mmmmmmm...I wonder if I could get a tractor for my next protest...thanks I will look into that :p

I believe the Reverend Blair has a two-wheeler. Breaks down a lot though, apparently.

I've been trying to find a riding sulky for it, which would essentially turn it into a riding mower with no brakes and questionable steering. It seems nobody has one that they want to sell though.

Could you not fabricate such a thing yourself? (Granted, I have no concept of a sulky - I'm imagining a seat with 2 wheels). Sounds a hoot, though - I've been dragged around fields by a rotavator; doing it seated and brakeless could only add to the experience. Let me know how you get on - assuming you can still type.

Well ehm...I worry about taking a rubber bullet...the old scottish socialist Angus, showed me his brand. 8O imagine shooting a 78 year old man with a rubber bullet...ahhhhh..but angus is the man..

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
`Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!' he said:

I've tried to talk my little brother into it, since he has the skills and access to the equipment, but he doesn't want to.

(Granted, I have no concept of a sulky - I'm imagining a seat with 2 wheels).

That's about all this thing is, although it needs to hitch that allows you to reach the handle bars of the walking tractor and attach implements between the tractor and the sulky.

Sounds a hoot, though - I've been dragged around fields by a rotavator;

My last rototiller (that's what we call rotavators) had a transmission malfunction and pinned me against the shed wall, beating the hell out of me. It was when I was looking for a replacement for it that I came across the walking tractor.

Walking tractor? Isn't that like an oxymoron? Kind of like a ride'm mower you have to push?

You guys are too funny! I love these "concept" mowers.

Nah, I didn't see any of them myself, but couldn't stop thinking about that long drive...Hope they all had the newer heated models :)
