currently leaving 5 metre rooster tails of wood cuttings, and doing 15minutes a litre of 2 stroke mix

Clearly toes are no longer any concern - but with balls the size of yours - you'd better be real careful

Seriously ...I need to find out if someone knows what the best type of angular gearbox would be to transfer some of the drive to the mower deck...im using a safari transfer case to kick it in and out of gear,.
Got some serious mowin to do

Had trouble keeping the seven out of the flower beds when I took it for a few trial laps last week.

Wouldn't a V6 sink in to the lawn? But I must admit I can see the point. Especially as in the UK lawnmowers are exempt from SVA regs. There is another legal advantage but I won't go into that.
