Mowing Contest! Have The Fastest Mower In The Fleet

[SnowRidge]

Yes folks, it's contest time.

Imagine mowing at fifty plus miles an hour. You can do it with these high speed replacement wheels for your PT mowers. Just bolt them on, drop something with a <font color="red"> lot </font> of horsepower in your PT, and you are off to kill the dreaded multifloras at record speed.

Plus <font color="blue"> B O N U S </font> these wheels have bolt on rims and take tubes . < sound of applause >

No more deflating the tire when you hit that rough spot in your lawn or run over your neighbor's pink flamingo. Nirvana is here.

So what's the contest? All you have to do is name

<font color="purple"> THIS </font>:

That's right, the first person to correctly identify this home brew PT-425 implement wins a PM detailing where to get the wheels (URL provided).

Rules--gotta have rules.

1. You have to provide the correct name, not function. Since I built it, I named it, and you'll have to figure out what I call it. I'll accept either of two terms.

2. You have a relationship with a Power Trac. Any one of the following will count:

a. You own a Power Trac

b. You wish you owned a Power Trac

c. You used to own a Power Trac

d. You envy people who own Power Tracs

e. You know the words to "Deep In The Heart Of Tazewell" by heart

First correct post wins.

So, If we need to guess only the name...

What exactly is the function? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

It looks like you could use it to dig trenches for a sprinkler pipe, or maybe a trench for electric wiring for lights.

Is it called The Hangnail Remover ?

 

[SnowRidge]

A clarification: That dark area down the middle of the grey primer paint is simply bare steel. It sort of looks like it might be a weldment sticking out, but it isn't. Ignore it.

No, but I'll keep that use in mind the next time I get one. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

That would be giving too much away. The name that I gave it is what a manufacturer would likely call it, if they made such an attachment commercially

From what I can see (the picture lacks detail), it has a flat steel spike that goes into the ground. There appears to be little arms or hooks that will 'grapple' with a big weed, and allow the tap root to be leveraged out of the ground using the power of the PT.

None of the above, Rob.

You know, that's not a bad idea, but--alas--there are no hooks or arms. It is just an optical delusion. Also, the spike isn't flat; it is triangular in shape.

Keep trying; there is no "household" limit.

Here is a photo of the high speed wheel--just to wet your appetite.

Hmmm. It is a triangular spike that obviously goes into the ground. If you dragged it along, then it would produce a very small, narrow trench, suitable as:

* a mini-trencher
* an irrigation pipe laying device.
* a seed-row planting device.
* A lawn sign installer
