Yep, we been going back and forth on this a while. I think the next one will be a tree service bucket. Very much needed in N.

Also note they are stepping away from MoW trucks.
There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

Awesome...    Funny I was just about to suggest one of these.

I would love to see a tamper to go with the other mow machines.

1969, thinking about bumping to 71 or 73 though.

Too modern for me also, but still pretty snazzy.

Hubba. My first thought was "how long before @daniel_leavitt2000 turns that bucket into some sort of fire truck snorkel.

Way too modern for me. Call me when they offer something nifty from pre-1945.

I see a windshield, does this mean that they are finally providing pre-formed glazing?
