21 or 22 for the most part until you get into a rider.

ScrapinSTi · 11-10-2007, 10:27 PM

wait... Don't you have a decent sized yard? and a decent sized driveway? Why not buy a rider with a plow? Would have cost you about $100 more.

Because I'm not spending 600 bucks on a rider and 200 on a plow when my neighbor has a bobcat. lol

Lot is 150x40, the driveway goes the length (150'), and is about 10 foot wide so I have 30' of yard in the front and the rest is driveway/house/garage.

Edit: my dumbass thinking about everything else going on in my life just realized that you were talking to B. LOL

ScrapinSTi · 11-11-2007, 10:28 AM

lol.. yeah... its b's thread, not yours... lol

briansol · 11-11-2007, 02:17 PM

riders are in the 3k range once you get attachements. the 1800 price usually includes a cutting deck, and thats it.
300 for baggers
500 for plow attachemnts
etc etc

ScrapinSTi · 11-12-2007, 03:54 PM

18hp 42" Poulan Pro Like I have was $899... (I actually got it for 800 thanks to Home Depot 10% off) EXACT SAME as the craftsman (Same Part Numbers even).. With a deck, w/ mulching blade option...

The craftsman version (What Clayton has)... Is $999...
Craftsman 17.5 hp 42 in. Deck, LT 2000 Lawn Tractor

Sears item# 07128703000 Mfr. model# 28703

Then the bagger (I still dont use one... Maybe next year i'll actually buy one) is $299
Craftsman 6 Bushel 2 - Bin Soft Bagger for 42" Deck

Sears item# 07124891000 Mfr. model# 24891

And its weird that they dont list it... But the Blade for my tractor was $199 or $299.. Don't remember which... I think it was $299 for the 42" blade... Then I scored a set of weights & chains from ebay for $50.

I have a JD 112 (free, Robyne's grandfathers) that I picked up a used Deere blade and mount on ebay for 125/shipped.

I'm a complete redneck now

Airjockie · 11-15-2007, 12:33 PM

mine was the 18hp intec LT1000 which ran about $1100...then the double bagger for like $300

so B, when are we installing a JDM beer holder on your mower?
