As sort of an extension from Stew's most excellent poem on Bolens ownership & collecting, I thought it would be neat to take a poll to see how often we operate our favorite machines.

I don't technically have a Bolens, the G152 is an Iseki (with a Bolens name plate) and the GTX 20, while designed by Bolens, was built by Garden Way and has a Troy Bilt name plate. With that said, when the grass gets cut (4-5 weeks if I'm lucky) it's done with one of these tractors.

Mine has sat all winter, but has been busy this spring getting the garden ready. I am in the process of switching it over to mowing duty at the moment. It will likely be out mowing once or twice a week now till late fall. Then it will be parked again till spring.

All 7 TFs and 3 LFs are not currently running. Some day I'll get around to them.

How often do I want to ride them?? I'd say 7 days a week.
How often do I have time to ride them?? I had to vote for spontaneous.
Unfortunately time is an issue for me, so its much easier to mow with my newer SCUT w/60"mmm than any of my tube frames. I have recently thought about selling the SCUT to free up money for a bigger house, than getting a few nice large frames, one with mower deck, tiller, plow blade, snow blower and the other equipped with FEL. Than 7 days a week is possible!

I had to vote 2-3 days a week, as that would be an average. Might be more like 1-2 days but it depends. Should be 7 days a week!!

Still rebuilding my G14 but look at it every day thinking not far off now. It all works etc but it's the fettling that takes the time to get it absolutely perfect. Then there is the cost of buying and shipping parts from the US, that holds things up :-(
