what is it?

the place I get wood pellets rents space to a guy who does lawn/garden tractor repair and sales. I know he used to be on here (tractorkid, I think). I've bought a couple machines and attachments from him. Got a nice 42" rear discharge deck from him recently ;)

 

anyway when I was picking up pellets I saw a trailer full of mostly Simplicity, one Cub, and this... odd looking steering to say the least. Brandon wasn't around or I'd have asked him

That's pretty interesting so I'm going to follow along and see how it turns out

 

Looks like maybe an adaptation of tiller steering.

As a young child I had an old Ariens 8 horse we used to mow the fields with but I'm wondering if that frame looks more like an old Snapper.

Not sure but I'll bet you can pop wheelies with it!

@ebinmaine I was thinking the same thing at first. Bet it wouldn’t be had to make something similar from an old Snapper frame if one felt so inclined haha 

 

I of course had to google it, came across these.

I've been to a lot of shows, and I have never seen anything like this.  very cool.  I am always in awe that we always seem to have some body that knows what things are on this site.  Well done Red Square.  :occasion-xmas:

They really took their brand name to heart.... nothing you don’t need.

I actually used one of those to mow lawn as a youngin'. My dad did not have it for long but it was kinda fun to use. I always thought that the steering arm / clutch was a cool feature.
