My dad bought one of those effin things for his farm a few years back. I used to cut his lawn with a 1910 diesel powered hand held modified rototiller, and as soon as I move out he goes and buys a sit down, 5 speed 4 wheel steering $10 000 monstrosity for his wife to drive.
Priorities, I guess. The good news is that because of her success, we just picked one up that looks exactly like the one in the picture for where we work, and it's amazing. It came with a PTO attachment, snow blade, 2 different lawn cutting attachment, and one of those barrel type sweeper things.
That was last year and Tron's still not allowed to touch it....
