haha yea, before I bought my lawntractor, I looked pretty hard at buying an ATV and then just getting a pull behind mower. But everytime I priced out the ATV I wanted, it was about 9 grand, lol.
and zuzuman, I used to drive my grampa's JD all over the place... if you actually got it on pavement with those sticky tires and dropped the clutch, you could easily get them tires way up!
