Hi
I think some of us are being cautious for a reason.It's his tractor or mower on the line, if he wants to mow 120 acres with it then fine, I have mowed big acres on the seed farm borders with 8 ft, you got to love your job those days.

if he used the guys mower he needs to cover potential loss or damage to his tractor,or problems with the mower that might bite him and cost him thousands, with the guy knowingly stitching him up or bad machine maitenence!. Lots of us have been round to long and seen this or had it happen before.
I had guys used to undercut me with brand new backhoes to get work( maybe the guys trying for cheap to). Their attitude was Warranty covered it if it broke, so they undercut more. Ok have at it I quit and left them to it. Yeah warranty was real good when they went charging into the job site with out looking to put on a "look at me show". Then drove over the old harrow laying in the grass, wrecking 4 new tires.
All of them then found they had to pay running costs and repairs Like he has to . loads of them found the machines gone to one morning when the repo guy came visiting.
There was a reason i ran an older machine like his outfit. I owned it and if it sat 12 months without moving nobody was coming for it or the keys.
Every job has potential for problems or major headaches. I learned some and will look at things figuring out the risk or if the guys genuine, and walk if I feel it's not right for my time or equipment now. He has to make that choice to exactly the same.
Regards Robert

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
