Let's hope it is not like mudageddon like we had 2.5 years ago. Still washing the mud off. And it never quite comes off.
The M37 I took to Haspin in 2010 got mud bogged a little, I sold it in 2012, and the guys who bought it found still-moist Haspin mud in the bed frame rails earlier this year when they tore it down for rebuild. The slick Indiana mud REALLY lasts!

I will be setting up in the same spot.. Hopefully anyways, the command camper got relieved of its duties, and the replacement requires a little bit more finesse as far as being level.. It's power requirements are 30A 120V and can plug into a regular outlet, or a 30A RV plug

See you Thursday!

I am planning to come Friday after work in the M909 and stay through at least Saturday afternoon. It just didn't work out for me to be able to take time off work to get there any earlier.

Search past Haspin media threads and you will see their mowers have mower decks, a Mowron does not.

Their mowers are slow and cumbersome, Mowrons are quick and agile. Stretch's will do over 50Mph.

Looks like I will be headed out Friday morning or afternoon/ evening. Have to play with some 12,470 tomorrow and Thursday. If all goes perfectly, and we know that usually doesn't happen I might even be there Thursday evening.

Well hopefully Rob it won't go like the rocket scientists pulling fiber at the MU Middletown campus. The saw the wires cut on the pole and without checking to see if they were live started pulling fiber into a live underground power conduit feeding the campus.

The guy survived but no one knows how.

Ours are more all around machines than the racing mowers you have pictured... We can rock crawl, mud, drag race, or course race... Did I mention "Woohoo"?
