It is what it is. This project isn't intended to be the most perfectly engineered off road lawn tractor in the world. But it clearly works pretty well, so don't be so critical guys. It's also version 2.0, not 12.0. Sure, there are ways to make this rig better. I've got three lawn tractors sitting in my yard and who knows, maybe I'll try my hand at building a better version. But until I or someone else builds a superior rig, don't be so quick to point out flaws in this one. This guy deserves a round of free beer for his efforts. It took a lot of work to put together a working model, test it, disassemble it, and build it back better. That's the mark of a dedicated DIY project guy who just wasn't satisfied with the first version because he knew he could improve the design...and he did. My hat's off to DangerDave.
