Too nice to haul around the firewood with, probably will keep hanging onto the Deere LX188 indefinitely to save the new one from abuse.
FIL is moving to the mountains and has no use for a lawnmower any more. He's giving me a good deal on his very nice looking Craftsman YTS4500. Has a 26hp Kohler in it and a smallish (42") deck, but should be perfect for my lawn. Too bad that it's red, but I've never had a tractor with a shiney hood before!
Will be picking up the mower in 2 weeks. Haven't decided whether to take the truck or the Honda +trailer. I hit a few tolls (they really screw you with a trailer) and mpgs decrease and before you know it the cost of the trip is about the same between what is normally a 25mpg SUV and a 13mpg truck.
