Need your opinions. I do the maintenance for a landscape companies equipment. We have 7 Exmark lawnmowers that I have maintained for 6 years. I have never had a problem till now, we have some hotshot sitting in our corporate office that thinks he knows more about machinery than I do, so checking with the experts here. I have been given a bunch of flack for how I winterized the mowers. We store the equipment in an old insulated hog barn. During the winter it is not uncommon to come in and the air is just like a rainforest, moisture is actually hanging on the wall. I have seen this happen every year since we rented this barn. Because of this, I decided not to do any oil changes in the fall. I waited till spring so any condensation in the motor would be drained out with the spring fluid change. Now the hotshot has decided that because the dealership changes oil in their winterization program, I should too. He says I need to have sharp blades on it before storage too. I always waited till spring to get new blades to keep them from rusting over winter. I know this isn't as big a deal as the oil, but it just didn't make sense to do it all in the fall. Now I am supposed to get all the equipment back out and do these tasks, after I shut off the fuel tanks and ran the carbs dry. So am I all wet or should I tell the corporate clown to go back to his bean counting? Thanks guys

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
