Jims Toro mower #07 - Daniel mowing the horse pasture with the Toro.
First off, yes, I am aware that 11 is under the "recommended" starting age is 12, but keep in mind, this is not his first day operating equipment.
He is a lot more mature around equipment than 90% of the kids in his peer group.
Remember, the studies are based on children that went from playing with toy fire trucks, to learning to mow in one day.
Let that soak in for a bit.
He has had a lot more exposure to equipment, and its associated dangers than some "kids" in their 20's.
His parents are (hopefully) buying a house with a pretty good sized lawn, and dads gonna need help cutting it. ;-)
Daniel is pretty good with machines, this was his first time behind the bars of a mower with the blades engaged.
(He has operated it before with the blades off.) He did a great job.
This machine has several safety features, that amazingly enough, are still in place. (With the exception of the grass chute) Generally the older machines get the cut out switches defeated over time.)
