I only have one arm that works and the lawnmower is one of those zero 
turning radius machines.  It takes two hands to operate and I do mean 
two.  You can't take either hand off the handles long enough to scratch 
your nose.  Wife remarked that when she tried that the mower had turned 
90 degrees by the time she could grab the handle<:-))

But that big tower is just setting there...with a couple slopers leaning 
off the side.
