I have 12 tractors and can only get on three of them by myself, the LT's. The wife has to boost me up on the GT's, so really don't "need" them, but I "HAVE" to have them, just like you in town with the small lot. So if it takes 1/2 hour or 3 1/2 hours to mow the lawn.
They are a part of the past, history

and darn cool

bet your neighbor don't have one. Sounds like a Tim Allen (tool time) episode.
