This is one of those "I heard it from a guy who knows somebody who..." stories...
.
I was talking to a neighbor about his LS. He mentioned that his son, who works as a mechanic for a heavy equipment dealer downstate, told him to buy a 4 foot mower so that it won't stick out past the rear wheels. Supposedly they get a lot of tractors in which have been "Broken in two" when the edge of the mower hits a tree.
My first thought was that he's full of organic fertilizer.
My second thought is that if somebody hits a tree that hard they're going to have more than a broken tractor to worry about, and I hope they have their seat belt on.
Third thought, there's no way that I'm going to reduce my mowing path by 20% just because I can't pay attention when I get near a tree.
I know to be careful when using my 3 pth backhoe, but has anybody ever heard of a tractor getting the rear broken off from mowing?
