Ride On Mowing Horror ;-)

[stevo68]

Thought some people might get a good snicker out of these pics, this is what happens when ride on mowing goes wrong. With all the rain of late, I have been gradually mowing the place and was doing the front paddock when horror struck. Whilst going back up the hill the wheels started spinning. So I put her in reverse, gave a little "what for" and ended up sliding in reverse, much to my horror. Well you can see how it ended up, cuppla beers later all was good. Now have to get Sharlea to help me get it out this arvo ;-),

Looks nasty Steve, did you use the disco to pull it out? https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Off topic a little but what size jumper did you want again?

You could have been killed.... or worse! 8O

[FenianEel]

You weren't trying to impersonate the guy on the other "big sand dune" thread were you Stevo?

Might have to get difflocks and muddies for the ride on!

[stevo68]

Yes, it could have been worse, someone was looking out for me, mainly the fence :wink: . Can't get the disco in there so little lady will be helping me give it a shove this arvo and have it pointed upwards so I can get it back for repairs 8O . I'd almost seriously consider some muddies and locker equivalent for the ride on as it isnt the first time I have gone into a slide there :?

I take it that the hot tape wasn't, otherwise the whole experience would have simply been shocking https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[stevo68]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>I take it that the hot tape wasn't, otherwise the whole experience would have simply been shocking [/b][/quote] Nope thankfully it wasnt on, otherwise yes it would have been absolutley shocking 8O , and myself not a very happy camper.

Glad you didnt get hurt

[Captain_Rightfoot]

Youch... I bet you were pretty cut up about the whole incident 8O 8O

Sorry couldn't help myself https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Seriously, glad you're ok. Those accidents can be very serious. Our lotus club secretary managed to roll his ride on but got out ok 8O

[stevo68]

Yeah keeping coming with the funnies https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ , it tends to distract from what could have been worse 8O . Will be taking pics of the recovery this arvo and will post tomorrow :wink: . Hoping not to much damage has been done underneath 8O

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>You sure the missues won't mind you taking happy snaps - while she pushes it up the hill?![/b][/quote] Well Im always up for pushing my luck :wink: maybe we can take turns.

Glad you are OK ride-on mowers can be nsaty things if they go wrong.

BTW Did you have the CDL locked or not when this happened https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[stevo68]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>BTW Did you have the CDL locked or not when this happened [/b][/quote] I tell ya what, they;d come in handy round my place :wink: , would have prevented the slide in reverse. That was enough for me to find my faith again 8O ,

Stevo,
I think you should look at getting some custom bar work on that thing (Roll Cage) and start wearing your V8 race helmet when you mow.


Would have been funny if it was an electric fence. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Would have been funny if it was an electric fence[/b][/quote] It is, it just wasnt switched on, thank goodness ( insert more colourful expletive at will), now with it raining wont be venturing out to have another crack just yet :wink: , me thinks it will be going thru camping gear and having a coldy instead,
