Default So i figured out my business plan.

I won't need any zero turn lawnmowers, no employees , just a few push mowers, some 2x4's, a big hammer , and a roll of baler twine :

we used to try stuff like that on the tractor when plowing a field, one guy at each end of the field, get the tractor started down the furrow , and get off , guy at the other end catches it , turns it around , and sends it back. now if we just had 5-6 tractors it woulda been more work than fun.

That would never work with the plows I used, but sounds like fun to try. I can't imagine trying to jump on an 8630 dual'd up doing 10 mph with a six bottom sunk in, one slip and your dead!!

It wouldn't work with the newer bigger stuff ( we don't plow anymore, all no-till), but when we were plowing with a david brown 885, and a 3 furrow plow, it was do-able. I have heard stories of guys plowing in circles, using a screen door spring to hold the wheels cut into the edge of the furrow, getting off and just letting the tractor go until it runs out of fuel.

That's fine if you have a round lawn.
