Nice looking mower you just sold. I worked one summer in high school putting hours on prototype mowers for Snapper. Hydro transmissions were pretty nice. We also had a few zero turning radius (ZTR) mowers that you controlled with only a stick, sort of like the cyclic control on a helicopter. Also a hydro tranny, but with a different user interface. I thought they were pretty cool, at least as far as lawn mowers go.
