The problem with the Deere riding mowers is that they also have the same irritating safety stuff... Hey, I don't mind the stuff that makes sense but the one's I'm trying to override make sense only for the most seriously challenged... That ain't me... I've bypassed these two irritaing so-called safety features for the last 30 some years and have neevr been hurt in the slightest...

Here's an example of just how senseless these things are... You are our using your mower collecting leaves in the bagger attachment... Now if you have a decent amount of leave, which I do, the bag will fill up in less than 2 minutes... In order to empty the bags you have to shut everything off, including putting the sumabcih in "park" (not just neutral), shutting off the engine, etc... That's about 4 steps... Then it's off the tractor for 20 seconds to empty the leaves in to composting area and then another half a dozen steps before resuming...

Irritating...
