[Shop-talk] Stand-on mowers?

[John Niolon]

spent lots of summers letting a DB 2 wheeler drag me thru hi grass... 
changing out sickle bar teeth... running from yellow jackets... and all with 
no helmet or harness... how did we live through it !!!   That would work 
better than a "MOWER"....   it just cut the weeds then lay them 
down...easier to rake or "windrow" to clean up...

good memory, thanks Jeff
