    I hadn’t mixed anything in a while so when I went downstairs to work out I saw the new bottle of cookie crack was steeped enough and poured off two ten ml bottles. I added Inw raspberry concentrate to one and bakery orange to the other. I’ll let them sit at least a few days and try them.
    Hopefully you’ll like both.:)

    When needed, I run mine up on a pair of car ramps and hose it out. Yeah, soggy grass, rusted deck!
    My previous X739, I use to use ramps. This new toy (Kubota BX23S) I use the Front End Loader to raise the front off the ground to about a 60° angle. I've got an extreme case of OCD, when it comes to taking care so things don't rust, considering.

    My John Deere rider has a great feature. You attach a hose to a fixture on top of the deck. Start the water running and spin the blade for a while. The blade throws the water around and the underside of the deck comes out sparkly clean.

    My previous mower was a JD push mower. Still working like a dream after almost 10 years, brilliant engine. I did all the maintenance, except for years I was lazy about cleaning the grass off the underside of the deck and the deck just rusted through. Still it gave me an excuse to get a rider. It took me 4 hours to mow the lawn before and it was getting harder. Now I can do it in 40 mins sitting down.

    My JDX739 was a nice machine. I set it up FT Mulch. It also had the hose connection. I thought it's intended use to be laughable. The deck on mine was drive-over. I mowed, removed, attached the Boom Pole to the 3PH, then carried the deck to the wash area for a bath. After last cutting of the season, the underside got pressure washed. The X739 was a nice machine. Had I not wanted a FEL and rear PTO, I'd have kept it. IT WAS A V-TWIN GAS GUZZLER. This unit I have now sips fuel.

    The hose connection is a very nice reature.

    Morning, mixers.

    Rain said to be back later today. Maybe heavy, although the maps do suggest the worst of it will be on the coast and north of us. Still expect a bunch. Of course, enough sun breaks that the dandelions are tall and proud ;)
