    I will get it up on blocks and look for bendage. I suppose if not severely bent it could come and go, vs. a hard bend and do it all the time.
    Back acreage 4.5" and it fracking rough back there, yet I have become proud of mowing around my newly planted trees
    Near house 2.75"

    Kubota gets on to me when the tractor goes in, then I had the service guy try and hook on to a bucket at the dealer with safety switch on, lol he couldn't do it without lifting out of the seat and killing the tractor, lol, you can't see what your doing upfront, the safety switch then becomes a hazard. It does make sense to have it on in shop though or if one of my teenagers is operating.

    I can be all about overriding switches and stuff. But even your good example you clearly know what is going on.

    If I cut any lower than 3.25 I’m positive my lawn will die. If I cut 3.5 it grows higher than your ankles in less than a week and 3.25 stunts the growth and turns the grass almost yellow

    Painted the top side of the hood and hit my box blade with the leftovers. Waiting on it to dry a bit before moving it and spraying some yellow.

    Anyone know how to bypass the safety feature on a zero turn seat? My yard is rough as hell and every time I hit a decent bump and my ass comes off the seat a hair it wants to cut the mower off. I unplugged it and jumped a wire across the plug and the only thing that allows me to do now is to get off the mower sitting still with the blades on. It’s annoying because I have 5 acres that are pretty rough

    If the switch is in the seat (as opposed to being on the seat suspension) it might look like the one below. I had the same problem on an electric warehouse tug, especially with lighter guys. I used a hole saw to make a puck out of 1/2 plywood and hot melt glued it on top of the switch, fixed the problem. The safety circuit still worked as intended, the operator just needed to rise a bit further off the seat for it to open.
