No worries. Halgar mentioned that I would need to install a safety shut-off. A shotgun should do the trick. I can see it now. Me running through the yard, lawnmower in chase and me yelling to my wife "SHOOT IT! SHOOT IT!". I can see the headlines now. "Wife accidentally :wink: shoots husband in freak radio controlled lawnmower accident." All the cops asking "Why was she smiling?" :lol:

Gotta go. Colts play today!! Beer on ice brats on the grill. :mrgreen:

I usually chain 'em to a tree or let them play in the street when they're bothering me. :mrgreen: Of course, it helps to have thumbs to do these things. :lol:

set up a clodbuster to pull your lawnmower....if you have a mower with ''swivel'' wheels in front like the mower in your pic,you can pull it with something(i pull a mower with my 3wheeler).. on flat land a stock clodbuster with glued on tires can just about pull one of these mowers..i know ,i tryed it... your best bet is to use a mulch, non bagging set up.. the bag can get heavy.. the clod can pull a mower that bags too, you just need to mod it more.. id start out with looking at how they set up clods for pulling..55 turn(or more) lathe motor and gearing change maybe??? i always wanted to do this, and then put a plow on the front for winter... :mrgreen:
