When I`m using the riding mower and put it in reverse with the blades engaged the engine stop. It`s a real pain to disengage the blades and then back up. There are not any kids or pets in the area so everything is clear. How can I correct this problem? Thanks for any advice Herb


Government mandated rules are to protect the dumbest among us.

Er..... how is cutting in reverse more dangerous than cutting going forwards?

We have people in government that have to come up with things to keep
their jobs. Just as the warning on the cigarett packages about being
bad for your health.

You may not be old enough** to remember that that was a compromise.
One side wanted to ban cigarettes completely. Would that have been
better? Don't you think a stupid 12 or 15-year old should be told
smoking is bad for him by someone other than his parents, if they did?
(FWIW, it's those who are "conservative" now who brought about the ban
on alcohol, which didn't work well.)

What I really hate is the 'new' gas can regulations. I have a one
gallon can that I bought for the weed eater mixed fuel. I have spilt
more out of that can each time I use it than I do out of my 5 gallon
cans of the old type all year.

Another is that the government has the home owner mower blades going so
slow I can not get a good cut of the grass with the mower going very
fast.

YOu may back over something with the blades going. Mainly a child that
comes behind you and you do not look back.

Do you not look back when you reverse your car? Do you not look back when you reverse your mower? Is your child too thick to get out of the way of a big noisy machine?

What a moron you are. Do you think they did this before plenty of
children had already been hurt?

The more safety rules we have, the more stupid people will survive. The next generation will be dumb as ****.

I'm surpised you made it past infancy yourself.
