Wish I had a video camera with me today.<br>Started doing on of my Thursday customers; a double lot, about 2/3 to 3/4 of an acre multi-level yard with lots of trimming w/ weedeater.<br>Anyways as I was cruising into the backyard with my bobcat, I spy the little old lady next door doing her backyard (a 50 x 100 area that would take me maybe 1.5 min.) with a crapsman 30" rear engine rider, similar in style to the forrest gump mower I started out with years ago. She was 30-40% done with that section, mowing NASCAR style (round & round) in 2nd gear.<br>I must have startled her as I came into my section, by the look on her face; the kind a yugo owner gets when a big 4x4 is coming at them in the opposite lane.<br>Anyways, we exchanged waves & continued. I think I had 40% of the yard done by the time she finished that little circle.<br>Just amazing the difference between the 2 ends of the spectrum of homeowner vs. commercial equipment.When I get old & gray my ZTR will be an antique & seem like a dinosaur compared to what will come in the future. It's hard to believe you can mow grass any faster than todays mowers will cut, esp. Dixies.<p>----------<br>Smitty ô¿ô<p><p><font size="1">Edited by: yardsmith
