It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

Here we go again, HCI? NOS? Turbo? My guess is 4.5hp max, may have had 5 when new, but that beast is looking a little long in the tooth.

It don't matter, that bad boy in the background looks to be the Top Fuel of lawn machines, that little walk behind don't stand a chance no matter what the HP/Trq be.

Exactly how much does the fatty weigh that is behind the walk behind mower? And is there a weight break for the riding mower? And is beer involved?
