wanted to get some opinions on Yanmar compact tractors. I’m looking for a new tractor for my new 17 acre property. this will be used for some brush hogging, and primarily pulling a land plane and box blade to maintain my 1/2 mile long gravel driveway.

A dealer near me has a YT347 new with loader for 45k out the door. seems like a great deal a ton of tractor for a great price. I can’t imagine I’ll ever need a larger tractor and I’m in love with the concept of the IHMT transmission. plus a 10 year warranty

am I overlooking something?

noticed something strange on my panomatic inverse today

its been sitting for a few weeks and I wanted to wear it. pulled it out of the box and started winding. got to about 20 turns and noticed it still wasn’t running. I pulled the crown out as if to set the time, put it back in and it started running immediately and seems to be keeping time

is this something to be concerned with?

follow up post from the other day where I had my sleep study and how much better I felt after being put on the cpap for A few hours

well the results are in and numbers don’t lie

during the study with no cpap I had an AHI of 77

with CPAP AHI was 3

no wonder I felt so good! Can’t wait to get started!!!

oh my god people. it was incredible. I fell asleep around 930pm. They came back in around midnight and offered to put me on the cpap machine with nasal pillows ( I have a large beard). I put it on and o my lord it was like breathing in high definition….. I can not believe how much better it felt to sleep. it was incredible! I’m so excited to get my machine for real and finally get some good sleep!!!

We are looking to add a hot tub at our home. Currently looking at the Jacuzzi J508 or 508L and I really would like to have a motorized cover vs manual open. However, I can't seem to find any options other than covana, and I've seen some really concerning reviews about covana so not sure I feel comfortable with that brand. Any other recomendations

Looking at 3 diff zero turn mowers and would like some opinions. Total mowing area is 3 acres not many hills but total property is 17 acres so as we clear more areas in the future to build a detached garage and a shop probably end up with around 4-5 acres of mowing

im currently considering 3 mowers, dealer support for all 3 in the area is solid. All are Kawasaki engines and 60” decks

1. JD Z930M

2. Scag tiger cat ii

3. Ferris isx2200

I like the Deere since im also looking at compact tractors but i feel like the scag and Ferris having efi for the same price as the z930 makes me lean more that way. I’d be about 4K more expensive to get a JD with an efi engine

i think for me the scag is in the lead but would love input

Good Evening reddit,

We are purchasing a new home with more yard then I have ever had. It's a 17 acre property that will have approx 3.5-5 acres cleared with lawn that will need mowing. There will also be the sides on either side of my driveway that is about 1/4 mile long and has about 8 feet on either side of the gravel that will need mowed.

Pretty dead set on the Ferris ISX2200 60" deck to pick up. However, I wanted to ask thoughts on engine choice. It's offered with the Briggs vanguard or Kawasaki EFI. I was originally leaning Kawasaki but I have talked to the 2 dealers in my area and both only stock Briggs and exclusively recommend Briggs. This was a surprise to me. They said they've had more issues in recent years with the kawi engines? This is definitely directly in contradiction with what I've read....... wanted to solicit some more opinions? What say you redditors?

I'm really torn on this reddit and would love some advice on if I'm right to be upset.. or if I'm just being overly sensitive to a situation.

To make a longish story brief, my wife and I are relocating as a part of a new position for me at work. We have known and communicated with family that this move would likely come at some point over the last 2-3 years. My wife has health issues and can not always work a steady job so we choose to prioritize my career as I can sustain our life on one income if she is out of work for extended periods of time. My wife and I are also not super happy in our current place we live, don't love the cost of living, and don't love the harsh winters. With this move we are going further south.

Here's where the issue comes in, when the news broke about this officially her mom was to say the last not thrilled. I understand being upset but relocating and growing up is a part of life and I guess what I didn't expect was the outright anger/venom that we got from her mom. She called me controlling, and that I was mean for taking her daughter aways, she also got upset that my parents are also considering to relocate south with us (not living with us but buying their own place) my parents are retired, they don't love the winter weather and they enjoy being near us. Called my parents overbearing and that they are stupid for moving, yes she used the word stupid. My wife also found a house that fits all her needs/wants and really is her dream house and we are buying it at the end of may so to say we are excited is an understatement.

For added context my parents live 20 min from us, her mom used to be the same but moved about 3 hours away(for a promotion at her job hypocritical to be so mad at us lol). for all holidays, my parents take a backseat and we normally will do a dinner the weekend before/after thanksgiving or christmas and we reserve the main holiday day for her mom and travel to see her. This has been consistent throughout the entire relationship, we used to even do weekly dinners when her mom was close to us, something we've never done with my parents. I love my parents but I just am more independent, my parents and I talk once a week or so but that's about it maybe thats not normal? IDK So it never really bothered me that we prioritized her mom because it seemed more important to them than it did to me or my parents.

so to say that my MIL has been given preferential treatment is more than fair in this case. My parents have never ever uttered a bad word about my wife to me, or to my wife. or about my mother in law and if they did I'd 100% tell them to their face it's inappropriate and wouldn't accept an inch of that

All of this has been going on for about 2-3 weeks and I'm really upset because I felt like I had a great relationship with my MIL but the venom she's spewed about my parents and I has me second guessing any sort of bond we ever had. The other frustrating point is that my wife hasn't really done much to hold her accountable or even confronted her about all of this. It feels like we are just going to "let her have her tantrum" and then move on when she decides to get over it.... and I have to be honest IDK if I'm ok with that. I'm not trying to be the person to tell my wife to not have a relationship with her mom, but frankly I don't really want much to do with her until she would at a bare minimum acknowledge that her outbursts were uncalled for and apologize.

but I don't see any way for that to happen without her going absolutely nuclear and probably never talking to my wife or I again and I don't want to do that to my wife but I'm not only hurt by the words from my MIL but also hurt that my wife isn't pushing back what so ever.

So tell me redditors do I just need to get over this or am I right to be upset? How would you proceed.. Thanks in advance but just really needed to get this off my chest.
