Hmmm. Must be those toy mowers. I am 6 foot 250 lbs and most mowers that I work on are fine. Now the neighbor that is 5'8" 300+ lbs recently brought a small ZTR that his stomach hangs nearly over the front axle does have problems with the lap bars with even adjust at their forward max position. I still haven't figure out why he brought a $4000 mower when all he needed to spend on his old mower was $450. But of course neighbor was too cheap to let me fix the problem before it got so bad. Now I got to hang his old mower so I can access the under carriage to weld 4 steel patch plates so I can remount the engine once I change the engine's access cover (oil pan) where he broke off 3 of the 4 bolts and broke the muffler. The mounting holes are currently about 2+ inches long slots from the wear.

Now there are a few taller people that will have problems even with the average rider here. I meet a gentleman back in the Summer here that was 6'8" and I know he would have problems using one. He had to watch out even for door openings. How he was driving that MG Midget was the question of course he had the seat back as far as it would go.

I now know why he is so heavy too as he rides it to the mailbox instead walking to the mailbox. I was down to 240 but I have been offline a few weeks to a messed hand and arm but they are getting better now so I back at work and boy it does pile up when no one does it.

Now I did see a small rider mower which I called toy riders at the local Wal-mart that probably would look like it would get squash if I sat on it. Definitely designed more for a kid to use than an adult. For is there a decent rider on the market there are here but I have no idea about the land of Australia.

As for being $20 to change I didn't know a pair of flat tip screwdrivers were that much but of course I always have them around too. Yes I normally use a small tire changer but every once a while the rims are struck on the axles I use the screwdrivers. I just did two rear tires on a go cart that needed tires but the owner just wanted tubes as the tires were $45 apiece. Until this I had only seen green tire slime but these had hot pink slime. Boy I hate this stuff.
