Don't Be a Complacent Cubber
Posted: Mon May 12, 2008 6:58 pm
For 13 1/2 yr. I've been working on getting my landcaping here to be "right" for the run-off and get a good bermuda lawn seeded. Looks like I will get it done this year, THANKS TO MY CUBS AND TOOLS. Since late Feb, this year my Cubs have been reshaping the rock pile I live on, and have burned up over 75 gallons of gas without missing a beat. Imagine this, "getting it done" and using your Cubs. I have had the time of my life.... (almost was )...I would have died happy
When i tipped over last Monday it was due to my own complacency.
I had made that same turn around that same tree at least four times discing last week end on standard Cub and loboy. It was not the safest turn (uphill around a tree), but it was not off limits like some other grades here are. The standard Cub has made this turn lots of times, discing, mowing and raking, i even felt better/safer on Tuffy.
Last Monday i was tired, and just finishing up for the day. Hey, I had become a pro operater now and everything was shaping up just fine. One more day or so and I would be ready to seed...NOT. Still have not finished discing, but I'm going to finish tomorrow, or give her a good try.
It might be too easy for us to fall into this over confident and complacent mode, crawling along about 4 or 5 mph, listening to music or worse talking on the cell phone.
Stay focused and remember what happened to me. Oh and stay away from trees. These Cubbies will crawl right up the side if you get the left rear tire squarely onto the trunk
I'll put more pictures up here later.
