Default When should I mow new turf?

Just what kind of mower has that much vacuum?


that'd be the JimBob special. taking a B&S 6hp and ripping that
plastic crap carburetor off and replacing it with one of the metal
ones salvaged from the bone yard with both screw adjustments
available I can achieve 3800 to 4200 hundred RPM. then add a high
lift blade and you got some vacuum.

yep, fire one of these up in a neighborhood filled with girlie guys
and you can generate 15 calls to 911 in less than 3 minutes, unless
they're all out at sears shopping...
