What is your favorite landscaping job?

Yeah, the only other downside to a Zero Turn is that it is more difficult(but not impossible) to sip on a cold one "while mowing". Mine does have a cup-holder built in to the left gas tank which tells me that drinking while mowing is "encouraged" by the manufacturer. But the lap bar design tends to occupy both hands to control the ZTR:0(
I'm practicing putting one hand(the right one) in the middle of the lap bars when on a long straight run and grabbing a drink of my nice cold Michelob Ultra with the left hand, but it sure was easier with a steering wheel on the old lawn tractor. I figure I'll have that lap bar technique perfected by the end of this mowing season:0)

I live in north Georgia and in July when I've been on my ZTR for a few hours the only thing that stops me in that heat is a cold one. There are no police officers and no checkpoints. Just me and my floating deck on my property.

Bomba,
As far as I know there "is" a DUI(Driving Under the Influence) law here in Tennessee, but no MUI(Mowing Under the Influence) law on the books as of yet:0)

Yeah, you can get arrested for drinking while driving a lawn mower.

I'm guilty of that.
