Troy-Bilt Bronco Lawn Tractor Reviews

TROY-BILT BRONCO should probably be considered a decent middle of the line basic rising mower. We purchased this mower Several years ago when our old used mower finally but the dust. We only have about an acre of land and it is pretty flat with only one hill in the front that we use a push mower on. This mower worked well for what we needed it for. We also wanted to be able to teach our son how to use a riding mower and this was a good one to start with.

Performance
Because our lawn is easy to mow, this mower gets the job done right. If you have a large yard or lots of hills or tricky spots to turn, I would suggest spending a little more and getting a higher end mower.

Handling
It is nothing compared to a zero turn and I would suggest axle grease, but it gets the job done. Once you get used to how it rides and turns, it isn't that bad. But it isn't a top of the line mower.

Durability
We had a couple of battery and spark plug issues. Nothing major and was easily fixed. It did hold up for several years.

Great mower for the money. Have had no problems so far. Cuts great every time. This mower was a good buy at 1100 bucks.

Performance
Cuts ditches and tall grass.

Handling
Good on hills and cutting around obstacles. Ride well for the terrain I'm on.

Durability
Starts every time and cuts grass even during turning.




just bought a new troy built riding mower from lowes.i usually hate red buy decided i could live with it and call scarlet for the buckeyes.the OHIO STATE BUCKEYES . also i liked that the mower was built in cleveland ohio.that is my home state, so i was hoping to give some ohions some business. it is also called BRONCO, which i have driven a ford bronco for years, like the name.It also came with a free trailor, so i was sold. the first time i was mowing, and tried to back up the mower died.i went in and read the book and sure enough, you can not back up with the blades running. I WAS PISSED AND TOLD MY NEIGHBOR I HAVE THIS MOWER. but so be it, i learned to use it by going foward all the time and having to weed eat alot more, i guess its safety first. then my other neighbor asked if i would mow her yard, WOW, IT WAS 2 FEET HIGH. The mower went right over it and did a good job. I knew i had a good machine and am now proud of my mower. i hope it lasts 15 years like my crafsmen mower did. both mowers have the kohler engine, thats a good engine!!! thanks to all the men in cleveland that made my mower.

CITIZEN ECO-DRIVE BN0151-09L PROMASTER DIVE WATCH REVIEW

A brand with a worldwide recognition, CITIZEN ECO DRIVE PROMASTER is one of the most beloved companies that bring high-quality watches to the world. Infused with the latest technology, Citizen is now seeking to establish a position as a leader of the Eco-Drive market of watches. One model that stands out is the BN0151-09L Promaster Diver Watch that comes equipped with a solar battery and is adapted to wet environments, perfect for diving.

The design barely needs any words to describe it. It is an absolutely gorgeous watch with an imposing stainless steel case and the striking matching dark blue navy colors for the dial and the polyurethane strap. There are some evenly spaced indentations around the uni-directional rotating bezel and the crown is placed at 4 o’clock easy to access and it’s also beautifully engraved. Citizen clearly paid a lot of attention to details for this model. The hands are thick and have a distinctive look and the markings are very clear scoring great points for readability.

The strap is not exactly my cup of tea, it feels a bit stiff and not as comfortable as expected for polyurethane. But this is pretty much my only complaint with this watch. The luminosity is on par with some of the more expensive dive watches. It has a softer nuance of blue on the markers and hands and green for the 12 o’clock marker. Another important aspect for divers and professionals alike is the durability. The BN0151-09L Promaster feels very robust and with the mineral crystal display is sure to stand some serious beatings. Also worth mentioning is the water resistance, its limit being at 200 meters. The fact that this watch is solar powered is very convenient as you don’t need to replace the battery any time soon. Regarding the accuracy, this model seems to be very reliable featuring a Japanese quartz movement.

Citizen BN0151-09L Promaster Diver is a great watch for divers and well suited for everyday use too. It’s a versatile and practical watch that will definitely attract attention with the navy blue design. For a diver this watch is excellent and being fueled by solar power along with the bright luminescence makes for an outstanding experience.

Trail Game Camera Recovery Time

The time it takes a MOULTRIE M 1100I GAME CAMERA to "start up" or "recycle" after it has taken a photo is called camera recovery time. While slow trigger times can cost missed opportunities, slow camera recovery times can do the same.

Camera show this can range between just under a second to over 1 minute! While a low-cost trail camera might be tempting we recommend making sure the trigger speed and recovery time is adequate, especially if placing the camera on a path or trail.

Detection Zone

The “Detection Zone” of a MOULTRIE M 1100I GAME CAMERA is an invisible area that starts at the camera face and spreads outwardly in a V shape; growing larger with relation to distance. This “zone” is where the camera detects movement. Once movement has been noticed, the camera will activate and capture an image or start recording video. 

When it comes to detection zones be aware of how wide and how long your particular models is because depending on where you plan to use it you might not need a very large zone. Obviously, high numbers in both areas will allow the camera to find more movement and snap more photos and vice versa. While we might sound redundant, Trailcampro has a very useful trail camera detection zone "shootout" that shows what cameras stand out in this hard-to-obtain stat many camera manufacturers don't make public. 

PIR Angle

"PIR" stands for passive infrared and PIR Angle refers to the degree that the camera can sense movement. Cameras that have a large PIR Angle can detect movement faster and have a better chance of capturing the subject in the center of the frame as opposed to the edges like some lower quality cameras do. If you’ve ever seen half of a deer in one of your trail cam pics then you understand the effects of a PIR Angle that is low; say 10 degrees.   

High quality cameras usually carry a PIR Angle of 48 degrees. As a result, theses cameras can capture images of almost everything that passes within their field of view, not to mention animals that are moving quickly through the frame.

Sensitivity Adjustment

This refers to how sensitive the MOULTRIE M 1100I GAME CAMERA is  to objects that pass in front of it. To put it simply, a camera with a HIGH sensitivity rating will capture everything from whitetails to chipmunks. Cameras with a LOW sensitivity rating will forget about the small stuff and focus on larger animals. Some cameras will allow users to change this setting; some will not.

The advantage to having the ability to change the sensitivity of the camera is that occasionally the sensitivity rating will reach farther than the flash range. As a result, users can alter the two in order to better match one to the other’s ability.

Laser Aiming

This feature allows users to hang the camera and then visually see where the lens is aiming via the “laser” pointer. In certain terrain this feature can add value but in flat, open land it might not prove to be as necessary.

Burst Mode

Instead of one image being taken when the camera triggers, “Burst Mode” will allow the camera to capture a predetermined amount of images before stopping. For example, a deer walks by and the camera takes, let’s say, 3 images (one after another) before stopping to reset. This is great for cameras set up along a hot doe trail where you want to get as many images as possible of that passing buck. However, you will fill up an SD card pretty quickly if burst-mode is on while the camera is watching over a food plot or bait pile.

GPS Geotag

Some of the higher quality trail cameras now offer the option to automatically embed GPS coordinates of your camera location onto maps in order to make tracking game movement and camera placement easier. On a side note, if using DeerLab to manage and analyze your photos, you won't need this feature as we will automatically calculate the coordinates for you when you place the camera on a provided satellite map.

What’s the Best Leadership Style for Your Business?

Effective leadership is at the core of any successful business. A good leader knows how to motivate his employees and listen to their needs. He also has the skills required for managerial activities. The best leaders will approach each new project thoughtfully, see the lighter side of things when times are tough, and help others reach their career goals.

From situational leadership to transactional leadership, there are various ways to run a business. An experienced manager or CEO should be able to choose the right approach for the situation. Studies indicate that successful business owners combine two or more leadership styles. The goals and culture of an organization determine which one works best.

Here are the most popular leadership styles and their unique characteristics:

Autocratic Leadership

Managers who adopt this leadership style make decisions on their own. They rarely consult their team members, which can be useful in emergency situations that require immediate action. However, autocratic leadership rarely works in a democratic organization.

Small Businesses Owners: Outsource These Tasks to Grow Your Business

Small business owners have hundreds of tasks on their to-do list at any given time. It’s impossible for anyone to tackle them all by themselves. Even if you are a super human and can take care of these tasks yourself the question still remains – should you? Are you better off spending time on tasks that are directly tied to your core business instead of the ones that can be taken care of by others? Based on interviews with number of small business owners and opinion of experts the answer is unequivocal YES. By focusing on core competency and letting others take care of non-essential ones you will be able to focus on and grow the business. So what tasks are better suited to delegate to others? Here are few that easily come to mind.

• IT support – Technology has become an essential part of every business. You simply cannot operate business without computers, network routers, storage, etc. Maintaining these IT systems is not something that anyone can do. You are better off finding a company that can provide support for IT systems rather than doing it yourself.
• Real Estate Maintenance – Maintaining a building is another job that not everyone is suited to do. There are any number of things that can go wrong with the building. Finding a company that can send the right handyman to take care of them is a better approach than having someone on your payroll all the time.

Starting a Business? Don’t Forget About Your Employees!

Your new business venture can feel awfully lonely and empty if you don’t staff it with the right team members. Unless you have a business idea that can be solely run by yourself and the help of freelancers, you are going to need some employees. In fact, if you haven’t already gathered some interest from internet and local job listings, then you’re going a bit too fast with your new startup and you need to slow down before you crash and burn.

How to advertise positions

Make sure that you make a list of the available positions in your workplace. Do you need a receptionist? Perhaps you are looking for office works and administrators? Do you need a tech expert? What about a social media promotions expert?

As a startup that (probably) doesn’t have a lot of money, you need to make good use of flexible employees. Someone that does regular office work can also manage your social media accounts if they are internet-savvy, and many young workers are also great with tech and computers now and they can usually fix most common issues and even recommend new computer parts and equipment for your business. It’s these types of employees that are the most valuable for a business because not only are they hard working, motivated and flexible, they also have great capacity to grow into senior members of staff over the course of a few years that will become the founding pillars of your business when you grow from being a startup to a full-sized business.
