It takes 3 whole seconds to go to neutral, wait a second then change direction without riding a wheelie. Damn, these machines are 50 plus years old. Ease up on them. They'll run forever if you take care of them.
You might want to get a rops or some type of protective cab! It will save you from a lot of abuse working in the woods! Great sounding solid older machine ! Blessings to you and stay safe!
That's what I was thinking, it's almost starting like wheelchair access. Anyway, it looks like fun. I'm still a little boy that want to play in the sand box and let my imagination go where it goes.
