| I would like to take a poll on how many members use this site as well as the other Off road mower site : ATLMAI attempted to become a member of thiers, but they have ridiculous rules and are "braggy" if you know what i mean.. But, I would imagine some members here are members there...or are they rivals? was this site started because they are dicks? Clue me in...school me oh wizards of the web... | |

| That forum was abandoned by the members for all the horrid rules. Just look, the last post made was MONTHS ago. | |

| ...Chris is a DICK. He is like a five year old ( This is MY sand box and YOU WILL PLAY MY WAY!) Will not carry on an adult conversation if you dont see it his way you are a stupid " back-yard-basher (BYB)". He doesn't want us back-yard-bashers playing in his sand box! and has stated he wold rather see the web site go down then then let us back-yard-bashers play in his sand box! IMO " Backyard bashers are NOT welcome here. this is the wrong place for you!" | |

| I considered joining there years ago - till i saw how the moderator treated people ( his way or highway) - the fact about that is he's also in cahoots with heymow - the racing tractor site, so he probably has to stay strict to keep on their good side.
I understand not all people have a ton of cash to build proper machines, heck i dont - why most my tractors have been WIPs or taken apart/rebuilt better. Im not saying dont have fun, just be careful.
Id say for safety's sake at least have decent brakes and wear a helmit - even on a stock tractor . Ive run some stockers thru the swamp behind the folks house and flipped over/crashed tons of times , and wasnt wearing a helmit - but came darn close to being hurt bad enough more then a few times.
Y just dont bounce back as easy when y get older - ive had my share of ER visits over the years - worst one was cutting my right middle finger down to the tendon working on my plain stock mower - 7 stitches to close it up, done it like 4 years ago and still bothers me sometimes , specially in cold weather.
All it takes is for that 'one' bad crash to ruin things.

| I personally am against being so strick that it comes off as rude.. I am much more for "Guidelines", Dont tell me what to do, but give me guidance..let me make my own choice to do the right thing.. I think we as a community have a responsibility to just look out for each other and simply suggest alternatives when we see unsafe things.. I hate to hear of accidents, sorry about your knuckle(s) | |
