Motorized Couch

Last year I was quite amazed by the mobile picnic table, so for Gravelrama 37 we decided to build a motorized couch just to have some fun. It was a great success and proved very useful for fetching ice and other things thanks to the pickup bed attached to the rear. A coffee table on the front provides a nice place to rest your feet and favorite beverage.

Technical Specs: Built on a Toro Groundmaster Zero turn lawnmower, 12hp Kohler power, electric start, 2 hydros on the front, 1 cable activated crazy wheel in the rear. Top speed is about 10 mph unless you are sitting on the outside seat during a zero tun manuver, then things get really hoppin!

This couch can safley support 3 people 250 lbs ++ It has 2 gears forward and 1 reverse, Running ligts were added during the event so that we would comply with the rules for golf carts and quads operating after dark. Look for more pictures of it in Sand Times Magazine, it should be on shelves soon.
