I saw this at Lowe's today.
An ATV with a mowing deck under it and a built in generator beneath the seat.
Wow!

Hopefully this is the first of a new trend. I like multipurpose equipment.
Saw you tomorrow!

I saw one last fall in our lowes and at first really thought it was a good idea until I noticed the blades are run by electric motors. That didn't impress me as I don't think it would hold up to grass cutting. Neat little concept though.

Not what I would call an atv at all, more like a riding mower with nightmare type gimmicks.

Cool idea! I had seen one locally at Lowes.  I think it might do well if a name brand mower company marketed it.

I agree.

Just try to order parts from Lowes . I think it would be like Wal Mart . You want us to do what [pause while they call a manager gets off the phone and says we don't do that you are on your own ]. Gearbox

7100w generator, pretty big.  Too bad it doesn't have 240v, then I could plug in my welder ;)  Electric for the mower blade... So is the drive line electric as well?  That would be interesting.  However, it doesn't look to be 4WD.  If its not 4WD, I don't consider it an ATV, just a go-cart! :D

Would work I guess for a couple acres or less? Can't imagine it holding up to serious use on a large parcel. But to be fair, maybe it's not intended to. Parts? User serviceable? 4wD? Tractor Supply had something like that last time I was there... I tend to distrust 'flashy looking' body molding, and gimmicks. But that's just me...

Now you can watch football on TV..  while mixing your favorite drink in a blender.. and mow grass at the same time.  Add a George Forman grill..  how could you ever complain about mowing grass again? 

I did see a riding lawnmower w/ a generator at one of the Box stores.  You could run your hedge trimmer, blower, etc..  no more long cords.. hook up an electric string trimmer or 2 for doing fence lines.  If you had a good alternator on your existing mower.. you could hook up an inverter for power.
