That would not work for me. Every single person who has tried to use my Grasshopper has banged it up or worse, driven it into something. I had to replace the bag holders when a neighbor borrowed the my old Grasshopper and ran it into a building. Another neighbor did me a favor when I was out of town and mowed my lawn with my mower, and put a crease in the door of my old Explorer.
It seems to take folks a long time to internalize the concept that the mower pivots on the drive wheels, which are pretty much under your butt, and when you turn the front end right, the back goes left a nearly equal amount. Our trees have a "lawnmower disease" ring on the bark about 3 feet up, victims of Vicki learning to use the ZTR.
