Raven

[Gumby]

Hi all. Haven't been here for a bit. I'm sure some of you appreciate that.
ANYWAY, something new a co-worker was telling me about.

I don't own one, but want to. Not a spokesman or anything - just letting you know what's out there.

Combo lawn mower, hauler, generator thing.

Seriously cool, it is. Not much more price wise than a regular lawn tractor. I want one. never had heard of it before.

Anyone have one? would like some reviews. That's all. I'll go back into my cave now.

Sorry I've been such an a$$hat lateley. I'm not normally like that. I apologize.

An ATV mower .
My property is what I call lumpy,you cant mow fast without the Deere bouncing you around , that suspension may be nice. Like the generator aspect.
The cruise control picture on their website is upside down.

Wonder how much they are? Good concept and I like the stealth mode for hunting. However, like all new companies starting up, what about the dealer network and customer support. As for me - I have a farm and use a Kawasaki side by side and haul a Yamaha generator with me when I need power. As for a versatile back roads machine - looks pretty flimsy for any serious off-roading. I like my John Deer for cutting the lawn and I can put a blade on my Tyrex side by side for snow clearing in the winter.

Lot's more opportunty to fix? lol

Seriously, a cool thing for what it is designed for. Not meant to be a 4x4. Just a mower for small acarage, with the capability to do WAY more than was previously possible.
Even power a campsite for a day or to. Or provide power to a house in a pinch. and tow stuff/haul stuff. Pretty versitile. Damn cool idea.

With a way bigger gas capacity than home generators, plus WAY more power. What's not to love?

Haters gonna hate.

I think that they are a trendsetter. They have broken the mold. From now on - this is what you will see from all manufacturers.

Everybody else is "pooping" their pants and scrambling to make a clone. I "SHOOT" you not. I gaurentee it. This Raven is SO versitle.

No way in hell that it is going to be a fly by night thing. My bet, 6-10 months, ALL stupid yard tracters will have this tech. If not, the Raven will outsell them all.

It is such a cool idea. Hell, they are even for sale on Amazon - ... ok, good bye, lol.

It is what it it is. i was just trying to share some cool stuff a coworker told me about. Love it or hate it, it is what it is.
I don't really care.

I thought it was kinda cool, that's all. I want one.
Just saw them for sale on Amazon. I wouldn't have even posted all this if I would have known that. Sorry.
