Last year looking for a ZTR, thanks in part to Brain here, ended up getting a Country Clipper.
Mowing tonight, at the "end", did our fenced in area for the dogs.
Since we got "Balto" (per my post on finding him in the pet section here on this forum) we had to use a steel cable chain to keep him away from the fence so he wouldn't dig to get out to get to our house).
We'll, I'm zipping along with the country clipper and STUPID me I forgot that the cable was laying next to the tree it was "hooked up" to.
Clunk...Oh crap, I'm on the cable.
Turn the blades off, the mower sheared the cable and not sure what is underneath.
Ride the mower up to the driveway and in less than 3 minutes lift the deck up and remove the remaining 2' of cable off the blades.
Easy to do, then kept mowing.
Made me wonder, this was something that I didn't look at (lifting the deck up) on a Scag mower that I was looking at.
Question I have is how hard (and time wise) is it to lift the deck up and do maintence on another mower?
Never thought of it until I wanted to keep mowing after this STUPID incident.
