BIG mower

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

I want this. The Americans will probably already have one for their "yard".

Where's the cab with air conditioning and Sirius radio?

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

A decent designer would have it inform me to change the oil.

[Brian Gaff]

New handle then? Brian

There are bits of my garden I could use one of those on, since they're too steep for my 48" John Deere ride-on. But not enough to justify the cost.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

I get bored sometimes and change it. Plus it irritates me when people jump up and down and say I've killfiled you ner ner ner ner ner! Just shut up and do it!

Your wish is my command

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

Test failed, you implied you'd done it. You were supposed to do it silently.

Check this one out:

Normally sold to state and local governments for maintaining sloping roadside areas.

I bought one of these for my 200 acre farm so I could mow the areas that the hay crew refused to touch because they were so steep. Advertised as safe to 45 degrees, but I had it to 55 degrees. In fact, I am convinced it is impossible to roll it, unless you drop it off the edge of a cliff. Real fun, too.

Oh that looks fun!

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

More than a small car?!?

[Don Wiss]

Much more practical than the Brielmaier. And for Americans without the hassle of shipping one across the ocean.

I hope you got the rotary beacon option!

You mean handy for lazy folk who want to sit down.

You missed out "big fat".

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?

[Johnny B Good]

It looks like it. I'm holding off killfiling this one for the time being.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

Assuming that I'm somehow a different person?

[Johnny B Good]

No, just making absolutely sure it wasn't someone else taking the piss at your expense. :-)

[Morph]

Cheaper to get a goat or three.

[Huge]

Goats eat everything except the grass.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

I don't have to eat on a timed basis, I eat when my stomach says I'm hungry. I don't have to remember to put petrol in the car, the guage tells me when it needs topping up.

Mine cost $46,000 delivered to my farm in Tennessee and including one day of demo and hands-on instruction. That was in 2006. Sold the farm last year and sold the machine to another farmer in Alabama for $15K. Of course the depreciation tax deductions for the first eight years were very helpful. Most helpful was maintaining the value of cleared land versus the value of overgrown and wooded land. That paid off when I sold the farm.

The new owner of the place declined purchasing the machine. I think he will regret that eventually.
