Nova makes a Monster Chuck that's called a Titan----with 5 inch jaws----you have to buy the pieces individually. I saved up for a year and still had to put the balance on a CC.
But it will get-er-done

Try -----front yard is over a acre and the riding mower died last fall.
Guess who is mowing this year with a push mower.
I figure it's either going to kill me or I will lose some weight.

Just make sure it's not in the form of toes! You could at least get a self propelled push mower. Tell her to have a heart for crying out loud! LOL

Nice work Gary.
BTW I have both a tractor and a push (gas but not sell propelled) mower for our just over 1/3 acre. When I use the push week after week I am in much better shape. It also helped me lose weight when I was at my highest weight. I would never do an actual excercise program so the mower was a very good alternative.

Plus have you priced new mowers------we are in the wrong business.
The only part that has me really worried----Margie was out spreading Fretilizer on the front yard last week.

John if it wasn't for the fact that goats eat everything-----trust me they would be doing the mowing------heck I could even stick one in the freezer.
Margie has 12 flower beds and I have lost count of the shrubs.
We already have electric fences to keep the deer out of the gardens.
