Zero Turn Mower

Zero-turn lawnmowers aren’t as expensive as they once were but even so, few people would describe them as ‘cheap’.

Although the price differentials have eroded somewhat they’re still likely to be more expensive than a roughly comparable centre-mounted mower and that means you may well have to think carefully about how to pay for one. So, if you’re anything other than rich, read on!

The Basics of Economic Purchasing

Some people think that the cheapest way of buying something, including zero-turn lawnmowers, is to pay by cash if you have it available. It seems to be a no-brainer.

As a point of technicality though, they may wrong.

Let’s say you have your cash currently invested and its earning you (e.g.) 2.5% net interest. If you take that out to pay for a new lawnmower, then it’s no longer earing you that interest so that is a ‘loss’ to you even though you now have a capital asset in the form of a new mower.

The cost to you is, therefore, the purchase price of the mower plus that 2.5%

By contrast, if you were fortunate enough to get a zero-interest purchase deal from the provider or manufacturer, then you’ll be far better off purchasing it on finance rather than using your own capital – assuming everything else is equal.

Livestock Theft – In the News Again

It’s sad to report that, yet again, the news recently has covered large-scale livestock thefts from just about all parts of Australia, including NSW.

True, this isn’t anything new.

Livestock theft has been with us since the beginning of time and isn’t just an Australian problem. It can be found in every country in the world and can range from the theft of an individual animal right up to the disappearance of virtually entire herds or flocks etc.

The police have lots of good advice on what you can do to help prevent the theft in the first place or to aid the recovery of (more correctly, stand a better chance of recovering) the livestock if stolen. It’s worth looking at the web sites of the various official bodies to check the specifics.

Today there’s a lot of emphasis on the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) ear tags and marking etc.  That’s no doubt sensible.

Even so, it’s probably worth keeping in mind some of the old basics. For example, keeping loading ramps well away from perimeters and making sure that your boundaries are relatively secure certainly helps. It’s also a good idea to make sure that you and your friends/neighbours in the area keep an eye out for people and vehicles that seem to be ‘loitering’ or parked-up for no obvious reason.

Thought of The Month – The Ship’s Captain

                            

Many of you would have heard of the following classic anecdote which wonderfully illustrates the perils of stubbornness and the need to change. The original of the story is attributed to Frank Koch, a naval officer.

A battleship had been at sea on its routine maneuvers but for some days it had been under heavy weather conditions. The captain, who was worried about the deteriorating weather situation, stayed on the bridge to keep an eye on all activities.

One night, the lookout on the bridge suddenly shouted, “Captain! A light - bearing on the starboard bow.”

“Is it stationary or moving astern?” the captain asked.

The lookout replied that it was stationary. This meant the battleship was on a dangerous collision course with the other ship. The captain immediately ordered his signalman to signal to the ship: “We are on a collision course. I advise you to change course 20 degrees east.”

Back came a response “You change course 20 degrees west.”
