I have a rather silly video for you today. I basically whined about my mower for ten solid minutes. Enjoy! 

For all of the 'Not a Car November' videos, I'm trying out not writing a script. They're all relatively simple, so it's been working out rather well so far. This isn't my new direction or anything. I just wanted to pump out a few videos without procrastinating writing a script for several days. Most of these 'not a cars' will make for relatively throw away videos, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to wing it for a few videos.

My Lawn Mower Annoys Me

I have the same mower but with the Kohler. The oil drain is on the other side, but it still sucks. I have to remove the cover and the starter in order to reach the drain bolt. Oil always gets everywhere and I just have to hose it all down. Never had an issue with the drive belts though.

It's hard to make my husband laugh but the dance moves but made him lose it 😊

The video made me smile. What more can I ask. Plus, I like your editing.

This is a strange comment about a strange video: Would it be possible to fill any of the tires with any water?

Y'know, that's a fairly common thing on tractors. I'd do it, but I'd worry about rust

if the oil drain is not convenient, why dont you just use an oil suck machine? I use it most years, and only 3-4 years I open the drain plug. it gets most of the

The other problem with a tractor style lawn mower is that you don't feel like riding a tank, and I believe the tank steering really adds a lot to the lawn mowing experience.

If not water, how about some light oil?

I think you can get fluids designed for this purpose. When my buddy bought his tractor they just called it "beat juice." I'm not sure if it is literally beat juice or if that is some sort of trade name.

As a Brit with a tiny lawn I've always been jealous of these big lawn mowers but now I'm reconsidering. I think you should just tow some gang cylinder mowers behind the Trabant or Reliant, sounds like much more fun.

Super duty? The marketing is strong with this. Doesn't look a patch on the old Ferris/Scag machines I used to maintain.

I was more bored with the fact that your lawnmower sucks than I probably should have. Also got angry-ish at you cutting dry grass.

David

I feel the need to ask about the spider. Do you have nasty ones where you live? Need to kill them when you spot them? What was the one that distracted you?

Nick Elrod

100% with you on electric mowers, I'll never get another gas mower so long as I can help it.

Venomous. if it were poisonous you'd have to eat it to die and thats much worse in my opinion.

David

I probably should not have Googled that. Are they quite common over there? Robert sounded a little surprised when he spotted it, but for all I know they might be everywhere?

Brown recluses are indeed exceedingly common here. Nasty little buggers. The one that distracted me in the video was just a wolf spider though. It was enormous and brazenly waltzing across the shop

David

Waltzing indeed! Did you have some nice 3/4 time signature music for it to waltz to? :) I only wondered, as you seemed really quite surprised by it being there. In the UK, the vast majority of spiders are essentially harmless, so I'd only ever evict them rather than squishing them.

Lowe’s sold a “hybrid” mower/atv. It was absolute garbage. I would love a robot mower though but they’re incredibly expensive for the amount of land they’ll cover. Quite frankly it could just low a little every day and I’d be happy.
