Lawn Mower Race: Homestead Garage's Crazy Hay Bale Challenge! #shorts

What happens here

Once the mower is running, release the parking brake. Use both hands to grasp the steering control levers. To move forward, push both levers forward simultaneously. To turn, push one lever forward while slightly pulling the other lever back (or holding it in place). The tighter the difference in lever movement, the sharper the turn. Practice smooth, controlled movements. The video shows participants navigating a course marked by hay bales, which requires precise control and anticipation of turns. Maintain a safe speed and be aware of your surroundings.

Goal: Maneuver the zero-turn mower around a designated course.
