So I bought a new one. Time to watch Mr. Regular’s Yard Man review again.

Once the free labor went to college my dad just started paying someone to do it.

Who are you and have you done to the real Dr.Zoidberg? I don’t see the words “Toyota” and/or “Celica” anywhere in this post.

Lawn mowers. The biggest waist of money ever. It does one damn job, and that’s all. It has a 5HP or more engine up front, but it can’t blow leaves, or snow, can’t grind up branches into mulch. Nothing but cut grass. Shit, I have a electric leaf blower that can at least mulch leaves and act as a vacuum as well. Can’t someone make a lawn mower with a power take off and some useful accessories? That would be real handy. Oh, and make it not cost $3,000.
Sorry, shouldn’t rant like that. Must be the 5" of snow that came down today. You purchased a very nice mower. Enjoy.

I use our mower to do all those things. It won’t bag the leaves, but with some careful planning, I get everything moved/blown into one large pile and rake it from there.
There are lots of dedicated machines, but the most single purpose one in my mind is an edger. I still want one. The results from a weed eater just aren't. as crisp.

Yeah, I use my mower to blow the leaves into a pile, then rake them onto a tarp to bring them to the curb for the city to pick up. It just seems a waste of a good engine for it to be really useful for one thing. The Troy-Bilt flex unit someone posted seems a step in the right direction, with the motor unit costing about $300-$400, then accessories, mower/snow blower/leaf blower/power washer, etc. from $200-$400 as well. So, for about $1,200 or so, you could have a mower, leaf & snow blower, with the ability to add more as needed. Still, the reviews were mixed, with the majority stating it is a big, heavy unit, and a bit cumbersome as well. If it keeps in production, maybe it will get better & smaller as it goes along.

That’s the problem with being a jack of all trades - it can do all the jobs, but it can’t do them as efficiently or precisely and is more awkward than a dedicated tool. I find that a dedicated tool is usually the better tool for the job. I reminded myself just last night by trying to use a screwdriver handle as an impromptu hammer.
