VERY nearly got thrown off today....

...off my tractor mower

Very silly, I have a long drive (well farm track really), about 1/3 mile long. Its got grass growing down the middle and I mow it. Then my 'treat' is to turn around, put the mower in 6th gear, crank up the revs to the max and hurtle back up the drive flat out (note to self, I really MUST grow up). Today, it hit something and went orbital! Was half on half off clinging onto the steering wheel.

Since I've disabled that stupid sensor that turns the mower off if you get off the seat it would have bolted for home without me if I'd fallen off

(Sorry, very pointless and not even horsey post. Gawd I must get a rideable horse soon, before I go completely bonkers)

Stick to the lawnmower hun, it sounds like it will be fun, once you have got over its urge to ditch you and run off

Good one! Next time wear your hat, body protector, hi-vis, steel toe-capped boots and have a flare handy. I bet you had a sly look around to see if anyone else was about who may have witnessed the specatacle

 

[MrsMozart]

Question: have you had the seat checked? If it's not fitting, it could account for the unusual behaviour

Made me LOL

 

[kiritiger]

LOL! I would have paid money to see that!

 

[0ldmare]

Um yes, I did have a furtive look round to make sure nobody had seen me (mind you the neighbours would probably just have sighed and shaken their heads sadly )

He he blazingsaddles, good idea, going to carry my schooling whip too I think

Oh Mrs M good thought! I hadn't considered the seat might need adjusting! He IS in more work now than he was in the winter you could be right It was out of character, he's usually what I'd call a confidence giving ride
