Damn it man...see, I have been trying to tell folks that cutting grass CAN BE DANGEROUS.

[fastcat]

did u change the blades and scrape the deck while you had it on its side.

[MikeRi24]

glad you're ok.....But, generally speaking, those ROPS bars tend to work a little better when they are flipped up in place......

[B&M]

Good time to clean the deck. Hope your ok.

[nomad]

Hey did anybody check out the stripe roller I made on the bottom of my mower . I made it out of aluminum round stock.

[AdvancedLawns]

i noticed it, looks cool. Care to share how you made it?


btw...you had all that fun and didnt even invite your friends from lawnsite to share the fun?? you should be ashamed.:nono:

[Golden Boy]

Aren't you glad that the mower didn't also roll forward. Those ROPS bars are there for a reason

[mowerdude777]

Damn looks loke you had one awful, glad you are ok tho

[nomad]

The stripe roller is solid aluminum drilled 1" hole in each end made bushing for 3/4" bolt to fit in . Then made bracket to mount on back of deck . Then made two sloted end peaces welded the 3/4" bolts on them they fit in the roller about 1". Works good I hav'nt tore it of yet.

[french's lawn care]

i like how u use your rops bar for a fan mounting bracket makes me wish i had rops

[2brothersyardcare]

[lifetree]

LMAO ... he was proably changing his underpants !! :laugh: :laugh:

[FYS777]

I'm glad your ok to, but the manuals for these machines clearly states that you should not go side hill but go down and up the slope. clearly a bone head move on your part, !!!!!!:hammerhead::hammerhead::nono::nono:

[KCfireman]

Hey did anybody check out the stripe roller I made on the bottom of my mower . I made it out of aluminum round stock.I did notice that. I thought it was direct from the factory.;)

[CowboysLawnCare]

Putting that fan on there is a pretty good idea. Does it work good or wat?

[nomad]

The fan works great I had to add the cross brace to mount the fan on.

[CowboysLawnCare]

Thanks, I might have to try it out. Where did you buy it from? Like HomeDepot or something?

[nomad]

I got the fan from local auto store about 40.00 bucks

[Lawn Freak]

Glad your ok. I've had a few moments when I thought I was going over but it never has happened yet.....(knock on wood)

[rusty_keg_3]

Man, thats crazy, good thing your ok and the mower still works.

[93Chevy]

Glad you're okay. I'd be afraid to get back on that machine for a few hours. I slid down into the woods today, not near at bad as your accident, but I was scared to get back on after lunch.

[THC]

Hey did anybody check out the stripe roller I made on the bottom of my mower . I made it out of aluminum round stock.

I figured that's what it was, you also had a fan mounted behind your head.

[PMLawns]

OK so now that you are OK, just remember....there is no education in the second kick from a mule. On the lighter side, last picture, quick glance......Z attacked by giant cobra! Yes folks, it's passed by bedtime..........

[DLAWNS]

Glad you're okay...be careful out there. :)

[GreenmanCT]

thats the first thing i noticed b/c i didnt think think ferris had a stripe kit, so hows it work? lets see some pics.

[retrodog]

Wish I would have taken a picture of my little accident earlier this year. I had pulled a Bad Boy up in the back of truck so I could carry a few extra mowers. We got to the shop unloaded the trailer, and then I got the aluminum ramps out to back the mower off the truck. I have a 4x4 mega cab so it sits up pretty high off the ground. I got on the mower, started it up, and then said to my friend "I have a really bad feeling about this lets pull around to the back and back up to the ditch" he said "don't worry if you start to go over I will catch you".....Needless to say my dumb a%$ starts backing up. I mean right when the back wheels started going down the ramps the freaking front of the starts coming over....well my first reaction was to yank backwards on the drive arm to bring the front end down, but then I would have killed my great buddy that had his arms up trying to keep me from going over....Bear with me, this sucks to think back too.... so, I fall back first on the rock parking lot..big rocks too..., and then ...ouch... the mower then falls on me. I thought I died...I already have a bad back, and i thought I was atleast paralyzed for the rest of my life, but no, after about 30minutes of writhing around in the rocks begging everyone not to call the ambulance, pain subsided a little. We tend to learn new things everyday, so do not back a zero turn down ramps out of the back of your truck without first getting an incline...and don't listen to your buddies all the time, it just gets you hurt or in trouble.....lol

[Jason Rose]

Holy Cow!

I'm no advocate for ROPS, but I do believe that bar saved you, and the mower from a LOT of damage. I really wouldn't think a zero turn would even hold a slope like that, one that's steep enough to let the mower tip over. Usually it's catching a hole with the lower wheel that will put you in that situation. (or a good bump with the upper wheel).

[nomad]

I will try to take a few stripe pics soon.

[SchultzLawnCare]

I'm glad your ok to, but the manuals for these machines clearly states that you should not go side hill but go down and up the slope. clearly a bone head move on your part, !!!!!!:hammerhead::hammerhead::nono::nono:

youre nuts if your going to try and go up and down that hill!!! haha glad youre okay!

[Paul's LC]

Looks to me like this "SchultzLawnCare" guy knows what hes talkin about! When I approch a hill like that I use this amazing new invention called a push mower lol. But I shouldnt be talking cause I get standers in lakes lol

[STIHL GUY]

that sucks im glad nobody got hurt
