Those zero turning circle machines are awesome! Never used one personally but heard high reviews. There was a possibility of us getting one as our old one died but got a regular one instead.

Hi, I am able to tow a trailer, Buzz. So I would assume an esky could be fastened to said trailer resulting in a mobile beer fridge. Thankyou for your concern, but I have already considered this. :D Yer Luke, I think I'm going to do it. Now to convince the boss that ten grand couldn't be better spent elsewhere. Where is elsewhere? Cheers, Nik

Hi, That's what I do, I call people by their middle or last name. How long have you guys been in Australia, Waltsy? Current one is broken! Drive belt snapped coming down the hill, nearly killing me, I even dropped my beer! They reckon a spindle is cracked as well - so I'm probably up for a few hundred bucks - stupid Husqvarna pricing!!! Never again! Cheers, Nik

Hi, It was one of those hilarious, low speed collisions that could easily have been avoided. Like an old person knocking over a pot plant. It's a stepper automatic speed lever, so you just use it to slow down, but once the drive belt snapped I had no means of slowing down... ...so I ran off the road, hit a bollard light, dribbled through a ditch and came to rest near the dam - after figuring out the brake still worked fine... ! Cheers, Nik

Haha wouldve been a funny one to watch! Dad once had to dive for his life off our rideon - gear slipped, brakes failed down a slippery, steep hill. Mower was heading straight for the fence at the bottom of the hill. It hit right in the middle of ~2m of wire fencing between 2 wooden supports - after he dove off and rolled down the hill!! Lucky escape!

Hi Jesse, Tell your folks congratulations on a beautiful property. I could see myself relaxing over a few cold ones on that verandah. Bloody nice. It's flat as a tack over here, I'm in a 'valley' but you boys from over east would just laugh at what that means here in WA! Cheers, Nik

Hey Nik, cheers, it is a very nice place, the verandah is built over a edge so if your standing on the edge you are about 5M from the ground, had many a nice brew from there. Awesome place to watch storms as they tear up the valley. Jesse
