I have the ryobi 40v blower, weedeater, edging attachment and hedge attachment along with two batteries. They have been great for the past six years.

Tip; register each item online. I had to use their warranty on a battery and because I had registered it, the process was smooth. They mailed me a new one.

Also, my string trimmer head fell apart just from so much use/abrasion. I bought an Echo speed feed 400 head and swapped out the ryobi oem. That upgrade alone brought the trimmer up a tier.

if you have two p traps along the same run of pipe, it may be forming a vacuum. One needs to be removed. I’ve seen this happen before.

Whenever researching the topic, refer to the weed as “burweed” and you will find more answers.

Here is an LSUAg article [link=(LSU Ag Burweed )]https://www.lsuagcenter.com/topics/lawn_garden/commercial_horticulture/turfgrass/turfgrass-weeds/broadleaf-weeds/lawn-burweed[/link]

In summary, three step process:
A) keep your turf grass healthy ie. water, cut at correct height, fungicide, and fertilize. (If you have St. Aug. you are probably cutting it too short)

B) apply pre-emergent in fall and early spring. Prevents the weed seeds from germinating. Once you see the weeds, it’s too late for that year to fully control. Linked article has chemical options

C) post emergent. Kills existing weeds. Only killing “this years weeds”, still need a plan in place to prevent. A good chemical I’ve found is 2-4D, can be found at a local hardware store marketed as “fertilome weed free zone”. See linked article for other options

I believe the lack of grass is more of a water level control situation than a herbicide issue.
A lot of camp owners complain about the grass affecting the ability to drive their $90K tritoons to their boat docks. Like everything else in life, it’s a trade off. The grass is good for the fish but chokes up launches and makes accessing shallow water areas difficult.

any variety recommendations for a good popper jalapeños? Looking to add two plants.

Highly suggest adding a rhizome barrier. It was a game changer for me, eliminated them spreading into my yard from the neighbors.

I just went through a similar song and dance. Ill try to list what I would check in chronological order based on the way you are describing the issue if it were my machine.

A) Sounds like solenoid issue if it cranks when you bypassed with the screwdriver. You may have installed the new solenoid incorrectly or the new part is bad. Double check a schematic for your machine to ensure you installed it correctly. To test the solenoid, you can youtube it but you will need a power supply (jumper cables, jumper pack, or positive/negative wires hooked to a battery and a multimeter)

B) The ground: should be bolted to the frame. Follow the negative (black) cable from the battery. I’ve seen them under the seat bolted to a frame rail or bolted to the engine mounting plate close to the battery
a. A way to test grounding issues: get a set of jumper cables, clamp one side to the negative terminal of the battery and the other side to a bare metal engine bolt, try starting.

C) Check the fuse in the encloser on the smaller red wire in image no. 1, may be blown

D) Could be the ignition switch, PTO safety switch, control lever switches(s) or seat safety switch.
a. Some zero turns are funny with the control lever switches. Make sure the levers are all the way out. Try ramming them outward.
b. Wiggle the cr__ out of the PTO engage button and key; bounce up and down on the seat while turning the key.
c. You can isolate each of these (which is what I ended up having to do last week). This would be a last resort once ground and solenoid is ruled out.

E) New battery may be bad. Even if it’s showing 12v it may not be putting out the cranking amps needed. I usually have to bring it in to a auto parts store (where I purchased it) to test for this.

Problem is in South Louisiana, we need these clothes for one hunt a year. Hard to justify spending good money of clothes that collect dust.

With that said, after this weekend of freezing my ______ off, I need to come up with a plan for warmth before next season.

Does WiseEyes have a good color option?

Awesome deer!

Looks like a shot is in as_? Maybe a follow up.
