If there is one thing that I’m actually looking forward to with the metric tons of rain that is falling at BangShift Mid-West right now, it’s lawn care season. There is little more I love than hopping onto the lawn mower and chopping down the acre-plus plot of onion grass that does a fantastic job of masquerading as a lawn. I’ve always enjoyed lawn care, ever since childhood. It’s peaceful. I don’t care if I’m riding a lawn tractor or if I’m using one of those old push mowers…as soon as I start mowing the grass, it’s everything I’ve got going until I’m done. Nice, relatively peaceful, and it checks off some housework that I usually need to be dealing with anyways.
There isn’t a damn thing peaceful about the lawn tractors you will see here. Nothing. There is no one-note drone of the mower making pass after pass…instead it’s a scream that sounds oddly V8-like for many of these machines and it’s a V8-like effort from each one too! Don’t worry if that isn’t enough power for you, there are some V8 powered machines in the video as well! There are a couple that act more like lawn tractors but some of these little beasts are more violent than we’d ever give them credit for on sight alone!
I’m pretty sure I promised someone that I wouldn’t start messing with the tractor that we bought at the tail end of last year. I just don’t remember who…
I haven’t been to a “garden tractor pull” in years They are unbelievable machines.In the 90’s A friend of mine had one .He was making 90 HP out of a single cyl. 16 HP Koler engine.
