Re: Cutting the Grass

My buddies family operates a landscaping company, you should hear his story about taking a Z turn they had on demo for a couple of days down a dew covered hill. I'd type it all out, but I'm a bit tired today. Needless to say it involved losing traction and a fence and about 15mph of terminal velocity. Come to think of it, it was a Toro too...:fdance: ;)

I get the new one tomorrow. The manager warned me not to go near the water with it until I'm very comfortable with it. :eek:

I've done something like that in a golf cart. Just change "fence" to "pond". :eek:

Re: Cutting the Grass

Reminds me of a funny story. My parents golf cart was running a bit slow some years ago. Being the good son I am I promptly took care of the problem, had her running 27 mph. One day my old man took it down to the lake to throw some brush/six by six pieces of lumber in the bed. Being the impatient SOB that he is, he decided to just heave the stuff in the bed. Now bearing in mind that he doesnt really think about the basics, such as turning the ignition off while he was doing this, he got one hell of a shock when the 6x6 landed square on the acclerator and the golf cart started steaming towards the water.

Luckily the steering wheel jack knived and it hit a tree head on finally ending the chaos. To this day I am sad that I was not there (with a video camera) to witness the event. I promise I would have posted it.

I remember not being able to figure out what he was so pissed about that night. I am still blamed for him not being able not to catch it. Yeah it was all my fault... all because I souped up the golf cart dad. Yes, thats why you could not catch it..... Never mind those two shot knees you have.:twak:

Re: Cutting the Grass

Reminds me of a friend who had a 5 foot rotary chopper hooked up tohis WW2 jeep and without a live pto he took out his pump shack. I'm sure the farmers will understand this:yawn:

Re: Cutting the Grass

Re: Cutting the Grass

Worked like a champ. Without much practice I saved atleast 50% time.
