Good thick skin....Be prepared to meet the village clown he’ll comment soon enough. You may not see it though with his track record.

Life's too short to be fragile & sensitive. Gotta stay happy & see the positive in everything

WELCOME! When I got ours, I asked my wife where the check book was,she asked what I was going to do with it and I said going to town to do something stupid and I returned with a P1, she got really mad and didn't talk to me for two weeks. I came home from work one day and she was hauling mulch around in her wheel barrow, I went to the shop and got the P1 and loaded up a full load of mulch and started distributing bags of mulch next to her flower beds, she asked me how it started and worked, I showed her. Next day when I got home she had our P1 piled full of stuff, showed her how the dump bed worked, her wheel barrow has been sitting the shop ever since, we use it all the time for every thing on our small acreage. They are truly a work saver and fun on the trails!

Welcome from west Georgia . That name snagged my attention to when I saw it.

Why?

The VC probably comment rudely for fear he's next! HA!

 

[CASTRATE]

Why?

In ruts & caddywompus terrain, has a bit of a difficult time applying consistent pressure to the skinny pedal. The buggy got a bit jumpy. She'll get the hang of it, though

I've been thinking about a heel ledge on the floor board to anchor your heel, when I get tired and I start driving jumpy, I have forgotten the keep my heel planted, it takes a little getting used to. How's she like it?

Definitely likes it over our 2013 Foreman. Things get a bit cramped on there with the 2 of us plus my 6 year old. We've got another little one on the way, so she said eff ir, get the sxs. We live on a farm, so unless we've gotta go into town, atv/utv/tractor is what we'll typically drive around
