That's a pretty cool machine. Notice how he gets them all set and then goes,
and the ditches all have precision cross-sections, and the tractor goes in
a straight line.

I was helping a Chinese student with the english in her term paper once,
years ago, and part of her paper was about an eight legged machine that
was undrivable (pre computer era). Too many degrees of freedom for
a person to co-ordinate...

I have a 2.5 acre pond I mow around and a potential rollover is always on my mind when mowing.  Last summer a 29 YO neighbor was pinned under his tractor and drowned before they could get him out.   This rascal would do the trick!

It's more of a Quadrapus than an Octopus, just sayin'.

That is one expensive mower.
