I like both of them. How is the sprayer powered and does it detach?

Powered off the battery of the tractor. Three pins and sprayer comes off.

Why did you get two of them? You must mow grass for a living or something?

Man! Must be nice! When I was twelve we had 5 acres to mow and my dad set me out on a 70's model Wheel Horse with a 36" deck and said "mow it boy!" I spent all weekend mowing that yard several times!

Having the sprayer run off the tractor battery is great. Never would have thought of it. Im used to having a separate motor.

Oh man! I just thought I had it bad! I am so sorry to hear that man.

We should start a support group or something! Boy times were tuff back in the old days when I was a young un, you know, back in the 90's!
But hey, gas was cheap, summer lasted longer and I had no worries! What happened?

Been there, done that! With a big wheel Yazoo mower.

The greatest day in my life is when my Dad bought our first tractor (Kubota) back in the mid 70's with a bush hogger.

That still aint nothin. I had to mow 5 acres too. It was all uphill on all 4 sides. Had a dull push reel mower. He would make us shovel the snow off, cut the grass then put the snow back how we found it. And that was in July.
