I bought another Deere......

I thought I'd have a little fun with this. I was in Tractor Supply yesterday buying oats, and there's a whole rack of these small farm toys. I dug through the JD stuff and found this little X7xx, about $3. Wish that was all I had paid for my real one.

You know how the JD site tells you what lawn size is ideal for a given model? This one would be about right for a chessboard-sized lawn.

It's more like a 2- incher. I tried sharpening the blades, but one pass with a nail file and they were eat up.

There was a lot of grass to be mowed on the Great Plains. He-Rides-on-Mowers was always wishing he'd gotten a larger deck, but was very glad of the extra power when pulling a travois.

My entry in the caption contest:
"Runs-With-Scissors was jealous of the Tatonka Deere and tried to shoot him through the heart with his bow and arrow. Tatonka Deere had big medicine and kept right on going".

Khodges Your first Picture in your first post reminds me on one Christmas. I was unrapping a tiny little Box and it had a JD key in it and the wife and inlaws said there was a New Deere in the garage for me. I go out to look. In the Center of the Garage floor sit's a Precision Model of a Deere 720 with a loader,Rear Blade and a Weatherbreak.:sidelaugh
