Come for a Ride on Dazzler's Mower

nice place for mower riding & also good for playing off-road R/C vehicle.

thanks for posting dazz! 2 acres my goodness! do share 1 each with trish when mowing?

You need a couple of sheep to "mow" and "fertilise" the lawn, Daz.....

Just a thought, you could strap your camera on the back of one of them and then post the results on EweTube.....

I was getting mower sick with all the uneven ground

How often do you mow?

Dazzler · **Reply #6: May 04, 2011, 09:43:47**

Sometime I have to mow every 10 days but when drier I can go a whole month or longer (2 and a half hours including the nature strips) and then every month or so an hour or two with the Whipper Snipper to tidy up and every 6 months or so spray the bits I can't get to with herbicide...

The mower levels things out a bit but the wildlife (mainly rabbits) rough it up again..

A lot of animals (including sheep) would nibble on our shrubs as well

The mower is too big for Trish (She can't get the footbrake off.. the spring is too strong

)

Yes good for R/C vehicles (although they are pretty expensive too)

Fine vid mate; just managed to sneak in a couple of glimpses of the CW to keep it topical too

An -almost- excellent test drive of the JD X300 17HP.
Any numbers for 0-100m, top speed and 60-100m overtaking?

Slow, quite slow and even slower

The engine is great but the transmission is a limiting factor (it is a Hydrostatic Transmission) and wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding

I like your videos Dazz. I was offended by the music in this one though!!

"We'll go riding on the horses yeah yeah"

What is a "horses yeah yeah"? Sounds a bit rude!!!

Bit of a story with that one.. I knew I was going to mention that the mower had a 17HP Kawasaki motor .. When I hopped on the mower I started listening to music on my wildfire phone and was only halfway across the block when that song came on (soon as I heard "the Horses") I thought that has to be the song

Was real p'd off when I had to remake the Tassie is Awesome video because they wouldn't accept my first choice of music... Their loss (they could have sold a lot of CD's off my video)

Can you do this on your mower, Daz?

Dazzler · **Reply #15: May 07, 2011, 12:38:43**

Nearly done it a couple times on steep bits of the block (real scary) seeing that it weighs about 260KGs

I'm sure that sort of thing would be welcomed in the land of Martin Bryant....

I would like one for the Plovers (but Trish wouldn't let me take out the rabbits - even though they look might tasty)

agentr31 · **Reply #19: May 07, 2011, 14:23:21**

bah... im sure being as quiet as they are, no one would know

the hard thing now is getting your gun licence, and storing your weapons... even an air rifle needs the same storage facilities as a 30-30... pretty sad aye!

dunno if i would eat a rabbit i shot in suburbia... might be deseased... or any rabbit myself, duck yer that would be good, actually its been quite some time since ive had duck

Tell me about it, I ended up getting rid of all my rifles thanks to Martin Bryant & little Johnny Howard.....

I see you enjoy driving your mower, Daz, don't you?

Driving your mower is now enrolled into a list of things to do if I ever happen to fly to Australia (two way ticket by Emirates costs 50000rub, that is roughtly 1800USD

)

I hope you do get to come here - then you've just got to ask Dazz if you can take his mower for a spin

Dazzler · **Reply #25: April 27, 2012, 12:23:02**

Yep no probs (but don't run over any of Trish's shrubs)

Or there would be hell to pay

It is looking a lot better now and I feel better than I did 12 months ago (mostly) so I might have to make another video when it greens up a tad more

I'll ask Daz to lend me his mower to get back home

(that would be a long, long, long trip, no doubt)

So, a 1 way ticket is only half a much

Here in Gods county we have been mowing weekly for months now....Mowing videos don't interest us....
