Bet it's a mule to get going. With only 1hp on tap mowing the grass must be a night"Mare". I think you'll need a horse shoe and plenty of luck with that one

that mule is wild Brad, i've never been able to get a collar on her, i thought i would strongarm her to the floor and show her who's boss, she took off down the field with me hanging on for dear life, won't do that again and the bugger know's it

You don't need to look for a Kubota down the local Marina when your lawnmower goes AWOL

wilk, you've got too much time on your hand, can you buy them over there, they wouldn't churn the grass up so much, how do they get up when they've been laying down
