Ride on Lawnmowers

[spenze]

Anyone have one?

Down where I live, you basically need one, even the small blocks are an acre. One of my mates races them in a club which is insane, it has prizemoney as well. He won last year and walked away with near 5k

I'll get a picture up of my Lawnmower up sometime but if I get on it drunk and fire it up to take a photo at midnight, I can see the missus having a go at me for something or other

I had one back when I lived near gawler. It was a cheaper model. The thing kept on having issues. It was so annoying. Fun to use when it worked though.

No but I’ve always wanted one, can you ride it to the shops?

You can always say it's a mobility scooter, Will be great on a golf course.

Lots here in The Mount. Not for us though, we have a small block. One thing that I find different about Mt Gambier is the number of chicks that get out and mow the lawns. Never saw it in Alice, but it's rife in the mount. As is turning left from the middle of the effing road.

Yes you can.

People get the **** out of the way too, you can hear the lawnmower coming from a mile away. You also get the chance to destroy peoples garden beds next to their front fences too.

Keep in mind though, the second you're gunning it down to the shops for a loaf of bread and a carton of milk, it will be expected that you will be under .05% BAC because god forbid a man could have a skinful and then a ton of fun on a 22 horsepower death machine with super sharp rotating blades.

Small block, small ride on. You could have one of the dogs riding proudly on your lap or have him doing the steering whilst you chill with a freshly poured pint doing the pedals.

Don't even get me started on driving habits of people down here, my kids learnt that mum does indeed swear, you jjust need to put her into traffic and watch her turn into a person with Tourettes

Old Ralphy loved getting up on the forklift back in Alice.

John Deere 110 for relatively smallish acreage has been exceptional for me after over a decade with zero problems

Honestly, they are a simple set up the old ride on and only needs some basic maintenance to keep it tip top for keeping the lawn in check.

The old lawnmower isn't just for lawns either. Had a rabbit problem in the property a while back so I positioned the ride on above one exit hole on full throttle and then lit a smokey fire at the other end.

Needless to say we had rabbit for dinner that night, nicely filleted by the old Husqvarna and smoked to perfection

You can now name your mower “ferret “

So not for 1970crow then

I did buy a Toro driven walk behind for Penola. And if I found rabbits in my yard, I'd leave a bowl of water and veggies out for them each night.

Good idea, fatten them up first, then "vrooom, vrooom"

Feed them chocolate for the marbling.

The butcher at marketplace gets 4-5 scotch fillet in. It can be a bit too much sometimes. Last time I went there they had grade 5 porterhouse. Now, I'm not a porterhouse fan, I eat the eye off the t-bone and feed the porterhouse to the kids. But marbled porterhouse is the bomb.

When we were kids and up on our grandparents' farm near Kadina, our grandpa would set us up on his ride on mower (turn blades off) and hitch a trailer to the back of it - he then gave us a giant magnet and one of us would be in the trailer with said magnet dragging behind the while the other drives around - magnet would pick up all the bits of metal around the farm property and he gets us to clean it all up while we are having the best time "driving"

Could've done with a ride on at my last place but where we are now we've gone the other way - battery mover.

Works a charm for our small front and back yards.

Are they good for manicuring patches to achieve something like a landing strip?
