Driving home in the pickup with the wife the other day, spotted this on the side of the road. Gave her the "can I stop" look..:i_praying she gave me the "sigh, if you must" look:duh:.
Tossed it in the bed, now it takes up another 10 sq foot in the garage.:hide: It's pretty beat and doesn't have the handy "dump from seat" style bag, but hey, it was FREE. I think the previous owner's jury-rigged "swiffer" mop handle for a support bar is a quaint touch (the green-blue colored rod sticking out at the bottom of the photo.) I'll have to see if I can do something about that.
I still don't have a bagger for my new i-Series Cub -- I was planning on just mowing frequently and maybe getting gator blades so figured I didn't need a bagger. But this will help in a pinch. Mower deck is 50" and this sweeper is only 30" so we'll see if it leaves stripes.
Oh, the other funny thing is when I pulled the pickup off the road we were in a very slight ditch. The truck leaned sideways maybe 10 deg. Wife was in a state of sheer panic.. thought we were going to flip over. She leaned hard left the entire time I was out of the truck in order to "keep it from tipping". Anybody know at what angle your typical pickup will tip over sideways? I'm pretty sure it's a lot more than 10 degrees.:ROF
