So if you wanted to you could remove the front wheels. And weld on two more that are inline with the rear wheels. Run a chain from each rear to each from and have it kinda behave like a skid steer
That sounds very cool, will have to think on that for a while. thanks for watching.
You could probably get away with shortening the wheelbase by a foot or more. What a neat idea 💡 would dominate everyone in the mud if you pulled it off
Would be very cool
I got this mower specifically to be able to drive it through a 36 inch door th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend or gate It is a little tight with the grass deflector installed but has more clearance with the deflector replaced by the recycler/mulcher. This model appears to be popular and a little harder to find for that reason. I can't judge the dependability as I have only mowed the yard twice but everything else on the mower is very nice and working fine so far. I added options for the run hour timer, arm backrests, recycler/mulcher, towing bracket, deck lift assist and cover.
I love a zero turn!!! Thanks for watching.
I'll take the regular mower any day over the zero turn, even for mowing my yard.
Not me. My front yard is around 2.5 acres. I've mowed it with both and it takes a lot less time using a zero turn.
@@flash1259 My yard"s only an acre and I have a 50 inch Dixie chopper and a 42 inch Craftsman LT1000. If I had just an open field to mow I would probably take the Dixie chopper, but since I have to go between trees and fences and tow my trailers and other vehicles around the yard. My choice is the LT1000. I can get further into the corners and closer to the trees with the deck although it is a bit slower.
@@descargaelbano My wife started mowing our yard with a 42" Craftsman mower. I beat that thing to death and Sears finally replaced it under the extended warranty I always kept on it. Now the replacement has went bad but, I didn't keep it under warranty. I upgraded to a 50" Troy Bilt zero turn when the first Craftsman went bad. That helped a lot and made mowing faster. Then I bought a 2014 61" Bad Boy Outlaw XP. That helped a whole lot. I started mowing places with it I had only bush hogged before. I was cutting 4' tall grass with it. My son is still using the Troy Bilt on his approx 1 acre yard and I still use the Bad Boy. I also added a Kubota 3901 and a used Rhino TM 84. I probably mow around 12 acres total. This year I used the finish mower to mow the power line right of way the power company hasn't mowed since I've lived here. That's probably 3/8 mile long and how ever wide the right of way's are.
To give you somewhat of an idea of what I mow this is just outside my yard fence. When I bought the land it was so thick with white cedar it was hard to just walk through it. It took a long time of clearing to get it to this point. On the other side of the trees there's a flat spot more than twice the size of what you see. I still mow my old yard across the road. That's only around 1/4 of an acre though. i.imgur.com/hg8tOnI.jpg
Same here, I had a 54 inch craftsman and replaced with a 48 inch zero turn craftsman and it was about twice as fast. Still love tractors, just not so much for mowing. It is now a pain to mow with a tractor when you go to turn around and I am constantly thinking how much faster and easier a zero turn is. However, when it comes to mud, give me the old tractor. thanks for watching.
Personally i think a zero turn would be better fit as a mini dozer/skidsteer without the hydraulics
That would be cool, thanks for watching!!
Lawn mower's are made for grooming your lawn not digging adult man made mud holes in the back yard lol
speak for yourself
@@schwuzi I ride ATV's and a SxS not a lawnmower lol
@@kevinhumphrey932 Just after I bought my Sportsman 850 with tracks I got it stuck in a hole barely bigger than the machine. I didn't realize there was a log in the hole also. After 2 other ATV's pulled me out it cost over $4k to get it back to where it was. After that I was very careful of the holes I pulled into. I didn't have the blade on at the time. i.imgur.com/oh9NJac.jpg
Never thought I would’ve seen mudding on a zero turn.
Thinking outside the rider, this is the second one I have done it with, thanks for watching
Mowing decks should just be optional equipment on newer mowers. Knock $300 off the price without a deck and use that money to put some grips on it.
They would sell some, but knock more than 300 off, have you seen what they charge for bare replacement decks. Should come with more aggressive tires and a locker too. Needs better pulleys and a nice bumper. People would buy that. Still cheaper to build you own, but could be an option for those who do have time. Thanks for watching.
@@chud327 thanks for being dedicated to the craft of building these machines. Great content.
@@southerntrendkiller2632 you are welcome, and several more in line waiting to be built too
And this is exactly why I don't buy used equipment....."well taken care of" 🙄
Yes, you really should be care buying used equipment, thanks for watching.
I want to use a zero turn mower drive train in a tracked personal vehicle.
Me too, I plan to use tractor tire treads as the tracks, thanks for watching!!
It seems the zero turn has better power and better control
Yes and thanks for watching.
The zero turn even with mud tires will get stuck
It is much better, but I you try hard enough, it will get stuck too. Thanks for watching!!
Its a muddy job but someone's got to do it!😄
It sure is, but that is what I am here for. thanks for watching.
Its official zero turns are trash in the mud
My 61" Bad Boy Out law XP is terrible. I usually use my wife's 4010 transmule to pull it out.
I was surprised it did not get stuck after the tire change... turf tires are junk... thanks for watching.
That looks like so much fun that reminds of the good old days
Thanks we have a blast on them. Thanks for watching!!
I live on a river and it can get pretty muddy. The zero turn does a great job of slogging in the mud, but it goes even better with dual tires using tractor tread tires.
It also allows me to move my Wallenstein Timber Talon trailer around which saved me from buying a separate bigger tractor or UTV. Basically I have a zero turn that can mow, dig with a backhoe, grapple logs, run a grader or bore holes with a post hole auger. I can do a lot for very little money with my now dual tired zero turn.
I have tried duals on some other f my machines and loved them. Nice to have a mower that is so versatile!! Thanks for watching!!!
Not a mud mower if no deck
True, but mud former mower is not as fun to say... Thanks for watching
Hi
Hi and thanks for watching.
Imo weight distribution and narrow front wheels are the difference
I think it is the narrow front tires, slow wheel speed, and smaller tires. Thanks for watching
@@chud327 thanks for inspiring me
I can't remember any officers named Johnson that I met in my six years of active duty, let alone lieutenants.
Ever meet a sailor named Taylor? He's always up to no good
@@michaelosmon Did run in to that many sailors.
Weird cause that is a very common last name. Thanks for watching!
Taylor also a very common last name. Thanks for watching!
Makes sense
So every time it rains in my ditch try get zero stuck I get atv pull it out it’s so fun
Sounds like you have the same condition I have, have you upgraded from turfs yet? Thanks for watching!
Crazy they’re made for mowing lawns not made for muddy
So true, who know they could be so fun doing what they were not even designed to do. thanks for watching.
Without the deck, the zero turn in a wheelie machine.
That may be the next video I shoot, thanks for watching
Love the videos man can't wait for more bangers
Thanks so much and working on a few now, hopefully will be bangerish…
If you want to do that get 4 wheel drive 4 wheeler
What would not even be a challenge for an atv... plus they are too expensive for me and would get no views. thanks for watching.
Do you know what your next videos going to be
I have several mowers I need to get running and customized, car show tomorrow night, garden, and zero turn maintenance is what is going own lately and soon... thanks forw watching.
1st
Very cool and thanks for watching!!
them quad tires eat pretty good lol
1000x better than turf tires. Thanks so much watching
