It's quite funny how these young kids want to race me in my Forester

Why are you having to remove the deck,Doc,maintenance,or storage,with the size of your sheds,I wouldn't have thought it would be the latter?We had two John Deere ride ons' (38,and 54 inch deck)good,but oh so slow.Have you thought about a zero turn,if it takes you two hours to mow your place,you will halve that time to one hour on a skid steer,as they mow at twice the speed,and they are just so maneuverable in tight places.If you like the John Deere product,I'm sure (with the amount of money you are prepared to spend on a new one) they would bring a demo out for you to try,and Kubota,Toro both put out good domestic type models
Here's a link to a John Deere 60 inch deck skid steer ($8,990) to give you an idea
http://www.mowerwarehouse.com.au/zero-turn...-turn/z665.html
It used to take close to ten days to mow the farm on a ride on,but with the two skid steers we can do the 100 acres in two days (or four on my own),which is handy because at this time of the year,with the ambient temperature staying above 19 degrees C,the grass grows at one inch a day.
So do some research,on zero turns,Doc,you wont regret it




The new Toro came up alright with a tub,it has 14 inch wheels,the Kubota 16 inch,and I can't catch it

Well,there you go,I just learned something,bet you are proficient at chop sicks though

So if one were to posses a large collection of British golden shower and fisting movies, that collection might be quite valuable to Pommy sex pests?

This is the last bullet you’ll ever need — watch and see the technology for yourself

The standard for anti-personnel bullets since time immemorial has always been the hollow point. It mushrooms out on impact, giving the bullet a much larger profile and stopping it inside the target. Unlike the full-metal jacket, which is designed to wound, it will more than likely not pass through what you’re aiming at.

However, since we started using weapons, humans have never stuck with the “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” philosophy and the bullet is not exempt. This newest anti-personnel round not only replaces the hollow point bullet, it also makes it look like a sissy.

Meet the RIP round from G2 Research. Not only does this bullet look scary, it does scary things. It was intended to be used for gun-toting women against would-be attackers, and it’s guaranteed to kill anyone dumb enough to assault anyone who has this in the chamber.

G2 calls it “the last round you will ever need” and describes its effects as “radically invasive.” As you’ll see in the video, the bullet doesn’t just stay in one piece upon entering it’s target. The round uses its forward momentum to send the edges of the bullet ripping apart into your attacker. This not only puts a round into the target, it also sends shrapnel into various parts of the body as well, effectively destroying vital organs.

At this time, G2 only has a 9mm version but plans to create various other calibers, including the 45 and shotgun slugs.

V8 Supercars opens door to turbo V4s, V6s


New engines, brands and body types are set to join the V8 Supercar Championship Series. 

Turbo-charged four and six cylinder engines, and even coupes, will be allowed to race in the V8 Supercars championship from 2017.

It's part of a radical shake-up of the series unveiled by chief executive James Warburton today.

The blueprint for the 2017 season and beyond opens the door for new engine and body types to compete alongside the current V8 sedans.

The cars must be publicly available for sale in Australia, have front-mounted engines, be rear-wheel and right-hand drive, and include a full four-seat configuration.

All entries, though, will use the existing 'Car of the Future' chassis and control components and be subject to engine and aerodynamic parity rules.

The plan has been unanimously approved by the V8 Supercars board.

Warburton promises the cars will continue to be loud and high-powered, regardless of what engine is run.

"We will not compromise our DNA - fast, loud and fierce racing," he said.

"The sheer brute power and sound of V8 Supercars is synonymous with the sport.

"A key area will be retaining the acoustic effect of high-powered race cars no matter the engine or make."

The former Channel 10 boss said while core support for the sport was strong, opening it up to brands other than the current five - Ford, Holden, Mercedes-Benz AMG, Nissan and Volvo - would have "substantial appeal", particularly to younger fans.

Among possible new manufacturers is Lexus, with the Japanese carmaker reportedly already in high-level talks about contesting its recently-launched two-door RC F.

"It is imperative to keep the sport relevant to the current environment, entertaining and, critically, viable for the race teams," Warburton said.

"The current climate in world motorsport is absolutely clear: manufacturers want choice in what they go racing with, otherwise they won't participate."

Over the next 12 months, two working groups will draft technical specifications and rules for the new Gen2 Supercar model.

Draft guidelines will be published by mid next year, with testing set to begin from February 2016.

The new plans come after Ford Australia confirmed on Monday it was pulling its support from the category at the end of the 2015 season.

The writing was on the wall for the manufacturer's withdrawal after it revealed plans in 2013 to close its Australian plants by October 2016 and cease production of its Falcon.

I have a spastic pallette.

had to remove the deck as because the center blades were all jammed up from long vines tangled up in there..
its not that often i have to remove it. maybe once a year i do just to clean it up and grease it.
its not that slow for my property really, its 24hp and has a 62" deck. tight spaces isnt really a problem here.
i can usualy knock it over it about an hour, if longer i just factor in doing the edges around the house first..
neighbour next door has a skid steer john deere.. quite larger one actually.
thanks for the info there shuffs.. i will look into them. wont be upgrading any time soon as yet. current one is still in pretty good
nic.. had it for about 10 years i think. was just raging at it the other day becuase it
was being difficult and didnt want to lock back on, just like that idea of the auto connect ones..
put new blades on it last year so still cuts pretty well.

but yes if im going to spend that much coin i might as them to bring one one to test it out.

'mericans, inventing new and faster ways to take each other out.

Ooh and secondly, you are aware that hollowpoint is actually designed to SAVE lives, hence why it is used by police forces globally?

A full-metal-jacket (FMJ) bullet is one designed not to expand at all. It is the standard military ammo under the terms of the Geneva Convention. I suppose the idea is that FMJ bullets are 'humane,' less likely to kill (and more likely to maim thus inflicting more 'cost' on the 'enemy.' A wounded soldier requires two or more to remove the wounded from the battle front and then treat). FMJ bullets are also more likely to penetrate light armor.

Man f'king no one will ever race me hey, dont know why, no M badge = nothing to fear right But seriously no one ever wants a bar, not even commys ?

And before anyone has a go at me for being a reckless animal on the road, only ever even try when its an empty road ahead...

That bullet will come in real handy at the next high school/university massacre,they are their own worst enemy,there is absolutely no call for a projectile like that,hollow point is bad enough,but the damage that one does
