Friday Fun: Lawn Mower Pull

If you want Doc and the rest of the back room gang to put down their tools for a moment and maybe even get glassy-eyed, ask them about last week’s lawn mower pull in Oak Grove and what they would do with a lawn mower if they had five or six thousand dollars to put into it.

Mowers competed to pull a “weight-laden sled down a dirt track as far as possible, up to 300 feet.” Lawn mowers in the outlaw division can cost five or six thousand dollars and pull sleds weighing around 6500 lbs.

The event was a fundraiser for the Oak Grove-Thach Volunteer Fire Department in north Alabama.
