I'd like to see what your yard would look like after using that thing!

Just watch, Hunter will get one now,lol He could go as fast on that thing as he could on his bike!!!

Heard of goats FTW!

They do all the work for you.

I love to mow the lawn. It's my favorite thing to do in the summer besides soak in my pool. I got a John Deere and I have about an acre to cut and I look forward to it every week.

Did you know that Lamborghini made tractors before they made sports cars?

No - I didn't. Learned something, but I'd still rather have a Countach than any tractor!

Isn't that why we have children in the first place?

Reminds me of a conversation with my dad back in '65 or so.

Dad: Steve! You want to cut the lawn for me?
Me: No, sir.
Dad: You gonna do it anyway?
Me: Yes, sir.

Not many know that Porsche build tractors too.

(Sorry, no English link on Wikipedia

But there is an American club devoted to them:http://porsche-diesel.com/)

BTW.
The "e" at the end of Porsche is pronounced. I always cringe when I hear English speaking people pronounce it "Porsh".

Cats eat grass too!

Then they throw it up on the carpet...

They still make tractors.

http://www.lamborghini-tractors.com/...defaulten.html

Enzo Ferrari refused to sell Mr.Lamborghini a car at one point so Lamborghini took the snub and made his own super cars.Of course neither Lamborghini Tractori nor Lamborghini Automobli are owned by anyone with the Lamborghini name anymore.

Enzo also subbed Ford acting like he was going to sign a production deal with Ford Motor he then refused to the deal out of the blue(likely his plan all along) Ford fought back which is how the GT40 was born to stick it back to Ferrari and it did winning 1st,2nd and 3rd place at the 1966 Le Mans 24 hour while no Ferraris made it into the top 15 ouch.

Glad you learned something knew. When I first found out a few years ago, I was like "No way."

I visited a customer's house once, when I was fixing white goods, and they had a few goats in the garden. I asked if they were to help cut the grass. "Yes, that's why we got them, but they've eaten everything in the garden but the grass! Even the washing!".

Oops.
