Not so loud. We gotta keep that hush-hush, or else the self-proclaimed protectors of ourselves, the destroyers of personal responsibility and frequently freedom, will enact some legilation to prevent them from mowing in reverse too.ZTRs mow in reverse by definition. You push forward on one stick and that side goes forward. both sticks; you go forward. one stick forward, one back; you go in circles. Both sticks back; you are mowing in reverse.
Dumb tractors...
Oh, you have not heard?Not so loud. We gotta keep that hush-hush,..
I actually thought about this as a possible alternative to the lockout solution. A backup beeper. What's next? Mirrors?Oh, you have not heard?
Fox News Alert: Effective Jan 2011 ZTRs will be equipped with an audible beeping alarm to alert bystanders when one wheel is rotating in the opposite direction of the other thus indicating the mower maybe turning quickly in a new direction.
The sounds of a busy truck loading dock coming to a neighborhood near you!
I'm kidding!![]()
You know, that's not that difficult to believe, and that's truly scary. Of course, now that you've posted it, the chances of it actually happening have increased at least tenfold, for surely at least one of those aforementioned "protectors" will catch wind of it, and believe it to be the will of the sheeple, er, I mean, people.Oh, you have not heard?

I'm thinking flashing yellow beacons and maybe an audible "Danger, Will Robinson!"I actually thought about this as a possible alternative to the lockout solution. A backup beeper. What's next? Mirrors?
Especially about 7:00am on a Sunday...You know, if your mower was equiped with a Mow in Reverse switch, it would not be hard to install a beeper of some sort. Just enough to make the neighbors jealous.
