Anyone who has to ask won't understand.

I think it's awesome. I'm glad he spend the $8k so I don't have to. Just where does one get a garden tractor size gase turbine engine anyway? i wonder if there are any videos of it running. I'd love to hear the little jet engine purr.

Oh he does deserve a Tim the Toolman Taylor grunt for that!!!!

I just wonder how fast I can get my yard mowed with that?

Pretty neat - looks like he did a nice job on it!

If you read the article, he geared it down to output 3600 RPM just like the stock gas engine... it goes no faster than the original! :laughing:

How cool !!!!

And I was impressed with the guys running small turbo diesels ! I'd love to have that just to annoy my neighbors.
