I bet you could rig em up with a remote control from an RC car and mow while you sit in the shade sipping your favorite beverage. :D

Nice, Lenn. So on the controls, one is the clutch and one is the throttle? I had John Deere riders for so long I have forgotten. No lawn here in the desert, just gravel.

Yepper, we changed the tensioner around today so it pushes down on the belt instead of pulling it up, works better but no grass to mow.
