    Ride-on Mower Mileage

    Just stopped mowing to have some tucker & was thinking how long it takes me to mow the paddock in front of the house. With the help of some electronic devices I calculated that the paddock, averaged out, measured 250m x 50m. Now the cutting width is close to 1m so I'll have covered 12.5ks when done. (This is not counting the far ridge which will be mown tomorrow but it's only a few hours work). Time wise average speed calcs 6kph (pretty steep country) so with the hour meter on 370 hrs I done 2220ks all up. That's a good trip hey? Plenty of quality time to contemplate my navel!
    And NO, I don't slash it anymore as the mower has improved the grass quality & quantity unbelievably.

    Geez if I was on my mower & our local Sarg. chased me I'd head bush. He's only got a Prado & I reckon my mower would get places he couldn't. Kick in the rear diff lock & go!

    Time to trade it in on one like Bobby Cleveland's. His does 154 km/h.

    The world's fastest lawnmower - YouTube

    Or maybe one of these. 0 to 100km/h in 4 seconds.
