Coyote never has good results using ACMA products. ;)

I'm quite happy with my steering wheel spinner where the gal inside drops her top when you turn the wheel...
I saw a story about a fellow in Michigan who mows his fields in circles… is that you?

My wife isn't all that impressed however.

I've never seen such a thing. 🤣

So I purchased it a while back, and given the experience I had I assumed I was scammed and no product was to ever arrive. Hey, I made a gamble and lost, I was out a little over $20.

Well, guess what showed up today! It's definitely not what the pictures portrayed, perhaps more an inbred cousin. Less Wile E. Coyote, more Wiley Kioti I suppose. Anyhow, not going to lie, I kind of love the little guy. Now I have two questions I need to answer, do I want to put a hole in my hood, and do I trust that this guy won't get ruined by the weather.

Attach to a magnet with gorilla tape on the magnet to protect the hood.
old pic, since then it got cleaned & repainted with clear lacquer to protect the paint.

NO. None of my hayfields are circular. All odd sided rectangles and that all is dependent on what is in the adjacent field. Row crops always take precedent.

I had the best hood ornament I could imagine, and I lost it! It was a solid cast iron turtle head, weighing probably 3 lbs, complete with a couple inches of neck. The end of the neck was flat with a big blind tapped hole. It came off a Snapper mower that looked pretty old in the '60s when I first came into it, a massive thing with steel skis in front and a rotating steel drum with cleats in back.

Found a photo!

What the heck, yours actually looks as advertised, where mine looks like his mother had relations with her brother.

Mine pretty much looked like yours initially…

When I bought my tractor I went on a hunt for matching paint… found some Krylon ( I think) at ACE that matches the loader bucket “good enough“… I put three or four coats of “gun metal” on Wylie before getting him in place…

It’s amazing what happens when you put lipstick on a pig…:LOL:
