Looks like another case for Front Brakes

Reading this, I couldn't help but think that the tractor that they showed on the video looked like a zero turn mower. Don't want this to happen to you?

Check out the Front Disk Brakes for ZTR mowers. Once you see how effective they are, please take the time to contact your ZTR manufacturer.

Hope he makes a full recovery.

No plug, just facts. This happens way to often, and there is a solution. I came up with the solution, but it is up to the manufacturers to start putting it on their ZTR mowers. This accident that happened close to home is what caused me to start engineering the Front Braking System in the first place.
