Ride on mowers - advice please

[Vista]

Will post pics when I get it home. I looked at a few second hand ones with over a thousand hours and 10 years hard labour on them. They were still fetching £600+!! And then I came across an 18 month old one with only 92 hours on it. It was a bit more money but still a 60% reduction over the new price for one.

Be like a pig in shit soon then, don't worry the novelty soon wears off. Cut mine twice a week, what a chore!

One hire van and a 520 mile road trip later, I have a new toy in the garage! With just 92 hours on the clock it's almost as good as new and much cheaper than the £3000 it cost its last Owner.

Hmm, hard shoulder. Drove past a nasty looking accident on the M25 in Surrey today. Very badly smashed up silver car (Astra I think) with a child car seat sitting out on the road beside it and an ambulance with closed doors and blue lights beside them both. Said a silent prayer for that child and hope whoever he or she is is doing ok.

Can it do wheelies, and have you tried..

Guess turbocharging would be ridiculous would you think ???..

My old one could. I ignored the kindly-meant advice of the lawn mower shop and bought a 15 bhp engine to replace the 8bhp one. It could lift the front end if you weren't careful.
