I love working with locally-owned businesses like Full Armor in Caledonia. I walked in and was met by the owner, Mark, right at the door. I immediately felt welcome.

After chatting with him for awhile, he let me know that he and his wife, who he met here, have owned Full Armor for over 7 years after he got out of corporate sector management to do something he is passionate about.

"I don’t put anything in here, Fish, that I don’t put into my own garage," he told me.

And then he let me test-drive a Gravely zero-turn mower! The look and simplicity of it was awesome. The machine looks so sleek, and honestly, I loved the new design of the seat. Yes, I know I am a nerd, but the seat is one of the things you use the most! Mark explained everything to me perfectly and then I was off and going. From how to adjust the blade height to a simple 360 turn took all of about 10 seconds to learn.

If you're thinking you'd like to upgrade your mower this year, now's the time to buy. Full Armor is hosting a sale on all Gravely zero-turn mowers from March 19-27. Stop in to see how much you can save, and be sure to tell them I sent you.

While you're there, you'll notice that Full Armor does more than mowers (what I was curious about that day). They do all power sports. Not only am I a fan of the customer service, but I could spend hours in there with ATVs, bikes, chainsaws, blowers, generators and, of course, the mowers. Check them out online at fullarmorpower.com.
