Got one of these, because I'm not a lazy fat ass.



It's the little things like this that make me realize I'm better than most of you punters.

rat, I have a reel mower also, works way way better on my bermuda grass. Only problem is I wish it was heavier so the tires wouldnt drag at low speed mowing. In order to get the reel going you have to push faster and that causes a bit of bouncing and the finish product isnt as 'flat' as Im trying to achieve. The motorized reel mowers work perfect as they are heavy and keep a consistent keel at any speed, but they are big-bucks. So I just use the oldskool version.

You can't even grow grass, how do you expect to operate a lawn mower.

I had the same problem once upon a time when I still needed a lawn mower. Mine had metal wheels with soft rubber tires.......I just filled all the spaces with melted lead.

Fixed the entire dragging problem, but the sumbitch weighed a lot more.

Good idea Ewb, Ive even thought about disengaging the wheel drive, and mounting a simple 110v electric motor on the thing to keep the reel at a constant RPM and then you could push slower and get a good result. Just never got around to it, sounded like a fun little shop project.

Pick up some weights at a local garage sale - most people are practically giving them away - and add as much weight as you need.

Then market it as a super-hip, GREEN, Upper and Lower Body fitness machine. "The Mean Green Machine" - the next step beyond spinning classes.

I'll expect to see your infomercial going national, complete with Chuck Norris cheerfully demonstrating how easy it is to change the weights, within three weeks.

Let me know when my royalty checks are in the mail.

Royalty checks? Thanks to your involvement with the development stage of the product, you'll be the second person listed on the lawsuit against Racer92 when some Rich Cain runs himself over with it........ "I had no idea this lawnmowing workout machine was dangerous. How was I supposed to know that something with sharp metal cutting blades would cut me up if I tried to shave my chest with it?"

I don't think they are related but I do think they went to the same fly casting classes.

Rat just seems to choose the same bait as RM250guy

There's one HUGE difference though.

SuperRat is just kidding.

RM250GUY was dead serious about his stuff.

Was John serious? I thought he was just trying to get a reaction . . .

I'm not sure John could have been too serious if he was clever enough to come up with those covers. That was the best (maybe only good) part of his schtick.

Oh, he was serious, especially when it concerned whatever his latest toy acquisition was .... right up to the point where he would get his ass handed to him.

Then it would quickly morph into " Hey, I was just effing with you guys. And you fell for it." with the required confirmation smileys strewn about.

I remember using one of those as a kid. I saw one at HomeDepot the other day and thought about getting one. I was thinking cutting 3 1/2 acres with one of those would be a good addition to my training program for MX.

Not to poke fun at persons of girth, but that pic he used to use as his sig .... showing him jumping his RM .... bulging leathers about to burst ... always gave me a chuckle.

The image just seemed so incongruous.
