			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I had to let my helper go and now I have all my properties scheduled for 4 full days a week. We've had a ton of rain and I can't get all of the properties done each week. I never cut in the rain and when it rains I wait till it dries out before I cut. I feel like I can't get it done and don't want people calling me and complaining. Am I waiting to long for them to dry out? Do I have to many properties for one guy? Should I let some of the crappy accounts go to free up some time? Maybe I need a part time guy to come help me 2-3 days a week?<br />

What rate are you guys getting the best control?  Could I use the law rate for march and June and then a higher rate for September?<br />

Anyone tried the stihl fogger/blower for this type application?<br />

I really wish there was an inexpensive solution for beds. My mowing guys and customers would love me if I could keep bed weeds gone!!!</div>

On the lawns that have an infestation of Quackgrass, something in the mix seems to be hurting the Quack.  It is consistent from lawn to lawn.  The Quack won't die, but it looks yellow/brown and really ugly looking right now, a week after application.  <br />

Is it the Triclopyr?  <br />

Didn't expect this effect on a nasty grassy rhizomous weed.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Today I attended an estate sale, now granted being the contractor at this estate for the last 3 months I saw a lot of what was going to be auctioned but the one thing that caught my eye was a very well kept ex mark z turn, in this old guys shop. I don't know Z turns other then the gravely I have. The mower would have been sitting for 19 months so there was no juice so there was nothing I could tell other then it looked very new, the paint is still on the deck etc and dry rotted/cracked tires. What I am trying to determine is what model it is so I am able to get parts.<br />
<br />
Here's what I see<br />
The front of the deck says Triton 50 (50&quot;?)<br />
22hp kohl er(manufactured 2008)<br />
<br />
Serial #N537688<br />
<br />
Now I bought a new battery drained the tanks added fresh fuel and after bought 30 secs of cranking It fired upped through a little smoke and smoothed right out. engaged the deck and cut the front of my house, no issues other then the tires, the rears will need to be replaced, <b><i>any suggestions</i></b><br />
<br />
there is 713hrs on it and I paid $1,400. going to change the oil see what I can grease but I would appreciate any input u all could give me as to what I have and what I should be looking at</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I currently do some lawncare, landscaping, and maintenance for a individual 25-30 hours a week, mostly 8-1 and 8-5 on Saturdays.  The last couple of years I have experimented with my shirts.  Initially just plain tees, then venturing over to sleeveless whereas shoulder got burnt and it didn't seem cooler, then back to cotton tees, and then shirtless on the muggy days with no breeze.  I got a nice burn this year and just now am recovering.  I have been looking online for ideas.  I am thinking that a thin type of cotton button up shirt would be the best option, especially over polyester polos or sleeveless shirts.  I do worry about sunscreen chemicals so I was thinking that long sleeve button ups would be a good idea.  I am not having a lot of luck online.  Any suggestions, and I know the norm would be a company tee or company polo, but I am looking for something different than that since I have the option.  Thanks.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I'm getting a ton of work and want to invest in a mini skid. I'm looking for something with 30+ hp and diesel. The absolute most I can spend on a skid, the attachments, and a dump trailer is 20k. For attachments Im thinking a 4 in 1 bucket, a leveler, and an auger.<br />
<br />
My real question goes out to any owners. If business is good right now I believe I can hop on the opportunity of having a great reputation to snag more jobs. I'm trying to justify the massive expense with real world gains on the investment. Will buying a mini skid open new doors for me? Or will it just help me finish my jobs quicker? What are the actual labor hours saved by having this machine on the jobsite? How quickly does the machine pay itself off? <br />
<br />
Please leave the responses to actual owners.</div>
