I have cub Cadet Zt1 50 inch cut mower. It has less tha 100 hours on it currently. When i parked it in the garage last fall it was fine. Went to get it out and now the right rear wheel will not turn. I released both bypass levers and the wheel would not move. If the bypass levers are in the position for mowing normally only the left wheel engages. I did notice the the handles were not even when mowing straight. It would veer to the right needing the right lever to be moved forward to keep...

I have an old toro z420 I picked up needing an engine and after swapping the engine it won't charge. I put a Briggs and Stratton 18hp ic I had laying around on it. Voltage from the stator is 26v and coming out of the rectifier it's 20 volts (definitely high) but when I plug it into the battery there is no change in battery voltage. Is this just a back rectifier? It's brand new, but is a cheap one from Amazon. Or is this a different issue ..read more

I have a tx1000 and just the other day started having an issue at 160 hours on the thing! The throttle won’t stay on full, it backs itself down to like 3/4 throttle when running. When I was in the mowing game, I had this happen on a weight stander and I tightened the cable which fixed it. But for this machine, it isn’t in plain sight, wanted to see any input before I go taking it apart in any way ..read more

Okay pros, let’s here you opinion. Trying to get back in the biz, I’m pretty knowledgeable but since covid and crazy prices, I’m searching the used market. If I have to go new I will but I want to minimize debt but obviously I don’t want to get junk and end up costing more than new all said and done. I found a used 2020 Toro Grandstand 52” in good shape, well maintained, but has 1700 hours on it. I’m pretty sure it’s a business selling it. So I know there can be some risks, but just starting...

For those that are using momentum FX2 on cool season turf and running a Z-Spray, what tips are y'all running? I can get about 18 gallons per acre using the lavender tips and haven't had any issues but the label mentions "apply 3 to 4 pints of this product in enough water to deliver 20 to 200 gallons of total spray mix per acre." I feel like spraying slightly less hasn't hindered my results but wanted to know what others have experienced ..read more

What’s your uniform policy for a new hire? Do you charge for them? Do you have them return clothing if they quit?
I used to have 3-4 shirts ready on day one that I’d give a new hire, plus a hat.
Now I just have a new hire wear a safety vest over their clothing for 1-2 weeks before I give them company purchased anything ..read more

Are there any lawn safe preemergent products that prevent regular green clover in cool season lawns?
I've been learning about preemergent for lawns. The three main active ingredients I'm aware of are Prodiamine (Barricade), Dithiopyr (Dimension), and Pendimethalin.
I found a Pendimethalin product that claims to control black clover, but I'm looking to prevent regular green clover (the one with the white flowers). I'd prefer a product that prevents dandelion and chickweed as well ..read more
