My step dad john decided that using the weed eater in our front yard wasn't much fun since it is just a big hill, so he came up with the idea of bungee cording the shut off handle and using a tow rope tied to the push mower to cut the hill watch this its funny:)

  • I dread to think how he gets his hair cut.

  • he doesn't get his hair cut lol

  • Can't you just cut along the slope, instead of up and down? That's the way I've always done it.

  • nope not that yard it doesn't look that steep till you walk up it if you try to go side to side the mower gets excess oil to the piston and smokes real bad like any mower would and it will tip over that hill is about a 50 or 65 degree slope

  • that thing sounds like it has rocks in the crankcase. how long after the video did it throw the rod?

  • na it still runs you just hearing the rocks an sticks in the yard that it was hittin the mower runs great

  • Actually this guy is very smart and not lazy at all. If he decides to move with the mower up and down in a hil or slope is dangerous and you can damage your back or have any other accident. I think I will try this method in my slopes.

  • It's a little backwards. He should position the lawn mower to descend the hill backwards, using the rope to keep the drive wheels just off the ground. Then at the bottom, relax the rope so the drive wheels bite and drive it back up the hill.

  • Dang Hill billies ;)

  • Nothing wrong with this! I've done banks like this for years. It's certainly safe, as the mower can never run you over if it gets away, and you can slip and fall because you are standing on level ground at the top. It just takes a little strength to reel the lawn mower back up the hill after every pass.

  • We did this for years along US route 30 in pennsylvania. I never thought much about it when I was a kid, but I'll bet that the cars driving by at the bottom of the bank didn't think that highly of someone doing it. We just used yellow nylon rope if I recall correctly, and a lawn boy mower.

    That was before you had to hold something on the handle together to keep the mower running.

  • dont know what the big deal is. Done this many..MANY..a time in my youth cutting lawns. We just didnt have people around filming EVERY DAMN THING

  • This is why I make almost 7 figures per year ... defending companies against stupid shit like this when it goes wrong for the operator.

  • if it were self propelled 1 person at top another at the bottom turn it around then send it back might neet weights for traction going up but would be a whole less dangerous

  • I think thats one reason they make self propelled lawn mowers and riders

  • I think that one reason they make self propelled lawn mowers and riders
