Here's a couple of pictures of my new 21in. Snapper Trim Mower. I replaced the rear-wheels with larger pneumatic turf tires and replaced the front wheels with commercial radial style wheels.

P.S.
I also just got a new digital camera

Funky!!! Let us know how it works out...doesn't look like you used it much if at all.

Looks like those rear tires track too wide and will push the grass down before it is cut?????

 

[ULTIMATE LAWN]

Very Cool.

Here's my Modified Honda.

That's why they call it a push mower. I never pull a push mower, cause it is not meant to cut that way.

IMHO, great modification!!!

Does it push a lot easier?

The 1st picture is a bit distorted due to adjusting the picture size which makes the rear wheels look wider. The 2nd picture got cut off but shows the wheels at actual size. However the rear wheels do stick out about 1/2 inch past the deck. I have only tried it in my own yard but it seems to work really well. It is really easy to push & maneuver. Plan on putting it on the trailer next week to replace the old Snapper.

COS- I think he meant that if you are using it to mow a small area as opposed to just "trimming" with it, the 1/2" thats sticks out on the side that hasn't been mowed yet will get pushed down. Therefore when you get to the end of that row and turn around, you'll be mowing the grass that was pushed down by the tires on the previous lap. Thats the way I interpreted it at least.

Thanks. Just missed it. I don't think there is much weight to mash down the grass, but who knows?

Does it have that problem, yet?

Front tires of any mower will do that and they appear to all cut just fine? Blade should suck it up and cut it just fine.

bigfoot, looks like that thing needs a V-8 , a roll cage, and a 5 point harness

Is that a trash can lid?

 

[The Lawn Boy Pro]

No, Its a hover mower.

I bet FSM could make one of those hover mowers out of a trash can lid and a lawnboy engine though.

That's a good one, We'll give him 2 weeks!!!!

 

[The Lawn Boy Pro]

Gotta be a rubbermaid lid too. I hear they're thicker than a eXmark TT walkbehind deck! LOL

 

[broken leg]

Some one ask me what kind of push mower do you have. Well I don't have a push mower ever thing I have is selfpropelled

 

[The Lawn Boy Pro]

I really like them Monster Truck tires on that snaper man!

Everything i have too is SPed. My Hover mower (as seen above) is only for really steep ditches, inclines, and under tight places in a yard (under boats,etc)My Honda HR214 E.S. Twin Blade is for trimming
