Wife/Husband tag team the yard

An update from the only Honda owner with the gumption to post...

After some drag races down the road to establish the Honda RT5000 11/46 vs the Sinplicity Prestige 23/54 speed champion (Honda 6.5mph set for speed vs Simplicity hydro 7.2mph) we set to mowing the 4 acres.

Needless to say, Cathy won. She would lap me and I would pull aside and let her pass. The RT5000 mows at best a speed of 4.2mph with the split tranny in low with high grear selected, bikini on the Prestige at around 7mph. What a sight! Fun had by all and the cars did slow down.

To tell the truth, the Honda rides better with the mega tires fore/aft but the cut quality of the Simplicity rules. The Honda does a fine job but it just cuts the grass. The Prestige sucks the grass upright and lops the top off.

Cathy says stripes next year. It was her first time mowing with the Prestige and she truly enjoyed it.

Me, I always enjoy a nice slow ride on the RT5000. Life is good.

Both have power steering and ATC but the 4WD on the Honda comes in handy. The turning radius stinks, even with the 4WS, compared to the Prestige but there is just something about the RT5000 that says "so what".

Another month or two you can whop the snowblowers on way up north there in Lake effect snowland and repeat the race! Make her wear the bikini and get some pics this time!! ROF ROF ROF

Shoot.... I vote for a video. Just so we get the full effect you know.

Sorry guys but the bikini pictures, well I figure 50/50 chance of getting away with it. Video would be up to you. You've got until maybe mid September before it gets too cool for a two piece. We close the pool sometime in September before the leaves start to fall.

Blowable snow is from late November until March. Fluries run from October through April.

I laid out on the grass on a knoll in the shade of a tree and watched Cathy mowing. No ants or other bugs during that half-hour! BTW, our ants don't bite.

Cathy had fun and says that she wants to mow more often.

I will be trailering both GTs to the in-laws so we can double-team their 15 acres. Female attire TBD but some of the runs are 1500' long and close to the road..................

This yard takes 5 hours with the Prestige and 10 hours with the RT5000 (that is a long ride!).

My wife mowed with the 48'' cut MTD and I followed her with The BX23 60" cut Kubota.
Don't take long to mow 2.33 acres when you are cutting a 9 foot swarh.
