Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Hey Ted, here's our finished product!!

It worked fine for most of the year until the I mis calculated the turning radius. As soon as the front wheels hit the down slope, I knew I was in for a ride.

a)I couldn't put a foot out to slow down because of the blades whirring in the deck.

b)Do I bail off now and stay dry, but maybe get chopped?

c)If I stay on, how far do I ride this thing into the water?

d)If I ride this thing into the water, what happens when it hits the bottom?

I opted for e) ride it down until the nose hits the water, then jump into the pond as far as I could.

It was about a 1:1 slope, and the water level was about 5' below where I was cutting. I ended up muddy and wet, but not sliced and diced. It took getting the truck and a long heavy tow strap to get it out. I pulled the sparkplug turned it over a few times, drained/refilled the oil & gas, took off the air filter blew it out with air & put in a new spark plug. After cranking for a bit it fired right up. The battery lasted the rest of the year as well.
