Shove one handle foll forward, pull the other full back, and hang on! 
<LOL>  It's well less than zero turning radius then.

If you don't remember to put the one side in reverse it'll screw the 
inside tire right down through the sod and leave a divot about 8 inches 
across.  It's really amazing how quick that thing can turn.

I have the Cub Cadet all fixed up with towing straps to pull the mower 
out of the muddy ditch. <:-)).  If some one would put that 200# mower 
deck on the Cub Cadet, I could mow the yard too.  Course it's not as 
neat.  It pulls that mower out without even straining.

I remember being on top of the 90 footer when my daughter ran into the 
guy anchor with that Cub Cadet,  I had both arms and both legs wrapped 
around that tower hanging on for dear life!
