Used my daughters good old trusty Simplicity 717 to mow my lawn for the first time. 50 year old tractor mowed it beautifully. I will post pics of my shed in a bit, I have 3 tractors in there as of right now with more to follow.

I don't know if you can beat a Simplicity deck. looks like a big yard.

| That's a lot of mowing with a Broadmoor! I did my only mowing this year with a recently aquired 610 Allis. I forgot how fun it is to mow with them, but not nearly as fast as my 900 series hydro! |

| I have just about an acre and a half. However some of it is a pond and there is a lot of landscaping so I am mowing at best half that. My Sovereign is still mowing my dad's 2 acres until my brother purchases the house from him this fall. Then the Sovereign can come home to mow mine! |

It would seem that you have at least one child who could do the mowing or are you trying to keep all the fun to yourself? |

| Some days it's quieter mowing even with a 50 year old 7hp Briggs and Stratton at full song than inside with the 5 kids!! :) |

Even though I only have two I can identify with that! My little girl is only 13 months, can't much talk yet but she still chews her 3 year old brother a new one occasionally. Can't understand her, but we get the point.  |

| I spent a lot of time hiding in the back yard when my 4 were at home. I miss not having to do that any more. |

Too funny! And how true it is for me as well. I catch a lot of grief about my 'fetching the mail', or 'taking out the trash' trips, where I return an hour later from the shop. I cannot imagine 4 kids, much less 5!
Jon, looks like you have a fantastic new place!! The cut suits it well ;-) |
