But hey as long those of you using rotary mowers around roads and people are making lots of money what the :thumbsup:.
I do hate to hear about your sister. It is a shame.
But, that is a d@mned unfair and unreasonable insinuation against anyone and everyone who's ever owned, built, used, or, sold a rotary cutter. And I will not let it go unchallenged on purely emotional reasons.
I do not use a shredder for the purpose of making "lots of money." As juvenile and simplistic as that written statement may be, it is your baseline. No. I use mine (multiple) for purely personal land management reasons on my own property. They are the single best tool I can buy for the money to control pasture growth and do it reasonably so. Bar.....NONE. And, funnily enough, in 20 odd years and several thousand acres worth of mowing with them I've never killed or maimed anyone, destroyed public property, or caused a man-made disaster. This includes many.....many.....situations involving operations within 500 yards of people, roads, buildings, and wildlife. No deaths, injuries, property damage, lawsuits, fires, or Congressional inquiries to date as a result. Huh.
Now you, boat, please gather up your gaggle of trip-and-fall ambulance chasers and fully press your legal actions against any and all makers of anything and everything that resembles a "rotary cutter" in operation and usage. Bush Hog, Rhino, Alamo, Land Pride, Dale Phillips, Dave Brown, Howse, King Kutter, Kodiak, J.D., M.F., N.H., AGCO, M&W.............all shut down if you have your way. Oh, but it doesn't stop there. Murray, MTD, Sears, Cub Cadet, Poulan, Husqvarna, Electrolux, Kubota.....all produce rotary type lawn care equipment and thus produce "harmful" rotary-type machines who must be stopped.
Now that you and the John Edwards Dancers have prevailed in your legal action against every and all maker of any tool with a swinging "blade-type" instrument you must then begin to understand the results. No lawn mowers or weed-eaters are then legally for sale. They might toss something within 25 yards which "could" potentially produce harm to property or limb. The result?
-No one may buy any tool with a protruding, swinging, hard blunt instrument for purposes of lawn or land maintenance.
-The classic "lawn mower" can no longer be legally offered for sale or supported.
-All land maintenance tools must be of the non-rotary type. All push-mowers, riders, or hand-held trimmers must be of a "non-rotary" nature. I.E., a flail design in nature regardless of the cost, complexity, and inanity of the governmental fiat.
Boat, again, I hate to hear about your sister. But, your logic is twisted and non-sensical and I presume as a result. There is a risk in every act taken in life and no amount of technology or governmental intrusion prevents this.
