[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4082475, member: 15054"] Not a Prius just a bit smaller. I have a 20HP automatic( red mower) and a 15 HP automatic (Orange) riding mower and neither one will pull my boat or trailer around the yard. It's a tight turn in my small back yard and i usually used my Geo metro but I sold it. Lots of back and forth with the car or truck so a mower does well. Those 2 newer mowers SUCK!!!! just slips the clutch and smell burning and no pulling action, that is a big disappointment, all that power and you can't work it. The green mower is a 1980 Gambles with a 3 speed transmission. You are solid in gear and it pulls anything I need pulled into the yard. Wife was 10 years old and used that Gambles in Missouri to mow her grandfathers yard/barn area. My kids mowed with it and my grand kid has driven it around the yard. I removed the mower deck about 4 years ago and it just gets used for pulling duty. 10HP briggs and original rear tires from 1980 on three corners. [ATTACH type="full"]396694[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]396695[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]396696[/ATTACH] That Orange one I got as a busted mower and fixed it and used the deck off the Gambles to repair the rusted out deck on this newer one. That and a lot of fiberglass. [/QUOTE]
