“In 1949, Warrensburg, MO resident Max Swisher invented the very first commercially available zero-turn mower and called it the "Ride King". It was a three-wheeled machine - one drive wheel in front and two in the rear. The patented system utilized the front wheel as the drive wheel that also was able to turn an amazing 360 degrees. The wheel was driven by the motor in the same direction 100% of the time. In order to reverse and/or utilize the zero turn capabilities, you simply turn the steering wheel 180 degrees and the mower would move in reverse”

That drive would be great thru the hull of a little flat bottom boat!

:bigthink: Amphibious tractor??

I was trying to use that drive and mount it on the frt.of a dump cart , once
My neighbor had 3 swisher mowers ,he and his wife used them in tandem , they work good on hilly slopes ,your not going to turn one over , the ones he had anyway. ....some people want to mow as slow as they can ...it will happen to you , if you live long enough

So, here is the one near me. I inquired about it. I figure what the hell. Lol
