Now that spring has sprung the need to cut grass is evident, as a matter of fact I had to look twice to find my dog in the back yard, because the grass is so high. When I was younger I really liked mowing, it was like a ‘right of passage’ you know, a guy thing, the lawn is my turf thing. Today, the wife can have it, as I was mowing I realized, I don’t like mowing anymore and it’s because I’ve got an older lawnmower, It’s slow and has virtually a 10 mile turning radius. The more I mowed yesterday, the more I loathed mowing, I discovered I want a new mower, I need a new mower, I deserve a new mower after all she just got a new ‘Dyson’ vacuum cleaner, that’s almost the same thing. So my search began.

 

I should mention here, I’ve always been a ‘John Deere’ riding mower kind of guy, but lately here I’ve been checking out some of the newer brands that have that Z.T.R thing, you know, ‘Zero-Turning Radius’. I really want a new diesel or propane powered ‘Bad Boy’ or a gas powered Gravely, Toro, Ariens, Honda, Snapper or even a commercial brand like ‘Simplicity Cobalt’. First I have to find out on if I can even operate a ZTR-mower with one arm, since it appears by the video that it takes two hands to do it. Check it out.

 



 

And finally there’s the Willie Nelson Bay Boy mower races.
