Pics of my Crew Chief
Here is a pic of my wife, who I would rate with anyone when it comes to running a mower.

Actually - She does not smoke, and does not normally wear a hat - especially backwards, but thought it made a neat pic. I will say that when I turn her loose, she can whack a lot of acres in a very short time. I just need more acres to do to keep her boredome down.
Thanks Brad

LA - It is a 9 1/2 foot mower that eats acres like a monkey eats bananas, and still can mow between 26" apart tombstones. Little ol 455 JD with an extra 15 HP Kohler. Someone on Lawnsite nick named it the Flex-Deck Monster, and that is what it is. Here is a 7 acre property - (70 minutes)
