"Mower Bait"

[Sprinkler Buddy]

What does your mower like to eat the most? Rocks, hoses, tree roots, sprinklers, toys, hay bail strings, snakes, rabbits, etc... Share your story:

I almost added a puppy to my list yesterday, came out of nowhere. Lucky! little guy.

That is both sad and scary. I NEVER mow when one of our four cats is out, and keep the yard picked up really well, have never mowed over anything except a stray rock two or three times with a pusher.

Back about 1997, my dad in law was using my Deere 318 to mow over at his house, and he ran it over a big section of chicken wire fencing that had come down from around a tree trunk, it was wrapped around the deck blades so tight I had to put the tractor up on ramps and cut it free. He never asked to borrow my tractor after that.

When I get wire wrapped around my blades, I have found it much easier to just drop the blade and it comes right off. Makes ya cringe, you just know the blades are all scared up when that happens. :laughing:

Good idea, but my deck had 3 blades and the stuff was wrapped everyplace including the spindles and the engine just kept running and spooling the stuff around and I could not even get to the blade bolts because the wire was had been wrapped with burlap too....Deere blades are tough it didn't even scuff them up.

other than a rare occasional tree root or finessing over city parkway where there is a lot of irregular unleveled concrete,not much trouble,but my bait issue is with the string trimmer. over time i have hit a lot of cable,string,plants,etc and had to shut down very very quickly to unwind.

Atleast One of are guys is good for a pile of dog poo with a weed whip once a summer. I've done it once. Not fun

Has anyone ever calculated how far a mower blade turning at 3400 rpm can sling dog poo.

No but I've shot golf balls about 100yards

I think the best thing my mower ever chewed up was a hot wheels car my son left out, it didn't like very well because it spit it across the yard.
