<p>My sentiments exactly. Now that I have to use the 4 wheeler as a
wheel chair, Any limb that can hit the end of my 14in Stihl top
handle chainsaw gets cut. I also have some of those ratcheting
loppers that have 36in handles. It doesn't take long for those
handles to get hard to squeeze though..<br>

I've had the throttle yanked closed on my gas (push)
lawnmower, by trees <br>
and brush, more times than I can count. Most of the time,
it's just a <br>
momentary blip; occasionally if I'm in heavy cutting at
the same time, <br>
it'll kill it.<br>
<br>
Have also had tree limbs and brush pull the throttle lever
back on JD A <br>
& H more than once. I *did* learn to duck and keep my
head out of <br>
trouble when mowing fencerows along the woods.<br>
<br>
I think I'd actually PAY to have a chance to run that <br>
annoying-to-turn-corners JD 9W sickle-bar mower for a day.
For some <br>
reason, I always enjoyed mowing hay & pasture. Other
than dodging <br>
groundhog holes and rocks, I could let my mind wander and
enjoy the <br>
outdoors.<br>
