Yeah, that totally clears up the OP. Not.

“Damn if she isn’t.” Damn if she isn’t _what_? And who is she?

Did you know that you don’t have to pay by the letter to post here? It’s entirely possible to be coherent.

This. Precisely this. I’m amazed. Next thing you know they’ll be using that fancy vacuum they bought.

That’s very clever! 🙂 So, his kids haven’t bought a cute husky dog, then?

Further attempts at clarifying the OP.

Title:

> [@dropzone](#):
>
> You kids bought that AWD Huskie. Now the back yard.

I believe “Now” should be “Mow”. Which immediately makes this next part much clearer.

> [@](#):
>
> Damn if she isn’t. Four horse B&S. Not a pause.

Now we get to this.

> [@dropzone](#):
>
> A mower with such.

Perhaps “such” should be “mulch” or “mulcher” because autocorrect. If we apply this correction, we again have a sentence that makes sense. Just my theory, which I submit now for peer review.

I installed a 2-stroke engine in a Malamute and the damn thing bit me!  
I’m not cleaning up that back yard either…

Alternately:

"You kids bought that huskie, an almost wolflike dog. Now go put her in the back yard.

Damned if that dog didn’t eat two of my horses for breakfast and two more for supper. Without even pausing between them."
