Car dork. I don't need or take meds. I would however be in jail I'd you were to stand in front of me. You say I need meds just because I stated a fact that you sissy libs pass sissy laws. It's a fact jack. So piss off sissy boy. You needs meds for being a sissy American line real that will die when civil war breaks out.

It is completely absurd, we leave the ROPS folded. Dixie Chopper doesn't have a discharge chute, i can close the chute i guess. No worries about not hiring me you aren't really a candidate for professional lawn care anyway you have your "commercial mower".

We've decided to change our uniform to bubble wrap with football helmets though just to stay ahead of Johnny law.

I can't wear a full face helmet I just want to keep trying to lick the face shield. Since we're all to dumb to not roll a 1,500 machine with a center of gravity 4"s off the ground on all those 60 degree hills we mow 8-10 hours a day none stop.

Ok i shouldn't talk like that its immature but lets face it if we all followed the OSHA dictionary to the "T" and had federal laws for seat belts, ROPS, and discharge chutes, ect. We'd be breaking some kind of law just getting out of bed.

Instead of being a hater as the kids say these days look at the positive. We are all for the most part being as safe as we can out there. We are also beautifying neighborhoods across America one lawn at a time. So, don't be mad because your neighbor hired a professional and their yard looks better, and it gets done in a tenth the time it takes you to do yours. Every minute in my day equals money back into small business's. not to mention someone who isn't jobless occupying Wall Street living off the hard working tax payers dollar, because they were brought up thinking everybody owes them something. You live under whatever pretense you want but stop imposing misguided judgmental laws on everyone else when you have no clue what we go through everyday to make an honest buck the American way.

Well said , and thanks for serving!

Like I wrote , let homeowners insurances decide obviously its not an issue or they would hit you with the bill.
My rops on my big tractor makes perfect sense high center of gravity digging on slopes gets tricky. But, a low slung ZTR no. They put them on to cover themselves from lawyers. My homeowners insurance never asks FWIW. So obviously its not much of an issue.

Most lawn services carry insurances , I'd imagine ....

Don't forget the flame retardant suit. Halo systems and oxygen mask.

Smart lawn services are insured... I am insured minimally but then again I don't use big equipment so my worst thing is running over a dog or putting a rock through a window
