They Left Me Home Alone: Mower Wheelies And Time Trial
My wife had to work and the children are with their Grandparents...What to do?
Today I have been catching up on Steemit Posts and string trimming. Then I had a lot of time on my hands.
So I was thinking(scary right?), the Dixie Chopper is advertised as The World's Fastest Mower...I wonder how fast it really goes?
Then I was thinking ,even more...We're In The Danger Zone Now...can't you hear the music?...
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go
Highway to the danger zone
Ride into the danger zone
Speed Calculations
I timed the video using a stopwatch. 3.72 seconds is the average time I had over 5 tries. The distance was 50 feet. As I said in the video, Rate * Time=Distance. So Distance/Time=Rate.
SO CLOSE TO 10 MPH...9.16422043 MPH
Well, that was fun. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

Haha! Fuck yeah dude! Following you for sure! I live in a small apartment complex in Long Beach, CA. We have a small "patch of grass " that is about 20'X20', BUT I absolutely would feel justified buying this motorized vehicular lawn mowing vessel to mow said lawn. I'm guessing that it could possibly double as a motorized transport vehicle (like the HoverRound)! I mean, I'd have to "bulk" up by driving as many tacos and cheese burgers into my gut to the point where I'm only breathing through my mouth so that it'd be believable that I would need a "motorized transport chair". I'd just roll on in to local Walgreens on this thing, purchase some magnum condoms and roll out of the store (knocking a display or two over)
.... you inspire me!
P.s. I checked the math on your calculations, and you are SPOT ON sir!
This would be an epic Walgreens event. I would pull a lawn chair up to watch this. The deck on this bad boy is 5 feet wide, but if it can push 300-pound log ties and tow trailers full of mulch, then I am sure it could push a display or two out of the way. Your choice of purchase brings up so many possibilities of what you could add to the purchase. Maybe some duct tape, bleach, and garbage bags? A couple of 40 oz's? I'm sure they sell ski masks or black caps a certain time of year....
wtf is that contraption
It's a Dixie Chopper Lawn Mower. I can't even imagine how long it would take me to mow the yard if I didn't have it. This thing has been in barbed wire fences, rolled down hills, towed, dragged, kicked...and it just keeps humping along.
Things to do when kids aren't around :D
Lol, I know. Could you imagine seeing one of your kids doing that on a mower? Ah. Good times.
Live in the moment while it lasts :D
Looks like fun!
Lol, it was.
you doing great @lexikon082..hope you enjoyed:)
Lol, I did @Bilbek!
great...!!!resteemed:))
Hahahahaha!! Boys and their machines! :))
That was an awesome wheelie btw!! Looks like you had a jolt coming down though
Lol, yes I did. I went a lot higher than I expected.
Glad you didn't get back-planted ;)
Me too. Sliced and diced @lexikon082 would probably not serve well on the menu.
If it makes you feel better, I'd encourage people not to order the Sliced and Diced @lexikon082 featured on the day's menu ;)
