Okay, now I'm very confused. Is that 4.3 liter V6, like a late '80s Buick Century? 30 thousandths oversize? something small, maybe a 500cfm 4bbl carb? and what are "jaws"?

I saw this some years ago. Not a mower I know but a mechanical buffalo. This one I call turbo buffalo.

Gear heads may appreciate the thought and effort this guy put into it. Horizontal (nom.) 600cc single cylinder diesel. Prior to turbo 9.5 -12.5hp depending on model. This one don't know!

They are drag raced here. Normally they don't have turf tires!

Hey Mike, what does a mechanical buffalo do in real life? All real buffaloes do in life is tear up sod and fart while looking beautiful. That thing sure looks like it could tear up some sod... Seriously, what is it?

Hey Nick! Good to hear from you.

They appear to be a decent tractor. Now you don't mind coming out here and helping me build my new shop do you?
