need lawnmower recomendation

[gf2020]

I bought one of these earlier this season for $420 and it is great.

Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

I also have a lower-end Sears model that is 5 years old now and it still runs fine. The rear wheel drive mechanism needs a little work but it it is otherwise in good shape. With 2 lawnmowers my twin sons should be able to get the lawn done in 1/2 the time, right? I've always had good luck with Craftsman power equipment. It's the same as Murray, MTD, Noma, etc.

I was thinking about buying a new 32" Ferris hydro mower for $2400. It would make short work of my 1/3 acre lot I am sure, but I just couldn't justify the price. I had no trouble buying a $32K boat and a $36K truck in the same year but I couldn't see spending big money on a mower.

cutting by the moon sign:

theres an exact science to it... and that is..........

if you want a perfect lawn ...thats lush and green you cut it
just before its going to rain when the moons in a water sign
of cancer picses or scorpio for example...
preferably before the full moon to ensure the hydroscopic pressure is building same as the tides.

but if you want to minimize growth and not have your lawn
growing GANG BUSTERS where ya have to cut it each week so you have more fishing time.

you cut it during the waning (loosing light) after the full moon
during a barren sign (air or fire) say of LEO , when theres no rain.
and slow down on the friggan Scotts fertilizer
for crying out loud.

Huh??????? What the hell are you smoking? Weed? Grass? Lawn? It's all the same. Put the peace pipe down for a little bit there Raven.

I also have an old Lawn Boy. Getting close to 20 years old now. It's a 4 stroke motor though. I want a new mower, but this one won't die. The only thing not original is the spark plug and a new blade this year.
