I could sure use that for some yardwork. Anyone ever run that or one of Struck's Magnatrac's?

Hmmm, looks like tracks on a mobility chair! :D It's hard to tell for sure, but it seemed to me that they weren't wearing a seat belt. There's no ROPS. If an operator made the mistake of dropping into a good sized ditch, that thing would launch them like a Looney Tunes cartoon. :eek:

I think it's a really cool machine for those little "back breaking" projects around the house. But I can also see a lot of liability issues for the manufacturer. Nowdays, if you can sue McDonalds over HOT COFFEE (gee, you mean coffee's hot?), then anythings possible with operator mistake injuries on a machine this small. After one good lawsuit, the machine's no longer made, and none of us can buy one. :(

Not to be a buzzkill...

Looks allright for some of those jobs too small for some stuff and too big for others. Maybe I'm a pessimist but I would hate to see some homeowner get hurt not knowing how to get out of a bad spot(let alone avoiding it) I don't care for the operators position I can forsee several groin injuries after hitting a rock and the rock not moving :p :rolleyes: :D


Steve season begins next Sunday... I'm ready for a Mark Martin championship how bout you?

I dunno, did you notince the operator using a second lever to open the 4n1 or run the rippers, I'm thinking that the bugger has hydraulics only to lift the blade.... and from the length of the lever, maybe not even that.

I think I'd rather have a baby skid steer like a little 1825 case or something...
