Earlier this week I posted some equipment photos. Several people expressed interest in seeing how my Billy Goat mower cut. Here are some pics of the small residential down the street taken by my wife while I was getting ready to blow. Also, I included a few more pics of the Goat.

I bought the mower new for $1550. Billoygoat has stopped production of the mower but you can still find one if you look.

Man, I wish our grass looked like that right now. I am sick of seeing snow!!! Good money, but sick of the wet, cold feet, frozen fingers, salt and dirt all over everything... your garage looks so nice and clean...
Nice pics., makes me anticipate spring that much more!!

Looks like a well made machine.

I've got a question for you since I noticed you're in Orlando. Do you think the Disney Parks will be busy monday considering it's MLK Jr. day? (Are schools & government closed?) I'll be there next week. Thanks

The parks won't be slammed but they will be very busy. We live five minutes from the disney gates and have year passes to all four parks - and we can watch the fireworks every night 365 days a year. If it is just you - no problem. But if you are bringing your family get "fastpasses" and dinner reservations right when you get in. Fast passes are available at Animal kingdom, epcot, magic kingdom and the studios. I personally think "soarin" in Epcot is the best ride. Without a fastpass expect to stay in line at lest 2 hours. With fastpass-- 15 minutes.

Very cool! I may do some sight seeing mon. (Daytona or Tampa) and hit the parks the rest of the week. This is my 3rd trip there and Animal Kingdom is the only one I haven't done so it's a must see this time. It'll be just the 2 of us, so we can move pretty fast. Any more advice or free tickets :laugh: will be greatly appreciated.

Is the Grass down there to thick to layover so it makes stripes?

Yea, sometimes you can see it if you get good sun light though....

I thought of getting a stripe kit or making one to experiment. The grass is very thick in orlando - but i still think it will work. I did a search and came up with several ideas from this site for making one. I think I am going to send the wife and kids away next weekend and make a hybrid stripe kit based on the ones I have seen on this site. I will probably make it for my ztr though and not the billygoat.

Isn't your grass called St. Augustine? Or what we call up here crabgrass!! jk. everything looks good and it also looks like your on your way up the ladder, so to speak.

That's what I thought when I moved down there, too. But you would be amazed at how hard it is to maintain. That stuff (at least where I lived) was hard as hell to take care of.
