Default Off Road Lawnmower

I have made one before, but what do you think is the ideal off road lawn mower base?

I'd go with an older cub cadet or one with driveshaft, I got a John Deere with 14hp Kohler on it.

haha. That is awesome.

I'd say you definitely don't want one with a hydrostatic transmission.

Um....all lawn mowers are off road lawn mowers....that is where the grass is.

I know what you mean though. People race them so why not put some sort of lift on them.
