Supposedly, yes, according to SE Asian reports, but they (the reports) are very rare and most in vitro pairings fail

A VERY mixed flock, not just breeds but 3 species!
Do these people have a big pond? I would ASSUME that water buffalo would be happier when they have water to wallow in.

Nothing like a taste of "back home". I like oddball things and having water buffalo for neighbors looks pretty cool to me. I like mixed flocks too. Do you have problems getting your guineas to come back to the coop? Or do they roost in trees? We just got 6 about 3-4 weeks old.

@Baymule my guineas are just a few months old and right now they are sleeping in the trees above my chicken house with some of my maverick pullets. because I have no close neighbors and my poultry all free range I really don't expect them to ever sleep in the coop. as long as they roost where they are i'll be a happy camper. I think you're right, having water buffalo for neighbors is pretty neat in my opinion. and @Bruce they do have a pond in their pasture, who knows if that's where these guys will hang out. if you enlarge the pictures from the previous post you can see that they both gave the rope head gear the cows is threaded thru her nostril , ouch. I look forward to watching them off and on.
do youall remember when idiot choco got stuck between the barn and the t-post?? well it seems he did something to his back and is walking a little cattywhompas right now. I have a friend who raises meat goats and ever so often she uses an animal chiropractor on one of her goats. i'm calling tomorrow to see if they are willing to work on a buck in full rut. i'm hoping it will help the old man.
why is it always one thing or the other? with all the rain we have had the grass in my yard is high, high, high.. finally got the time to mow while it was dry and the mower started like a champ, engaged the blades, no problem and mowed about 5 feet before it quit all forward motion, engine still running, blades still spinning just no forward or backward motion for that matter. I hate lawn mowers, just sayin'.
alright youall I have a secret, been keeping this to myself because I feel like a bad dog mama. katie is the proud mama of five beautiful new pups. it was not my intention to breed her after her first and suppose to be last litter but she and marco are sneakier than I thought. my timing was a bit off obviously. I knew she was due to come in heat and already had an appointment to have her spayed but it didn't work out that way. the best laid plans of mice and men often go asunder. can you say cute babies. they are indeed
those tiny red things in my hand are a tomato called 'current' and that is as big as they get. I wasted garden space for three of these plants and boy am I disappointed. they are definitely on my do not plant list for next year. and the flower, just because its pretty.

I love the puppies! I love puppy breath. Hard to believe these little furballs grow up to great big dogs. Adorable.
I wish I had the problem of rain and too much grass. Things are kinda dry, shriveled and brownish around here.

Awww!!....they are just as cute as buttons @goatgurl ....
I don't blame ya about those tomatoes....not much there for a nice BLT and it would take all those 3plants could produce to make a jar of sauce. The flower is really pretty....what kind is it?.....there are at least 2 things ya gotta watch for on the guineas.....coons and owls....I know ya have dogs, but coons can climb tree to tree like squirrels....both are plentiful here, so I have hesitated in getting some....the ones Mom and Dad had were gotten that way and even lost a peacock too...all in the same tree. Anything further on your back issue?

The drive belt for the rear wheels is far up inside the frame, coming from an upper pulley on the engine drive shaft (above the deck drive belt) and going all the way back to the rear of the machine. Somewhere along that path, there will be and idler pulley that applies or releases tension of the drive belt when the clutch is depressed or released. This drive belt path is accessible only from underneath the mower and maybe (depending on model and make) after removing the deck.
Possibilities:
1. Spring or belt broken on vari-drive. (there are 2 belts on the vari-drive. One comes From the engine pulley--the other goes From the vari-drive To the big pulley mounted atop the transmission)
2. Linkage fell off the idler that the clutch pedal moves.
3. Transmission has internal problems.
4. One axle is broken or is no longer engaged in wheel splines.
My guess is it will be #1.
Like I said, the offending drive section is way up in there. (view of engine drive shaft from underneath)
A real goofy video, but has some good info on an example of several different kinds of mowers.
