Hey, my favorite video! My sons just watched it and laughed their butts off. :cheers:

My oldest looks at my youngest son and goes, "He's doing that on purpose to look like and idiot." Not too shabby an observer for an 8 year old. LOL

Not one time does he mention that the gas should be mixed with oil, Just that you should make sure you have enough gas to finnish the job, That must be that new four stroke Husky that they have been trying to keep under raps for the last couple of years. What a FN dumb azz! I wounder how much they paid to rent the skidder for the big film production.:dizzy: I wish they would have shown him running it, that would have been priceless! Good collection of video's guys keep them coming!:cheers:

We cut one up like that and use it at the camp for cutting the high weeds down, does a great job. We usually get several mowers off the curb every year. Some are fixable, some are donors. The flood got it before it broke and it got used hard, my one buddy is an expert at destroying mowers.:cry:

That's fine as long as its just long grass or weeds, but you take a piece of wood or root or rocks and you won't be running it for very long, trust me!

Cool! That's the first felling vid I've seen where I've been jealous of the tree. Esp about 5-12 seconds into the clip.

I ran over a survey pin with mine right after I bought my house.

Talk about a sudden :censored: stop.

Didn't hurt the mower a bit , couldn't believe it. Just bent the blade.:dizzy:

Your one of the lucky ones by the sounds! Did you ever check the flywheel key they shear pretty easy, it would make it hard starting, not to mention if it is sheard it sometimes will rip the cord out ya hand pretty nasty!!, usually bent crank will distort the crank seal and it will leak oil as well , and if she's bent bad most times it will destroy the engine down the road, but I have seen some bent cranks run for several years it just depends on how severe the cranks bent. If all that happened was a bent blade your lucky ,should have got a 6-49 ticket that day,lol.:cheers:

I imagine he's dead by now!:dizzy: Watching I figured the skidder was going to be done the first time it appeared in the video, I guess he got lucky the first couple of times. Why do people show there F-ups I have no clue! but it makes for good entertainment!:clap:

Couldn't believe it either. It really didn't hurt the motor at all, 3.5 horse briggs. Try that with some chicom junk!!!!!!! I don't still have that mower, but I did have it for a long time after until the deck rusted out, and then I gave the engine to a guy at work, AFAIK it's still going.:)

I still have the Briggs 3.5 Classic that was on the little orange Canadian Tire mower that my dad had when I was a little kid back in Ontario. It came out with us on the move, and over the years the mower eventually self-destructed around the engine. It hasn't run in a long time, but I'm sure it would. In the 20-odd years my dad ran it, he said he changed the oil ONCE.

Even better than a chainsaw...a truck. Sometimes I think this was planned ahead and done on purpose. Probably you've seen it already...
