At least I learned something today. With the zero-turn mowers, there are 3 blades.
I was afraid to watch that, and glad no one’s leg was removed.
That guy is not a smart man.
There’s a beautiful John Fullbright song about this.
It would help if he put his weight on the other side of the mower
Did something similar in a golf cart in the 90’s.
A buddy outweighed me by over 50 lbs and he was on the bottom of the hill side of the cart.
That’s how I always did it. But its not as easy to do on a 0 turn than on a tractor. Plus with modern seat switches, the mower will shutoff if you move your weight to the fender. I’m glad i no longer have a steep slope to mow. I now let my 9 year old mow on my 50" cub cadet. Having kids use my equipment has changed how I use the safety on my equipment. On all my other mowers before kids, I would remove the seat switch and other safety devices.
