Cool Time to retire the 1968 Cub Cadet 125 from mowing duty

I purchased the 125 in 2003 when Mary and I purchased this house. It's done a great job and is being replaced by a 2025 Ariens Ikon zero turn with a 52" cut powered by 23 hp Kawasaki

We also purchased a 21" Toro self propelled mower with electric start

RWD ~ It's Orange ~

The RM 453 T from STIHL is a GASOLINE Burnin' single speed lawn mower designed for users looking to cut medium sized to large lawns.

Part of a new range of 4 Series petrol lawn mowers, it's fitted with innovative key features that make this the ideal choice.

This lawn mower is built with a rugged polymer deck that is lightweight, rust-proof and double layered for additional stability.

It's UV and Gasoline Spill-resistant too.

The RM 453 T has a 21" cutting width and single point height adjustment that is adjustable even for dwarfs like ZEEK.

The EVC 300 engine is easy to start too meaning you can effortlessly get to work makin yer lawn look like Augusta in April

You can either 1 cut and collect with the grass catcher box fitted, 2 cut and drop by removing the grass catcher box, 3 side discharge with the flap that is integrated into the deck, or 4 mulch with the multi-blade and mulching attachment.

The sturdy mono-handlebar is height adjustable and foldable for compact storage after use

I've been using an Ariens Ikon 52 with Kawasaki motor for several years now, no complaints. Saves alot of time over a traditional riding mower.

We haven't mowed our lawn in over a year. Got one of these to handle the chore.
