[tstutz]

heres some pictures of a few yards i mow and i might of included a picture of my interests...comments welcome...enjoy

also i will continue using this thread to post pictures on so every once and a while check it out.

[gdguth]

not bad, but I would get a bigger mower

[tstutz]

ya i agree i would like to get a bigger mower. im working on it.

[VirginiaLawnCare]

Ok what the heck is up with the last picture? Some hunting picture? Im really not all for hunting so that picture kind of made my stomach turn.


But becides that the rest look good like what was said i would get a bigger mower at least a 32" or 36" would save you a lot of time. But I know your 15 and that could be hard.

[hvphotog]

nice mow work... is that a fox or something?

[Jhill19]

That's a coyote, nothing but trouble here in wv. They kill a lot of pets and deer. So we have to keep them under control. Man i should be out mowing.

[Green Team Landscaping]

If you're interested in coming to NH I will sell you my 52" Scag Conversion for $1,500

[2brothersyardcare]

ohhhh well either way I am still not a fan of killing any animal but that's a whole different subject! Well let me take that back almost any animal I eat the crap out of some meat. *trucewhiteflag*

[Jordanfan20]

I use a 52 in wb I bought off craiglist when I was 15, definitely buy a better mower it will pay for itself in under a month (depending on what you buy). When I was 14 I upgraded from a small push to a riding craftsman and it saved me hours each week.

[tstutz]

no i didnt hunt it although i do hunt deer and turkey but i trapped the coyote along with multiple raccoon. in the winter i make money by getting up at 5 each morning and running a trap line. i sell the pelts (furs for you city slickers). its alot of fun! like i said i would like to get a bigger mower but i have other priorities and hobbys that i like to blow my money on. thanks for the comments though

[4.3mudder]

looks good to me, lines are a little crooked, but hey, we all have to start somewhere.

[MileHigh]

no i didnt hunt it

So you are holding a dead arse coyote, with a camo hat on, with let me say that again holding a dead arse coyote...but you didn't hunt it.....


?


Who in there right minds goes around, finds dead coyotes, picks em up, puts a camo hat on, takes a picture, and then posts it on a Lawn Forum?

[81Bronk36]

read a little better... he explains why he is holding a dead coyote pretty clearly.

Heck yeah man!!!! huge deer, and turkey hunter myself!!! its a great hobby nice Coyote, i killed 3 this past turkey season, kept attacking my decoys lol :dizzy:

[lawnmoorellc]

Nice work good to see young men active..You can tell the difference in the seasons in the coyote picture ie: jacket, leaves on the ground, brown grass, so it was probally trapped but I am still laughing at Bladescapes response:laugh:

[STIHL GUY]

looks good. once you get a bigger mower youll never want to use a 21'' again

[slamjamrockinman]

Work looks great!! Nothing wrong with trapping, I have some buddies who trap and they say it's tons of fun!

[tstutz]

bladescape...where do i start. i got a great laugh out of your responce. obviously you didnt read the entire post which in the long run made you look like an and i qoute "arse" haha..:) but ya scag mower trapping them is so much harder than shooting them and ive had that problem with them attacking decoys. i have some pictures of coons that i have trapped. its an awesome hobby that i think each and every man should try. bladescape i dont mean anything by what i said(even though you probably have already stopped reading this and are posting something else haha)

[gomowdig]

Neat Kid---15 going on 25 yo. Spells, composes decent sentences. A-OK in my book; keep the pictures and info coming.

[Lawn Freak]

[MortonLawn]

you can drive when you're 15?? or do you have a learners permit and ride with your parents?

[tstutz]

no i have got my farm permit at 14 and have drove myself to school everyday and i drive myself to each yard. my dad farms so its nice to have a vechicle so i can go back and forth from home to the farm to work.

[WeCare-LawnCare]

Looks Good !!! Keep it up !!

[J&R Landscaping]

[93Chevy]

Good work, keep it up. Good to see some young folk with work ethic.

[Junior M]

I freakin love trapping, the only thing that sucks, trapping in South Carolina is like trying to trap in freakin South America, it just dont work. I ran a trap line for a season and had a coon chew its leg off in a steel and caught a fox and a dog. So I said screw it, sold the traps back to my brother so he can extend his awesome line in Ohio..

[tstutz]

haha ya theres ways to solve chewing and pulling out. but those darn dogs will get you everytime. i have been fortuant enough not to catch one.

[KCfireman]

haha ya theres ways to solve chewing and pulling out. but those darn dogs will get you everytime. i have been fortuant enough not to catch one.What are they teaching you at Wamego HS? Fortuant? What's that? Fortunate.

[hornett22]

nice work and awesome coyote.they are a pain in the a$$ here too.i'm going to blast one here in my yard soon.they spread disease and are nasty.

disregard the anti hunters.they don't know anything about conservation or life in general.

[IHusky]

I hope one of your dogs doesn't get caught in a trap and has to chew its leg off. How would that make you feel? Good luck with the trapping.

[hornett22]

those traps have been illegal for years.

[Murphy's LawnCare]

They may be illegal in yankton but they damn sure aint in texas

[nnj18]

trapping is for p@ssys...go buy a ar15 and shoot the coyotes

[93Chevy]

trapping is for p@ssys...go buy a ar15 and shoot the coyotes

Yeah, the real man thing is to shoot it from far away instead of getting your hands dirty. I have just as much respect for trappers as I do for hunters and fishers.

[nnj18]

haha alteast the thing doesnt feel it....and coyotes are a big problem buddy.

[93Chevy]

Bummer for the animal when he gets his leg caught.

Believe me, if there were more coyotes around here, I'd be bagging them. I'm not a trapper, I just hunt, so I don't mean to pretend to know anything about trapping.

[tstutz]

i chuckle everytime i read the post,"real men buy an ar15 and shoot them" ok sure but like others said your a long ways away. trapping them you get within feet from them. also yesterday was the last day of turkey season and i bagged one! 20lbs with a 10 inch beard and 1 inch spurs. Check it out!

[tstutz]

kansas toms are huge! this is for all you anti-hunting/trapping! :usflag:

its american!

[KCfireman]

kansas toms are huge! this is for all you anti-hunting/trapping! :usflag:

its american!Nice. Yesterday I shot a human. He was 5'11'' and weighed 235lbs!

[Junior M]

haha ya theres ways to solve chewing and pulling out. but those darn dogs will get you everytime. i have been fortuant enough not to catch one.

I know a couple ways, like a drownder and bending the wire a certain way, but at the time I hadnt been taught that. And the way the trap was layed it'd be a ***** to set up a drownder..

And me and my brother have both caught dogs, he was lucky enough to have a little dog that didnt fight the trap..

I hope one of your dogs doesn't get caught in a trap and has to chew its leg off. How would that make you feel? Good luck with the trapping.

Like I did it on purpose buddy. Its the cycle of life. And the dog I caught was a wild dog, no collar, no nothing. We've got dogs running around here like some guys got coyotes. But thats from years of dog driving..

those traps have been illegal for years.

Wow, someone needs to check up on there state rules.

Nice. Yesterday I shot a human. He was 5'11'' and weighed 235lbs!

Bahahah!

And nice turkey, never had the chance to hunt turkey..

Go clean the trucks Jeff! Jeez!

[KCfireman]

Go clean the trucks Jeff! Jeez!

I did that today, after our 3 ALARM fire.

[Junior M]

I did that today, after our 3 ALARM fire.
You suck, nothing exciting, just a bad car wreck, no fires in about 4 days.. :wall And they were just brush fires, that I couldnt respond to... :realmad:

[tstutz]

hyjacked thread hyjacked thread...haha just kidding but by saying that it makes you look like an idiot hornet22

[hornett22]

i was wrong.after some research i found i was in error.that is what i get for listening to the mainstream news media,LOL.i am a hunter,not a trapper.

as for peoples dogs and pets getting caught in them,it is sad but,i have known trappers.the places they put their traps,no ones pet should get into them.i'd say it is irresponsible pet owners that let their pets run loose.

[Supper Grassy]

looks like you off to a nice start

[tstutz]

thank you supper grassy.

[tstutz]

here is my new scag 52 inch wb hydro. and my 16 ft. trailor

[AdvancedLawns]

looks cool man...i like that trailer too.

[93Chevy]

Looks good man. Good luck with it, hope you get a lot of use out of it.

[KCfireman]

I'll have to come out soon and check out all the new equipment.

[tstutz]

thanks guys! lawnsite has kept my interest in mowing and without this i wouldnt have what i have now. thanks!

[JDiepstra]

Hey man nice work growing so far this season.

I'd like to see how you rig up your trailer... I imagine you'll be putting some sides on it? I've throught about getting a longer car hauler cause they do seem to be a lot cheaper and there are a lot of them available but not having any sort of sides has always turned me off.

Anyway, good luck and by the way, how do you kill an animal once it has been trapped? Sorry for not knowing, but I guess I'll never know unless I ask.........

[KCfireman]

Buy a 2500HD now.

[JDiepstra]

Buy a 2500HD now.

If going big, might as well pack a Cummins.

[KCfireman]

If going big, might as well pack a Cummins.If I'm going for pure power, then cummins all the way!:weightlifter: But if he wants just a good overall truck, nothing can beat the allison and the Duramax has proved itself.

[JDiepstra]

I was just kidding around but since you like to talk trucks I will go ahead and tell you that my HTS built billet transmission will destroy an Allison! Yes it was a little pricey but will last forever and take a huge pounding and smile about it.

But I guess I will concede you are right stock for stock the Allison beats the 48RE but I am wondering how the 68RE in the new 6.7 Dodge will compare....... Seems much more stout.

Seems much more stout.Oh i know your kidding. But you see, you had to put that in as an aftermarket part. All our fire trucks have cummins and and allison. Perfect combo.

[JDiepstra]

Same name, but not the same trans in the firetruck as the pickup!

Sorry to derail thread OP. :hammerhead:

I seriously doubt that is an option.

Depending on the placement of the trap and the type of trap, on a leghold you can bend the wire to a certain way to where the animal can go into the water and never come back up the wire. Or if the leg hold is just set there on the ground, you can kill the animal with a hatchet or you can use a gun to the head..

On a conibear, they kill themselves instantly, so nothing to worry about there..

I seriously doubt that is an option.

thats what I was thinking.. LOL..

Tstuts, everything looks great!

[mowerdude777]

Congrats on the major purchase, I remember my first wb. After that you will not even want to use a 21

[slamjamrockinman]

That is so true, I HATE using my 21 inch now. Any ways, nice mower! Get a nice sulky and you'll be set!!!

[tstutz]

we have acually two 2500hd chevys. one is an 04 with the 6 liter 4x4 extended cab with 47,000 miles on it and it sits in the garage most of the time. also my dads work truck is an 04 reg cab 2500hd 4x4. nice trucks with plenty of power just bad gas milage.

also i have a velke 2x that the mower came with. it seems to wiggle back and forth alot though. but it's extremely handy on large accounts. but if i want straight lines i will just walk behind it.

[KCfireman]

I should be out there around mid to late july.

[rusty_keg_3]

Looks good, nice job keep the pics commin

[KCfireman]

KSU is gonna get their assess handed to them this year in football bump

[tstutz]

here are a few pictures from today. mowed with the 52" scag hydro. not double cut by the way. also i bought a new echo blower from the dealer. i love it.

[clean_cut]

I have the same mower as you, scag 52" hydro. Mine doesn't stripe like that though, do yiou have a stripe kit? Maybe a diffrent deck, mine's an advantage if that makes any diffrence.

[93Chevy]

Looks real good man. I'm glad you like your new WB.

Which Echo blower did you get?

[tstutz]

no stripe kit here. i have the same deck. i here alot of people talk about pitching the mower correctly, and i have tried it but i find that if i just set it with no pitch then it stripes better. i just go slow and mow it decently high. 3 inches or so.

[tstutz]

diamonds! done with the scag

[93Chevy]

Looks real good man.

[tstutz]

thanks! i love just staring at the yard. haha

[collegefundms]

I have my farm permit too!

[punt66]

ohhhh well either way I am still not a fan of killing any animal but that's a whole different subject! Well let me take that back almost any animal I eat the crap out of some meat. *trucewhiteflag*


If you eat meat then you have no business judging hunters. Animals have a much better life in the wild then penned up and abused at a farm.
