[@Airphonics421]

Got the same exact model craftsman in my backyard. Got it to go 45 mph, now I’m gonna lower it and make it a drift mower. Love the build. 👍

Fantastic!!!..What an awesome video!!!.Really beautiful mud mower!!!.I miss Florida so badly..I am uo here in cold Pennsylvania..I remember swimming across the Manatee river to go mushroom hunting in these huge fields..We used to walk down the gator trails where the gators used to drag the cows down to the water ..My friend Leigh pulled a whole ribcage out of the water one time..I spent so much time going to school down there..-John

Hey Mr Chud, I'm wondering if you could educate a beginner. Can you explain how to tell the difference between a hydro mower and a manual mower? Is there anything wrong with pulley swapping a hydro mower vs a manual mower?

[@chud327]

Hydro usually have go pedals on the right side where manuals do not. Sometimes it is a shifter to n the fender that has no gear numbers... If you see numbers, it is probably a manual. Good luck and thanks for watching!!

So true, great point, used to have one and sold it. This one is most built mostly for deep sand, does pretty much as good as a 2WD atv. My biggest issue is those cost thousands, I bet I have less than $100 in this one... dollar to dollar, this one is so much better. thanks for the advice and for watching. Also, you probably know as good as I do, atv video just don't get as good in the views department.

Why is it more fun with a ATV than this mud mower? It's more fun riding a modified lawn tractor that you have built yourself than riding a ATV that is the same type and model as everyone else have.
