CCW 1,292 #2 Posted January 15, 2020 This is pretty funny. I could never turn around in time on my 1/4 acre lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,277 #3 Posted January 15, 2020 Super cool machine for what it is. I don't generally have the sense of adventure to put something like that through its paces but I can absolutely see my nutcase girlfriend Trina of bolting up to a hundred plus on that thing in short order. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,795 #4 Posted January 15, 2020 Complete with a cup holder! It’s angled for maximum downforce when loaded of course... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,064 #9 Posted January 15, 2020 For a funny ride, the mean mower out of 2014 seems enough. sorry, had just a link i German. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 25,492 #10 Posted January 15, 2020 So, how does it mow? What size plow can I get? Will the tiller effect top speed when engaged? Would chains impact performance in snow? Will it have enough power to run a 2 stage blower? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also Definitely 5. And then some... 1. Specialized “turf” tires chop the grass while you perform the most beautiful elegant donuts ever. 2. Whatcha got? It’s not about the power, it’s about the weight remember? Pop a small block Ford on it (not for the power, for the dead weight) and you’ve got yourself a plow pushin’ machine! 3. Top speed of the tiller or the mower? Remember this is a mower, not a tractor. They aren’t built with the same principles in mind. 4. I’d recommend studs, but chains aughtta work in first and reverse just fine. 5. There’s enough power on tap for all the stages of the blowers. I’d stick with the Weiand Roots type, they’re pretty proven in the industry. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
