Does anyone know about the Scotts ride on mowers sold at Home Depot?
They're made by Deere, but are they close enough to the real thing for
my (non-commercial) use? In particular I'm eyeing the 16hp, 42"
hydrostatic unit that's about $1800 without a bagger. This is my first
ride on, is there anything unobvious I should look for?
Followup on the Pergo -- Just about anything seems to cut it well
enough. A fine blade in a saber saw, a fine blade in a circular saw,
and a 12" Ridgid miter saw with the 40 tooth framing blade it came with.
They all cut it plenty cleanly, especially since the cuts all end up
under baseboard molding or heater grates.
Other Pergo tips
-- have lots of those ratcheting pull strap clamps on hand. You can buy
them, but the Home Depot near me rents a box with about 8 of them.
-- the glue sets up faster than you think it will, especially in
blistering 70 degree Seattle heat. Get those gaps cinched up pronto.
See previous tip about lots of straps.

While there I also checked out the new line of John Deere trimmers.
These
are the same trimmers that are carried by the John Deere dealers, not
just
a Home Depot special. Sorry to say that it is a Homelite, just
different
stickers and green instead of red. Stay away from these.
