You could always use a sythe or have they banned them as well?

The longer the grass the better....

Hello All,

Nanny switch located for the reverse gear. Right down at the swivel point of the mower gear stick that is mounted on the chassis rail was also a cunningly hidden position switch. Only one red wire going to the switch which only engages when reverse has been selected. The plug with the red wire accidentally fell off. Good bye Nanny reverse cutting switch.

It is so great to be able to drive nose into something - select reverse and know the motor is not going to cut out. Happy days! Oddly safer ones too - sans nanny switch.

Kind regards
Lionel
