:D
I have 10 acres if Osage Orange and Honey Locust........... I feel your pain!

Place is up for sale now, living in in Manerva now. (Manerva is our motorhome)

When we sell, off in Manerva for at least a year before we build an old people friendly house with no steps.


For me it's just three acres.  Still feels too long to get it done some days.  I could get really pissed off doing 10.  Or really wasted.  Depends on the beverage with me on the mower...  ???

Well Twolane, I hope you used nitrogen to re-inflate and you know you have voided your warranty. 

Ride year round here, leaves scream all 12 months.

You also need to make sure you use the more expensive "Harley air" which is available at Harley dealers everywhere....more expensive, however it will not void your warranty.

I don't blame you one bit Don. We know what a pain in the ass those low profile mower tires are to get mounted.  Does that wheel even fit on the tire changer?

Oh my gawd.  Don't even check the price on the Screamin' Eagle upgrade to the standard Harley air.

Just be careful Don. Plugged tire and adult beverages could lead to loss of hedge

Don, My riding mower tires used to go flat.  Started using this stuff when the mower tubeless tires were new.



When a mower tire gets a leak, it seals it by some sort of sorcery.  Have used it on a couple of riding mower tire sets.  No flats.  Of course I voided all my warranties.  I priced Screamin' Eagle air.  Yee gads.  Found out there is SE pre- 2007 air and it will not work in bikes after 2007.  Something about the metric system I think.

I think with iski's advice of using the metric air it might be ok.  Might need a moderator to confirm.

Metric air is only good when installed late afternoon on Tuesday thru Thursday of the second week of the month when the ambient temps are between 77 degrees F and 83 1/2 degrees F. Also coastal air is better for sidewalls. The Lawn Boy told me about that.  :D
