Let's Talk Mower Safety

As you can probably tell by the picture I should practice what I teach. This happened to me over the weekend while in a hurry to cut grass.  I forgot all the rules of running a lawnmower.  Let's review them so this doesn't happen to you. 
  • Make sure all items of importance are clear of the mowing area.( children, pets, adults and anything you don't want destroyed )
  • Check the area before mowing, picking up any rocks, sticks, or debris.
  • Make sure all safety equipment is attached to mower such as deflectors, stone guards, etc.
  • Always point the discharge of mower away from objects that can be broken.
  • Always wear hearing and eye protection
This turned out to be a expensive repair for something I could of avoided if I would of followed these rules.  The rock that hit my rear window came out of the mower like a bullet.  I'm thankful it was something I could replace.

Aeration

My good friend Brent from CHM Inc has a new website.  Brent specializes in lawn aerations and gemneral lawn services.  I've used CHM for 5 years aerating my lawn spring and summer and it does make a big difference for healthy turf.

Terry one our super techs just finished servicing a Simplicity Sunstar that was traded in.  The engine was just shortblocked earlier this year and a new electric clutch was installed about a month ago.  It has a 20HP Kohler engine, 48" deck, 42" snowthrower, and a snow cab.  All of the attachments are shaft driven.  This unit is in excellent shape(I was tempted to keep it for my personal use but my garage is already stuffed with stuff).  We're asking $3599.00 for the complete package.

I should have pictures and more information posted on the website later.

Hope you all have a great and safe week.  I see the glass repairman in my driveway.
