Had to lock the handle for the places I run. Sorry that I didn't want to take the time to pull a pin and put it back in for every different type of situation.

Floating handle, balanced motors suck ass in vegetation.

Even then, its still gunna fly sideways if you get a prop hit.

My point is your talkin shit to Shafer about not having his handle floating on his GDSD, when he runs stumps and heavy vegetation.

Yea you're implying that Shafer didn't even know that the motor he owned and ran all duck season didnt have a floating handle. I would call that talking smack.

Your like the little kid who fucks something up, and then your dad asks you about it, and you say " what are you talking about dad? I didn't do anything!"

Owen, that made little to no sense at all... Next time you have a , just shit can it, please.

-Love,
-Everybody

I run a longtail in the stumps and very rarely does the fixed tiller get the best of me!

Don't hold onto it with a death grip, barely grasp the handle so it takes it out of your hand when you hit something instead of ripping your arm off.. it will come right back into your hand. It usually gets me in the grass when you do really have to bow up on the tiller and hit something.

I have also hit stumps with the prop just right where it swings sideways and knocks the breath out of me, but not very often.

When ur not thinkin about it, and get comfortable and kinda slide back toward the tiller, that's when a prop strike will bite you in the ass!
