Yeah but 8 K for a mower isn't a bad price. I've seen ZTR's on the showroom floor going for 14K. I know 8K is a sizable amount of money and not everyone needs to spend that much money on a mower but it can get you into a real good quality Commercial mower.
 
Run a dixie chopper it's only $12k and you get a cooler. Seriously though I've never had any luck with a cup holder on my mowers except to hold a squeeze bottle with 2-4-D to spot spray broad leaf while mowing. Unless i was driving around a neighborhood on perfectly smooth roads I'd be spilling my beer with all the bouncing around in yards. Walker mowers are just weird i drove one around at the GIE last year and just didn't get why anyone doing 8-9 yards a day would one. Unless you had a 1/2 acre yard you just had to vacuum every week.

Here's a link to a "no spill" cup holder. I had several similar to this mounted on my first fiberglass boat. I kept them when I sold the boat and mounted one on my first lawn tractor. They work great!!!!

The trick to the design is to have the holder pivot one direction at the mounting plate and the other direction and the holder(therefore you get a "balanced" swing due to the weight of what is in the holder). Seems like I bought mine at Bass Pro Shop or West Marine 10 years ago and they were "much cheaper"(like about $8-$10 each).

I know the majority of people in Scotland like to cut their grass in the morning! I like it on a sunday morning when the sunshine is out :laughing:
