Chadf Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 So I've already made a complete build list for a rimless tank around 75 gal. While it has renewed my interest in the hobby I'm afraid once the build is over so will be the fun. Option two is walk into the John deere dealer with a big wad of cash and buy the new mower I've been wanting. Then start saving my pennies over the next year and come back later. After a year of saving money I'll be more certain whether or not I want to go ahead with another build. Buy the Deere? Link to comment
markalot Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 You want to buy a ####ing lawn mower? Anyway, that's my answer. Link to comment
Chadf Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 You want to buy a ####ing lawn mower? Anyway, that's my answer. I'm sick of messing around with cheap Craigslist mowers. Buying a new one was my plan whether or not I broke the tank down, my budget is just bigger now. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 If you buy a Deere buy it from a dealer. A John Deere from Home Depot is made for HD and they are junk. Well all John Deeres are junk in my book . I only buy Wright mowers. So I've already made a complete build list for a rimless tank around 75 gal.

GlassHouse Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 P So I've already made a complete build list for a rimless tank around 75 gal. While it has renewed my interest in the hobby I'm afraid once the build is over so will be the fun. Option two is walk into the John deere dealer with a big wad of cash and buy the new mower I've been wanting. Then start saving my pennies over the next year and come back later. After a year of saving money I'll be more certain whether or not I want to go ahead with another build. Buy the Deere? Seriously? Buy a bottle of Roundup and a new tank. I can't believe this is even a question. Link to comment
DRLOVEtoreef Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 It is hard to beat the joy of a good machine ... Hard to beat a kick ass mower Link to comment
Chris! Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 If you buy a Deere buy it from a dealer. A John Deere from Home Depot is made for HD and they are junk. Well all John Deeres are junk in my book . I only buy Wright mowers. Also if you are this concerned about being bored you need a break! Totally agree..... except I am an exmark guy myself. Totally agree here too.... Although a bigger tank won't get full quite as fast which means it could prolong the joy before it gets boring struggling to find room for new pieces. Also the problems you were having towards the end definitely made it easy to get bored... or aggravated to the point you think you're bored. Link to comment

Chadf Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Can it mow algae And why did you take it Down It just wasn't fun for me any more. I'm thinking about setting up a little 12" cube with a sump in the meantime. Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 It just wasn't fun for me any more. I'm thinking about setting up a little 12" cube with a sump in the meantime. I feel the same way about my 40 from time to time. Then I'll clean the hell out of it and make it look all pretty again so I appreciate it more, lol. Seems to be working for now, the tank is over 3 years old. Will the cube be SPS dominant as well? Link to comment
