Or ditches get mowers. Either way, the mower got stuck in the ditch. I wasn’t attempting to mow the ditch, we just slid down a 24 degree slope into it.




A few hours later, no rain or sprinklers, just ground seepage

Judy looks good. I am still laughing

Note to self, never live downhill from other property's.

Thank God you had the winch a truck and a chain never would’ve worked

Get mine stuck in sand all the time. Put it in neutral grab the front end and get to pulling.

Zero turn is neat and fast, but I know for a fact a traditional riding mower deals with hills ditches and sand significantly better! I also believe my old rider had a better/cleaner cut than the zero turn.

A lot better than pulling one out of a pond.....

Why'd you do that?

Last time I did that I bent the tow hook on the mower. When my mower is turned off it locks the wheels, I can’t leave it running in without the parking break on and didn’t want to just drag it because it doesn’t drag straight. So with the winch I was able to work the mower controls and winch simultaneously

I don’t know about you, but I can’t lift a 1200 pound mower

need some weed killer too

There's a little plunger thingy in the back that unlocks the wheels. I had to move ours recently because the drive pully idler took a dump while it was being used.

How big ole boy are you

I’ve already told you…..dig a big hole, dump some koi in and be done…..

This didn't turn out how I expected. I thought it was going to be stuck forever waaaay down in that chasm.

I figured all riding mowers did. Today I learned, I guess, that is not the case. Though my low end model John Deere does, so I guess that kind of makes it a little fancy.

Yes there is. I have 1 lever per hydraulic motor, so 2 of them. They require you to get under the mower to release them. Didn’t really see that happening as you have to stick your hand under the mower just behind the rear tires. It’s hard enough when it’s just sitting on the shop floor.

Zero turns are great mowers, but terrible if there’s just a little mud.

need to up grade to mud tires, so you can leave better ditches

Anything with a Hydrostatic trans, should.

These are being shipped

Great idea, tear it to hell and back and hope it still grows lol.

If you know how to properly drive a ZTR you won’t destroy the yard.

If you properly knew how to drive a beached whale it would never get stuck either. How has that worked out?

Yeah. I’d like to see you navigate it around my lease and not get stuck.
