Anyone have a need for an Oliver 77 Row Crop with a belly mower, I can see it to you cheap

I personally don't have enough land to justify it I have just always wanted one. The 60 inch deck chops leaves up nicely. I enjoy helping my elderly in-laws with their 5 or 6 acres and their small gardens. Regardless of if I am on my Zero turn or that tractor it is therapeutic to me when I am on it. I love to mow grass kinda like Forrest and like to help elderly people that need stuff done but can't afford it. I try make a small profit when I can and if I take a loss so be it. I am at the point in my life where it's not all about me anymore.

I like the Broncos; not really but I'm a Rockies fan a little bit so actually, depending on the time of year......


Chiefs fans that hate the Broncos remind me of Patton. "We've been fighting the wrong enemy all along."

You're not a Chiefs fan.

Looks like the Raiders would make for some good mulch today

I’ll be spreading mulch on your playoff hopes and dreams.

If you go steal a wood chipper, you can make your own mulch out of your faider gear

I too would like to submit a witty observation on the fortuitous synchrony of extolling the joys of fertilizer and supporting the Raiders.

ETA - makin' sure R8R knows it's good-natured ribbing, at least from me. A semi-retired avocation of making people's yards look nice with expertise and equipment sounds quite idyllic. Have fun, bud.

Compost/Fertilizer blend would be appropriate

Raiders deserve everything they got coming to them.

When I saw the thread title, I guess I was thinking a little more Fargo, as in "Mulch Anyone" = "This chipper will mulch anyone"

I don't hate any other teams fans. I chose to be a Chiefs fan, because I lived in KC. My cousins live in Indianapolis. I should hate them because they are Colts fans. One of my best friend is from Denver, He, gasp, is a Donks fan. Don't. Won't ever hate him.

Now GBF HATES Faider fans. That works for him. I love and respect him. But I ain't gonna hate oh Faider fans. Well, not generally...

I raised my prices and still get plenty of customers, I make atleast 100 bucks over the cost of material usually 160 for the 60 dollar a load stuff and 150 for the 40 dollar a load poplar mulch pictured below, You aren't the first who told me I was too cheap my brother in law has been a contractor for 30 years and told me to raise my prices and he was right, now I get more middle class neighborhoods than lower rent districts.

Gotta say, one of the few things St. Louis gets spot on, throughout the metro area at lesser used park grounds, they collect street sweeping and machine shredded foilage for mulch, topsoil from things like tree removal or new sidewalks, and huge sectioned hardwood from felled trees, and in the spring whatever you can haul off is yours free.

I get about a yard each of mulch and topsoil yearly for my various gardens, and the only limit is my hauling capacity and how much I feel like shoveling.

The one nearest me has a spot about the size of a smallish supermarket parking lot, with the mulch piled about 15 feet high. That part isn't public, but they have a front loader that puts out about 10-foot tall single piles of the mulch and topsoil separately in an area that is full access, and about enough random hardwood to fill 3-4 parking spaces.

Wish I had the facilities to deal with the hardwood, . . . this year they had sections of trunk that were big around enough to make tabletops from. I'm talking 3+ feet around on the flat face and anywhere from 3-5 feet thick. They also have smaller pieces, and all of it would make awesome turnings or hardwood objects worth $100s apiece if you had the machinery to work it.
