Mowing the grass & leaves today i ran over a dead semi decomposed animal, i was off the shoulder of the highway, here i'm merrily scooting along everything is right with the world when i hear "UNGGGHHH!" fur and bone exit the discharge into the highway, the smell was naueasating i almost barfed several times needless to say the whole day mowing was spend dodgeing down wind of those toxic fumes, afterwards i cleaned it good with a hose & water needless to say its not going back into my garage where my Vette & Jeep are no sir!
Sometimes the smell of gutting animals in the summer can make my stomach a little upset.
During the winter, it's no problem.
Never ran over a dead one on a mower though.
Nah! This was bigger than a rodent, this was a raccoon or something it had got flattened and somehow ended up on the shoulder of the road i didn't see it and i guess the blades sucked it up. Either way i just bought the mower a few months ago, what a way to take the new smell off of it!
$2998.00 Troybuilt...........................yuck!
