So you want to race lawnmowers? #equipexpo #diy #lawncare #tradeshow
What happens here
Identify a large, flat, open area such as a paved parking lot, similar to the setting shown in the video. Using a series of hay bales, create a winding, maze-like obstacle course. Arrange the hay bales to form tight turns, straightaways, and chicanes that will test the driver's skill with a zero-turn mower. Ensure the course is wide enough for the mower but challenging enough to require precise steering. An aerial perspective, as seen in the video, can help visualize the full layout. Consider marking the start and finish lines clearly.
Goal: To build a challenging hay bale obstacle course for zero-turn mowers.
Tools and materials
- Chalk or Spray Paint — Marking out the course design on the ground before placing hay bales
- Hay Bales N/A — Creating the barriers and path of the obstacle course
- Large Open Area N/A — The space where the course will be set up
