Although it lacks of speed and beauty, this shall be the most comfortable piece of equipment we have ever owned.

After all the complaints we have heard about back problems due to ztr bumpy rides, we have chosen to purchase this Bolens.
With a seat like that, we figure on being able to mow 15 hours a day with ease and comfort. :D

We take delivery of this prized machine on Tuesday. Matt can't wait to put it to work Wednesday.

:blob3: Eat your heart out Larry Stone! :blob3:

A little wax and it will look like new Jodi. :D

That would make a good one for lawn mower races. ;)

Speaking of which, I'm attending my first lawnmower race today! They are taking place tonight at Mt. Pleasant speedway (along with the mud-bogs) This will finally give me a chance to talk to some of these guys, and see how they have these machines are set up.:) I'll let you know how it turns out.

Was it a link to e-bay? I figured it was a joke, but the picture is not there anymore.

Ok, I think I got the picture back up and working. I was using Webshots. Don't normally use Webshots, so I probably screwed something up that's how come the picture disappeared.

Hopefully the picture will stay there now. :)

Could have gone with the Ferris and their independent suspension.

Who is your dealer? Did you get a good deal? How much did it cost you for the deluxe seat? I'm so jealous...


The neighbors don't mind you keeping it in front of your house? ;)

LMAO. It took us a long time to save up for that house. It's our pride and joy. ;)

Check out the rear tire style, that might have been a first generation Dixie Chopper!

A little paint and she'll be a realllll looker! :)

Is it hard to enforce the "no rider" rule? I bet everyone wants on!

Say - that'll be a good match for the new trailer you just bought! Love that exhaust. :cool:

Man, wish I was making enough $$$ at my day job to afford all this new stuff................... ;)

Wow! Thats a real nice piece of machinery you got there, Jodi!

I too like the 'sidepipes'...just a little chrome and your all set.

I wonder if I can order one of those Recaro seats for a Cub Cadet...is it electric with inflatable lumbar support?

FANCY! :D

All I can say is that's one sweet ride. Is that seat adjustable? Kick the mutha back into pimp mode.

Consider changing the "NO RIDERS" sticker to maybe "GAS, GRASS, OR A**....NO ONE RIDES FOR FREE"

I have only 1 question:

Do you think a captains chair from a conversion van would fit ? The swivel would be a nice addition.


maybe 2 questions:

How about these neon light tubes for the underbody ?

PJ,

I would love to sell it to you. But there is just a slight glitch. We don't actually own that machine.

My husband Matt has a twisted side to his humor.

We were driving down the road and he saw this tractor. He made me stop on the way back from shopping so he could get out and get a photo of it. He couldn't wait till we got the pictures developed so he could have me post it here. :p

There were two teenage boys standing in the yard, and he actually had to go up to them and ask them if they would mind if he took a pic. They looked really confused at the question, but they said ok.

Now if the machine is really worth something to you, I could maybe try to find out if they would sell it. I can almost guarantee I would be embarassed going to the door asking them if they would sell it, but if you really want it, let me know.
It is an old farm out in farm country, I couldn't really say if they would sell it or not though.

Jeff, A swivel would be a great addition. :)

Rob, That's one reason we didn't make an offer on the tractor since it wouldn't fit on our new trailer. :laugh:

Thanks

That is a heck of a nice mower you got ther. I wish mine was as purty as yours. It must have cost an arm and a leg. You are probably the envy of your town. Gotta love it!!:D

Now I see why you weren't impressed with LCOs grossing $400.00 per day. Yall are using some very high-end equipment.

cp,

I agree!

It looks exactly like the muffler on my old (early 60's) Ducati 'Mountaineer'.

I would pull the baffle on it and drive the neighbors nuts...but it sure ran better! :D
