The new pistol grips/steering system is great!

Hope Scag comes out with something like that! My forearms are gonna be bigger than Popeyes since having to put the larger springs on my hydro to pull my sulky. :)

Ahem....Scag Mfg....are you listening???

Hey Kutter,

Where'd you get that picture? :)

[Turf Kutter]

Cutter1 gave it to me. He went to his dealer and the dealer had that poster I guess then he scanned it and sent to me e-mail then I put it up on my site and linked it to here.
That hydro looks pretty cool.I call it pilot control grips:D.

[Lazer]

It's from their new brochure.

I scanned, clipped and e-mailed it to him. (That's why it's so huge, I don't know how to make the little scans.)

I thought you were the "Cutter" I sent it to.

[geogunn]

with those upturned handles I'll bet you can really get your knuckles whacked good by passing too close to things!

Then you sent it to Cutter 1 then Cutter 1 sent it to me.

I tried out those handles for exmark, and the dam things kept on cutting-out as I would take it up small hills. The Safety mechinism does not have enough human downforce to keep from stalling the engine. I will have fun laughing in the face of thier jackleged engineers if they intend to produced this pistol grip. Let you guys be warned.

[Lazer]

That's why the call it a prototype.

Their "jackleadged" engineers have taken them from one of the youngest mower manufacturer to one of the largest in 15 years.

I doubt they'll strike out on this one.

What Lazer really meant to say was:

The Toro Corp. has taken eXmark from one of the youngest mower manufacturer to one of the largest in 15 years.

[Lazer]

Wrong.

Toro aquired Exmark in 1997 AFTER Exmark had more commercial market share than Toro.

If you can't beat them, buy them.

[machine]

Sorry to blast Exmark, they were great back in the day, to bad they got bought out by a substandard company such as Toro.

[bob]

2 years from now every lawn mower manufacturer will offer these hand grips. They'll all jump on the band wagon!

[greenflag]

Looks like a variation of the Toro T-bar system to me.

I have two Exmark walk behinds. I like the handles just the way they are. Those pistol grips look out of place and uncomfortable. Just my opinion

I used Eric's new search page to find this. Much easier! Much more practical! Much faster! Much info!

To the point, I am to test the TT 48" 17hp KAW soon.
What should I look for?
What questions should I ask specifically about this new design?
Ect!

Thanks everyone for the help, and thanks eric for the new page!
