Hurricane Helene crushed my 38" mower, and it just barely fit in the bed of my 93 Ranger. My options now are the dumpy looking disposable 30" riders, a 42" that won't fit in the truck, or a push mower that I'm too lazy to walk behind. I've decided that a single blade larger than 30" must be impractical because the spindles can't handle the Mandingo of a blade, and dual blades smaller than 42" total must be too many RPMs to hit target tip speed.

Insurance is paying for it, but I want something that fits in the truck. Any ideas?

Make some ramps over your wheel humps in the truck bed, or get a jet ski trailer for cheap and move the bunks to fit the mower
