lawnmower marathon

[pacharan]

Anyone here ever done one of these?

Not sure whether to use a self propelled or a normal push mower as not sure of the speeds involved. Will be a team of 4 so 1 hour on 3 hours off.
Just thinking that having a drive belt might inhibit our speed. Then again will be knackered after a couple of hours so would be good to have self propulsion in the latter stages.

Think my Briggs is too heavy duty but might be ok if I strip it down, remove the blades and stick some cool decals on it. Failing that, might get something off eBay with an aluminum deck.

Any thoughts?

And you think threads about Scottish football are boring.

LOL, actually the rules state that sit on mowers aren't permitted.
