[AT] OT cutting more grass

[Dave Merchant]

This weekend on our Brownsville trip we saw something relevant on a 
dealer's lawn.

A 3 blade self powered trailer deck hitched behind a 4 wheel ATV.

Bet it was expensive, though!

One thing I'd worry about with ganging small mowers is all those chutes 
kicking out
rocks and ricocheting against the other mowers, then heading your way.
