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.
