Give me convenience or give me death! (Land Rover Lawnmower content)

In reply to Robbie :

Where are the seagulls? 

FWIW my mower cuts much better forwards than backwards. And you need more cheap mowers 

I must see the results of this...

I have like 3 of them that I could donate to the cause.

Scratch that, I just realized I need to get busy duct-taping push mowers together to hang off the back of my tractor.  

I have to think that the correct way to do this would be to get at least 3, somehow weld them together in a flying V formation, and then attach the three of them to a trailer tongue. 

This is the general idea, but with real mowers:

But those are reel mowers.

Tip your waitress folks, he's here til Thursday. 

Yeah, I think the cut width needs to match the engine power, so you should be shooting for a 15' wide cut or so.

So we will have a Rover Mower?  A Land Mower?  

Many just a LRM?  

You need a ground driven mower.  Totally legit. 

In reply to Fueled by Caffeine :

Brilliant and scare AF at the same time 

See, I probably would have just turned the pinion upside-down and welded a blade onto that and called it a day.  Nothing like the 4' long whirling blade of death to cut some grass.

Dang, that wins. 

Patience, my preciouses, my loves. Not sure when my next day off will be, but it’ll be awesome, faux reel.

In reply to Fueled by Caffeine :

There were lots of agriculture things for the Jeep to mimic a tractor.   Even a three point hitch.

These appear to be those gangs of reel mowers.  Holy carp, they're kinda spendy.

I always thought a group of mowers was called a “murder.”

In reply to poopshovel again :

Given how some folks seem to obsess about their lawns, a "pride" might be a more fitting term.

Except in Baltimore.  There it would be called an unkindness.

Couldn’t get the free mower (“Mower B”) to start. But a few zipties and a chain got V1.0 rolling. IT WORKED!!!

there is much Hong in that pic.   and much MURRICA.   pulling a single 20"-ish  mower with an 8 mpg (in this usage) truck just says POINT ONE PERCENT GLOBALLY, BITCHES!

Replace non-working mower B with a goat?   I just wanted to bring goats into this since they are an alternative lawn mower.  I like goats.  Maybe I shouldn't suggest they be pulled behind a Land Rover...

In reply to WilD :

I like goats too. My parents generally keep one or two. Saved me from pulling weeds when I was younger. But hitching one up to a car may be a good way to reenact that scene from Vacation.
