HILLSAFE SEAT
|
|
If you have a riding mower and find yourself perched precariously on the edge of your seat when mowing uneven ground, then a HILLSAFE SEAT is for you. It will give you increased comfort, safety, and wheel traction. Even in Kansas you may find yourself mowing close to roadside ditches or manmade landscaping. The HILLSAFE SEAT solves many problem for mowing on uneven terrain. It has no complicated hydraulic leveling systems or mechanical mechanisms. In fact there aren’t any moving parts. The secret of the seat is its shape. You simply move sideways in the seat and its unique design does the rest. Read the following explanation for complete details.
RIDER A ON A HILLSAFE SEAT HAS THREE BIG ADVANTAGES OVER RIDER B ON THE TYPICAL SEAT OF AN OUTDOOR MOWER SAFETY: Rider A’s center of gravity is over point A which is equidistant between the wheels and in no way contributes toward overturning. Rider B’s center of gravity is over point B and any further shift toward the outside of the left wheel greatly increases his danger of overturning. The center of gravity of the mower is low (over point C) and its effect is minimal. TRACTION: Rider A’s center of gravity falls over point A and his weight will be equally divided between the wheels. He will have the same traction on slopes that he does on level ground. Rider B’s weight is practically all on the left wheel causing the right wheel to lose traction. Most mowers are driven through a differential and forward motion will stop under these conditions. COMFORT: Rider A sits level and is comfortable. Rider B is sliding in his seat, has contorted backbone, and if not scared, he should be.
