Do any of you have 'dampened control arms' on your ZT mower?

If so, will you explain the benefit vs. non-dampened?

Thanks!

It not only stops the popping of wheelies but more than that it keeps you from spinning the rear wheels as bad and tearing up the turf when you making turns and makes the machine all around easier to operate.
 
Yes, I meant "Lap Bars". (I thought they were called control arms)

I'm a bit puzzled by "popping wheelies", which is something I've not yet experienced. I would guess because when I push the bars to go forward I ease into it...?

I thought (maybe) by having dampened lap bars some of the hurky jerky effect would be lessened when in a tight space cuz your engine is at full throttle and when careful/almost delicate steering is necessary. I hope I'm being clear...?

I'm sure this feature comes with a greater cost than non-dampened, but I wonder if this is really a feature you really don't need once you get a few hours on the machine and learns it's quirks. Or, is it something that no matter how good you get controlling your machine you're always going to be glad you've got it?
 
Wheelies are from going backwards and quickly going forwards. Most that have it love it . I like mine with full control.

LOL well that is what we call them here is control arms and the only thing referred to as a lap bar is the drop down bar when running bobcats, skitters, etc. that hold you in the seat and activates the safety features for operations.
 
I just wanted to make sure he and I were on the same page. I don't care what anyone calls anything except for engines and motors. That has to be correct :)
