amputation of leg or genitals? (Two cases I recall.)

No, they dont.

I liked the way one riding mower did. There is a psition on the
stsrting switch that allows backing up with the blades moving. I
defeated three others by putting a jumper around a switch. Some of the
mowers were not mine.

I did not allow my children to be in the yard I was mowing. Simple way
to solve prolem.

My push mower has a bar that has to be held down. All in all that isn\'t
a bad idea and it isn\'t all that inconvenient.

Yep. A velcro strap took care of that one.

I never bothered. If I have to stop to move furniture or hoses it\'s only
one pull to get it running again. It\'s like one of those stupid cars where
the engine turns off at stoplights. It has never happened but there\'s a
drop off in the lawn that is quite steep. If I lost control and the mower
rolled down it I\'d rather it was running.

Not a problem with my Troy-Bilt.

The mulcher works great. No raking or emptying bags and in the fall it
turns leaves into confetti. A rider would be more trouble than it\'s worth.
Besides, according to the GPS I get to walk a mile and a quarter. Gotta
keep the step count up.

I think mine would be 11 miles with a walk-behind. One of my
nerdier colleagues calculated it.

The tractor is also useful for pulling a trailer around the property.
It can go places my SUV can\'t.

Takes me almost three hours with a 48\" riding mower. It would
probably take 12 hours to use my old 21\" self-propelled walk-behind Toro.

>The [lawn] tractor is also useful for pulling a trailer around the property.

Yes, although I find the loader on my 27hp Kubota to make a fine wheelbarrow :).
