It had rained this morning so my B2320 did get rained on while Barlows had it out side. Did not observe any melting or paint damage.
I got a valuable lesson today when I hit the edge of a mobile home with my new 2tenths of an hour B2320. A gear drive does not stop when you let off the foot throttle, it keeps going. Gear tractors need to be clutched AND BRAKED to stop them. Even just depressing the clutch will not cause a gear tractor to stop, the brake must be pressed to get it to stop. After 7 years and 12 HST's it's a learning ccurve. I never use the brake on the HST's except on the RTV which is also another new experience. Good thing was one of my young sort of smart mouthed renters had to be there at that exact instant to see me hit it.:laughing: His laugh, not mine.:ashamed: Guess it's good to get it's first bump so I can use it without fear of hurting it.
Took videos but stopping and starting ended up in 6 parts so I'll try and include them here, now.

Now to see if this works.
It works but for some reason one click opens two of the same movie so delete one if you don't want to hear two narratives.
