my kid was on a zero turn at 5, and did fine, to each their own, we all have to decide our risk level. my son runs the backhoe on my larger tractor, better then my wife does.

But you were there to stop or help them in an instant if something went wrong. Little hard to run down a zero turn if something goes bad.

More they were there to free up a body to throw and stack hay. Because 5 year old girls that weigh 40 lbs are of no use throwing 55 lb hay bales all day

Round and round she goes, where she stops nobody knows.
Do we go to the kids funeral?
Does he make a fortune as a big time landscaper in the future?
Does he run dad over by accident?
Just don't come crying to me if you get a boo, boo.

What a sexist thing to say. Girls can do anything a boy can.

Yeah...lets put bubble wrap on them and mow down every obstacle in front of them.

Protect them instead of teach them is a recipe for disaster.

I know a a kid that lost his leg to a zero turn, so I question the wisdom. But dang he looks good up there!

Was it this kind?

or?

If the 2nd one, how do you lose fingers with these? surely they didn't try to clear a clogged grass chute with it running...right?

 

[LittleBill21]

2nd one, and yes that's exactly what they did.
