My kids love the 'bota too! Short videos of them driving the L3600

[cook96cbra]

I had just unloaded the L3600 and they were standing there, ready to drive it.
They both have experience with this kind of stuff. I went through everything with them and had them repeat / show me. In the video of my daughter, my son had set the parking brake. I didn't know he did so there was a moment of confusion. I think it's funny that when she takes off in second at an idle she says "this is slow".

The goal is for them to learn how to run it well enough to help me when I need them to, plus IMO it's good for them. The more knowledge and experience in life, the better....

cook96cbra, you demonstrate how to parent. If you don't have a relationship you have rebellion when trying to parent.

Thank you sir. I try to involve them as much as I can but I'm really lucky that they are naturally interested in stuff I like. Motorcycles, quads, boats, hunting, fishing, guns....

They have a natural interest in things BECAUSE YOU have given them that interest. And there is no greater gift to a Dad then to have his kids follow him and have a good head on their shoulders, and understand life,,, Ya done good keep it up !

Thank you. I try. I hope they grow up and do well in life, that's my ultimate goal.

It's great to see kids learning things like that and off the iPhone, computers etc., nothing wrong with them if used properly and with adult oversight. All of our kids were raise learning to shoot, ride bikes, quads, drive machinery etc. and learned to appreciate good hard work and develop a good work ethic.

Glad to see your machine has roll over protection.
Great time to enforce using the seat belt all the time.
I had a close call doing a simple task and almost rolled my M7040.
I had not put the belt on because the task seemed devoid of risk.
Even at 69 we need to learn the simple lessons.
