It was parked at the end of the row, and the young son of the owners tooled out in a mower like this one. He tried to drive it under the front of the 5th wheel, also forgetting about the roll bar. He got it stuck. Then he tried to power on through. Then he tried to back out. He actually pulled the front off its blocks and not only damaged underneath the bedroom but also ran the unit into the roof supports of the storage area. Fortunately, his parents took care of it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-24535493100107324272014-03-18T05:47:57.097-05:002014-03-18T05:47:57.097-05:00R U OK?

I kinda got stuck briefly in a muddy spot going uphill . . . for an instant I saw myself and mower sliding into the Musconetcong River . . . fortunately, that didn't happen and I got unstuck. Have to watch for openings to groundhog dens here, but at least I know where they are. Ours doesn't have a roll bar, which kinda makes me feel better . . . like maybe it doesn't need one as much as yours does!Texas Yellow Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18416672836387064595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-62398830665451890702014-03-15T14:54:37.108-05:002014-03-15T14:54:37.108-05:00Dennis uses epoxy for everything...I don't att...Dennis uses epoxy for everything...I don't attempt to drive anything that has a roll bar...If it wasn't for bad luck, Judy, you'd have no luck at all!

Bill used some Bondo, some sanding and a little new paint... looks okay. I had had many, many hours using a zero-turn mower... my only excuse was that this one was a different brand than I was used to and the deck was different.
